Next update that includes more than 5 items will also need to make the backpack bigger - Games

Think about it. There are 95 items in the game that show up in the backpack (45 hats (not including the propaganda contest items), 3 miscs, 30 weapons, and 17 crafting related items (not including items without icons), and 100 backpack item spaces. Seeing as there are some people that collect every item available, and if Valve doesn't want people to moan about not having enough space when the next update with more than 5 items comes around (which may be the Engineer Update, or Community update 2), it would make sense to increase the backpack size.

Thats kinda the point. To not be able to have all items

Who would have all hats anyway, we don't need more backpack space.

Idle more.

[QUOTE=WarRage333;21407312]Thats kinda the point. To not be able to have all items[/QUOTE] Where's the fun in that? It's called collecting.

I agree that we will eventually need more space, if after many years of playing I did acquire all items, throwing out some would be very distressing. And crafting dupes will become impossible too.

You only really need one hat for each class. Well, you don't even need one. But you can only wear one at a time.

The backpack space will need to be increased eventually but at the moment its unnecessary.

Why? The Backpack is fine as it is. You have no life anyway if you get all the items in the game, think about all the constructive things you could of done with all that time and electricity wasted.

They get sleep, go to work/school and do other constructive stuff yet still get all the items.

What would be so hard about adding an extra backpack page? Is it really that hard to add in? Would it negativly impact the game? I doubt it.

There's no downside to adding a new backpack page, It certainly would make me happy.

At least make the backpack have another 1/2 page.

[QUOTE=Shibbey;21407497]You only really need one hat for each class. Well, you don't even need one.

I can see myself using both of those hats on and off... if I had them. I do have 2 demo hats, Hustler's Hallmark and the Glengarry Bonnet. The Hallmark is my favorite of the 2, but I have the bonnet if I'm in a bit of a Scottish mood.

They would need to upgrade (SPEND $$$) in order to give us another page of inventory.

I say they should double the pages to 4 or if they want to go way overboard, give 2 pages default, but then automatically add as many pages as you need whenever you get an item that brings your item count over your remaining slots. Maybe max pages could be 10 or so. (math stuff... 50 items = 2 pages, 100 items = 2 pages, 150 items = 3 pages, 1000 items = 20 pages, etc.)

They need to add another page or 2.

[QUOTE=afkmacro;21409171]Someone with more IT knowledge than me explained that adding another page per account would put tremendous strain on their current database capabilities. They would need to upgrade (SPEND $$$) in order to give us another page of inventory.[/QUOTE] Nope. Their current system can already handle up to 255 backpack slots, so adding a few more pages would be trivial. items also take up almost no space in steam cloud.

Why cant you have an infinite backpack ?

[QUOTE=FireSlash;21409643] items also take up almost no space in steam cloud.[/QUOTE] yea, it's just a couple of words for one item

[QUOTE=AlfieGroove;21409960]yea, it's just a couple of words for one item[/QUOTE] Not even that, it's 3 numbers as far as I know - The item number, X coordinates, and Y coordinates for the backpack location.

Didn't expect so many to be against more space. IMO it's a good idea.

Aye, ya can never have enough space. The more space you have, the more guns and hats you can carry and own.

Considering I still don't have any fucking hats, I fail to see the problem.

[QUOTE=Shibbey;21411194]I'm attempting to imagine the electricity bill.[/QUOTE] 10$ higher OH NOES!! FYI a 500w PSU doesn't actually consume 500w every hour of it being on.

I think it's a good idea.
