===>> PLEASE DONT RESIZE THE CURRENCY STASH TAB

+1
The new layout looks like it was designed by a dyslexic :/
I don't like it either, sorry. And if nothing else you could switch the chance and aug slots. I chanced something by accident. Suppose I should be glad you didn't put the exalt there!
Censored.
I'd like to upvote this.

Making the currency stash tab smaller isn't much of a problem in my opinion. The real issue is having a different scale between the currency stash and the rest of the game.
Anyone can be a fast learner if you are patient enough to teach them.

i saw someone mention an idea of having larger slots again but putting like a count of how many shards to next orb in the bottom corner of the orbs slot.

sounded like a pretty good idea, that could mean more room for more slots in the future while being able to increase the size again for us that are struggling with the new size

just a thought


Or just make the shard boxes smaller. How often do players really need to recognize them or take something out of them? They're just there.

Or at the very least keep the most frequently used currency boxes large. That includes the augment/chance boxes. I have to wonder if GGG thought this would be a handy currency sink, to make all those players accidentally use their chance orbs? ;)

I don't think that is really it.
According to my pixel measurements the slots in the new ct are about 86% the width and height of slots in any normal tab. The area of a slot is therefore about 75% of the area of a normal one. Slots in the ct have pretty bevels further reducing the display area of the currency contained (I'd argue this to be wasteful if area is constrained).

All the slots (including the crafting station) currently make up about 63% of the raw area of the tab.
Resizing them to full slots would make them occupy 83%.

Now granted, you might not be able to arrange them that neatly if they use 83% of all the space available - but it could be done.

Of course this comes down to a matter of taste. I bought my ct so I'd have only one stack of e.g. alterations, not for it to look especially nice - so that's where I come from.

oh, i thought they simply changed the underlying tab type to the one of the quad tab and applied a different cash tab mask.

Yes! That one seems entirely reasonable. The shards already auto-combine so GGG acknowledges it's worthwhile to just not even touch them as you collect them to combine into the actually useful item.

I can maybe see an argument for keeping them larger if you want finer choice in trading materials, but if I had to choose between making the full orbs larger and easier to see and having everything be larger but the layout is more messy, I'd take the full orbs larger and easier to use at the "expense" of the shards just being shrunk down.

Absolutely yes, upvoting.

GGG wanted to pack more currencies into the window but now I feel like I need to buy a 2560 x 1440 monitor to see the currencies.

They are absolutely too small, and I'd like to have them brought back to the previous scale of 1:1 with the inventory size. It's such a pain to look at them in the currency tab, no fun at all.

You can pack the slots closer together, but don't reduce the size!

Also, the "this is not what I ordered" argument seems at least a bit valid here, since the tab was much better when I originally purchased it.
