Easy way for Bungie to fix Vault issues (Destiny)

1. Expand the vault to 4x its size. Just make 4 tabs to cycle through.

Yes to bigger but cycling through tabs is an unnecessary task. (see my reply to point 3)

2. The vault can be accessed from orbit or in the tower by tabbing over between inventory and settings screens. It cannot be accessed outside of these places.

I could live with it only being accessible in non-combat areas.

Though, given that you can already have ten of each type of item to choose between in combat areas... I don't think that there is much strategy left in loadout selections, especially given the known nature of all encounters. In the strike playlist you can be selecting your loadout whilst dinklebot narrates.

There is no NEED for vault access in combat areas but I'm fairly laissez faire about these things. If there is no strong need to stop a consenting adult from doing something then I'm inclined to let them do it.

Maybe this would me more of an issue to PvP players. Would it be a problem for you if anyone could pick between all their weapons? I'm not suggesting that the current character page be removed. I'm just suggesting that vaults could be accessible anywhere.

3. On the vault page, you can open the inventories of other characters, and move those items to your vault.

Ez Pz.

Have a quick gander at this.

I was initially thinking, "how do you make it easier to find stuff that other characters hold?" But then I thought, "who cares who is holding it? I just want to see the stuff"

If you filter by gear category then the middle grid shouldn't get too big. I took two 1080p images of a character page and an inventory page and copied a 5x3 grid from the inventory image and pasted it over the character screen.

You can fit a 7x7 grid without scrolling into the middle but I think that a 6x7 grid would be less cramped. That's room for 42 primaries or specials or whatever before you even need to scroll. I suspect that a 6x10 grid would not be too cumbersome to scroll. 60 helmets, 60 gloves, space ships, etc.

If you want to filter out armour that the current character can't wear then you would have room for 60 Hunter helmets and not need to worry about the 57 Warlock and 30 Titan helmets you own ;-)

And remember, if items stay in the grid when selected then you get to know where in the grid they live so they are easier to find (they don't shuffle around as you equip and un-equip items).
