Hey, they plucked this solution directly out of my brain.

Wow... they didn't just say "thanks, we appreciate your input. Please continue with the feedbacks."

Unlike in Tetris, you can't rotate your gear by 90°. I never understood why. Is it too tough to implement? Or a way to make the game more challenging? In that case, I would prefer to play the real Tetris. That includes D2 where it's even worse.

Great idea. I hope potions will be stored similarly. I like that they are picked up automatically, but it sucks that they slowly accumulate in our inventory.

This is certainly how crafting mats should be handled. In all games.

Coming to Diablo 3 in 2017!

Forgive me if I'm skeptical about anything promised after release, unless this is coming with the big arena update.

I used to think I missed inventory tetris until I gave PoE a few tries. No thanks.

On topic, a crafting mat specific storage like gw2's would be awesome, especially with all the new legendary mats. One of my favorite things about that game was not having to worry ever about lugging craftings mats from bank to crafting station and back again, and being able to directly deposit all my gathered materials into the bank from anywhere in the world. No shame in copying a quality system!

It's because it isn't anything like Tetris in any way whatsoever. That isn't the metaphor you're looking for. The blocks in Tetris disappear from time to time, among other incongruities between the two. Klotski is the name of the game you're looking for. Klotski. Being able to rotate Klotski blocks would really destroy the entire purpose of that game.

I'm not looking for a Tetris-like game which doesn't allow rotations, of course. My point was that I see no logical reason why you cannot rotate gear by 90° in the inventory or stash. Mentioning Tetris was just making a bit fun of the issue.

BTW, I don't see much of a problem in D3. The inventory and stash are big enough to avoid too much of waste of space.
