Nice to know that the story about "the size of the backpack was hardcoded into the game" was just a fabrication. I don't know why it took them this long of us asking for them to actually update it, though.
Sweet! Free bag slots for something I was already doing...I'll take it.
I like the incentive for added account security. I'm sure it'll make customer services' jobs that much smoother lol
Authenticator is a must these days. My brothers accounts have been hacked twice. No reason not to have one with the awesome apps available, sms protect, watch app, etc.
I wonder what happens if you detach your authenticator, while having items in your expanded bag slots. Probably just gets sent to your mailbox?A whole new way to save space! Keep reattaching the authenticator to your account to slowly put all of your BoP items to the mailbox.
Would love to see more bag space, who wouldn't?
I wish they'd go ahead and tell us how much they're giving us, so we can go ahead and get over being disappointed that it's not as much as we would like.
I always thought they would never budge on expanding the original bag slots because it meant so much for the teams who played with them from the beginning. But I'm suuuuper glad they're doing it. Pretty much any reason to expand bag space is good. I just downloaded the Blizzard Authenticator app today. Feel a little safer having it there now!
A long time coming.
A few people have mentioned that using the authendicator for this is bad, but I disagree. The only people who can't use it are people without a smartphone. For those, it sucks that they have to shell out more money to be able to have increased bag space. For anyone else, increase security and in game content. I see it as a win-win. Especially since the one-button update. It has made it so much more convenient to use as well!I do wonder what size this increase will be. If it will just be an additional for spots of if they'll go all the way to 32 slot.
Finally it pays off, even though I've never been hacked
I have had my authenticator since 2009, physical version, Is it easy to transfer to the mobile version and should I?
That is what we've been waiting for for years, finally
I am so thrilled that this is going to be a thing! I am constantly running out of bag space. I've had an authenticator attached to my account for years already, so I'm all set. I am curious as to how many extra slots it will end up being though. Hopefully, it'll be at least like double. :D
Do we get to keep the current pet you get from having authenticator?
Finally
Really nice bonus to something all should allready be using imo :)
Might not have to send bags over to alts from level 1 anymore!
respect for all the fellow windows phone users. we got screwed yet another time.
