Can we please do something about the stupid arbitrary system the post master has for deleting items, especially with the, again, arbitrary caps on materials? I was doing patrols on titan and contact for solstice bounties on my warlock. After I finished I went to the post master and discovered I had lost 37 shards, 3 golfballs, a 63 base stat controverse hold, and an exotic engram, all because the post master decided to delete it all to replace it with blues and umbral engrams! You get at least 1-2 umbrals per contact, which fills up your post faster than anything. I've NEVER had a post master space issue until umbrals started dropping and they drop like -blam!-ing candy. Gee, thanks game!
Now, you might say this is my fault for having it in post, and in the case of the exotic armor you'd be right, I could have moved that to my vault but that is currently full. I can't move the shards or golf balls because surprise, surprise, they are capped because of some dumb limit. And I'm saving the exotic engrams for next season since I have every exotic.
TLDR: Please do something about the post master just randomly deleting stuff to make way for blues that nobody wants. Make an algorith, why would you replace an exotic with a damn blue? Fix this nonsense or get rid of the cap on materials.

For everyone saying the postmaster is not a vault , you are correct. Then their should be no limit on any material being held, and should be able to be put into your vault. Shards and prisms should not be capped, and should be able to be put into the vault.
-
So any armor, that's on you. But , having limits on materials you are able to hold is on bungie. Why should you only be able to hold 10 shards , or 50 prisms. How does the amount of shards or prisms effect the game.

1 ReplyI don't know why items can't just get pushed into the vault. If you use your app to transfer a piece if gear and you didn't have room for it... one random piece is pushed into the vault. It couldn't be that difficult to code the same action for the post master, could it?
-
Or clean up your post. Ya sloppy junior. Clean your room.

The only thing the postmaster needs is a space warning no matter where you are in the system. Blues just need an autodismantle option or simply not go to the postmaster (whichever is easiest to code).

Should’ve gone through it beforehand

You started Contact with 7 engrams, knowing that Contact drops a lot of engrams. Where did you expect them to go?
-
3 RepliesSame thing yesterday bro. 5 shards and 50 prisms...gone. For -blam!-ing 2 mats and a blue. GTFOH
-
5 RepliesThe postmaster didn't "decide" to delete them. You decided not to check your postmaster and manage your inventory, and you pushed the items out. That's your fault, not the postmaster.
-
11 RepliesYour postmaster is NOT storage.

4 RepliesIt's ok to leave feedback about the postmaster, but you got to adapt. You had 10 engrams already and went to get more, so you had 14 not able to be picked up? You're basically asking to have your stuff deleted. Keep spots open in your inventory, guardian slots, shaders. This has been a thing for years, don't use the postmaster as storage.
-
Clear out 3 spots for each slot. After activities, delete Items and repeat.

Pro gamer tip: Clear out your post master.

Postmaster is not a personal vault.

3 RepliesHold up U left golf balls...the rarest and most difficult to get material in the game...:in ur postmaster This has exceeded a bruh moment and went straight to what the -blam!-
-
Maybe it should overfill legendary and Exotics and full stacks of materials to the vault

1 ReplyBlues just need to auto dismantle.
-
I can count on one hand the amount of times I've lost something in the post master, in 6 years.
-
3 RepliesYou know what is easier then writing this post??????? Run activities with at least three empty spaces on each slot. Problem solved. Nothing goes to post master! Six years in and you have not figured this out yet?!?!!??? It is a you problem. Not sorry you lost things that were not important enough to retrieve!
-
Postmaster Thanos snapped your gear out of existence... then he'll eat a sandwich afterwards.
-
Yeah this is more a you problem. If you care about your inventory in the postmaster, then you have come up with an algorithm to make trips to the tower and clean up your postmaster. Instead you are here asking for a solution so you can be more lazier about that.

4 RepliesEdited by Aborted Enigma: 8/12/2020 7:42:55 PMPeople not being able to manage their own inventor has got to go
-
2 Replies3 things: 1) data for the game, infinite storage for the postmaster would be a lot of wasted space for the game 2) allow us to implement selectable filters to decide what does and doesn’t go to the postmaster, auto sharding the items we don’t want. 3) Go get your items from the postmaster...

1 ReplyYeah give the postmaster unlimited space so I don't have to manage my inventory/vault!
