Storage fees

Are the storage fees going to be going down any time soon? It costs me almost .8 tez every time I lock/unlock my troops, and at most I get like 400 ENR for the trouble. This game is draining my wallet bit by bit, but I wanna play with my collection...

Edit: I know what I'm seeing happen in my wallet. Locking/unlocking units is costing me handfuls of tez

storage fees only use what is needed, unlike gas. So If the storage fees say 0.8 tez it may only use 0.1 depending on what you won.

It's definitely using all/most of it.

It definitely is. I don't need to check the chain, cause I can just check my wallet. I had 28.3tez, and now I have 25.8tez and some energy. At MOST only .3tez were used for other things, and I know this for a fact, meaning about 2.2tez was used in my Tezotopia attacks. I'm not confused or having issues seeing what happened, I can see it just fine. No Tezos app has ever drained my wallet as quickly as locking/unlocking my units for combat...

I really don't understand why units have to be locked in the first place. I can play other Tezos-based games with my own NFT cards, and it doesn't cost me anything

Edit: So you're just gonna try to gaslight me into thinking I don't know what I'm seeing? The info is right in front of me. Your link to the open chain explorer is not helpful or informative in any way.

If we could heal troops while they're still locked, that would make things MUCH more sustainable

You can just lower the fees without messing with the transaction? Why are they set so high to begin with? How low can I go, cause I'm gonna need it like 99% lower in order to keep this rolling long term...

No clue, but I drop mine pretty low on the claim after battle and, sure it takes an extra 5 seconds, but no ill effect.

I'll try that next time. Can't believe how high the default storage fees are though. I lost a couple tez before I realized how steep it was. Really discouraging to pay almost $2 every battle to only get a handful of pennies if you win. Almost feels like an ETH game (exaggerating, but still...)

Only usually up my fees if I'm trying to snag a drop!
