Checking the storage box is one of the things people do most often in towns, so would it not be great if ANET could put a hotkey for the storage similar to F9 to see all inventory. e.g press F10 open storage box

shing jea monastery annoys me, it isn't too far but just annoying. Kaineng isn't great too. Actually, most of factions xunlai agents are evasive, seeming it's where they come from they should show it a little. In Nightfall it gets better.

Edit: Nope, i'm just lazy

I'd take it a step further, and ask for a menu of all functional NPC's. That way, you enter the city, click the menu and your toon runs where it needs to go, without searching Vasburg Armory (what were they thinking?) or wherever.

If we get this, then whats the points of having the agents there in the towns?

It's almost like no one reads stickies or uses search.

This is a clone thread, and I've seen 2 brand new ones in the last 3 days.

I actually thought this was the same thread.....they were that similarly named.

And there are even 10 mods online, so, hm....makes ya wonder..

Most Definately Needed! Anyone wanna think about how much of our lives some of us have wasted running to and from storage?

gee...lets take away the town all together.

just make a text lobby with a list of players and tabs for each function.

If this is taken away, the Rice Cakes (or whatever they sell in Cantha to make you go faster in-town), will be useless =(
Then I also agree with Xenex, if there's a hotkey, why the agents?

Im a bit confused.

You want to access storage anywhere, at any point in the game by pressing a hotkey?

Or you want a hotkey to access storage when in a town/camp/city?

Neither are a good idea and a bit pointless. They both remove the point of having a banker in towns. Whats the point of having an NPC banker in a town if your not going to actually walk up to her and speak to her?

How would that be a banking service anymore? It would basically be an invisible extra bag that you just carry around with you that you can access at any time.

Its not as if its a huge walk to find one, or a staggering effort to talk to her. It takes maybe a few seconds.

Even if they had a hotkey, that you could press when next to the banker to speak to her and activate your storage, that would be the height of lazeyness.

Why do you need such fast access to your storage anyway? just put stuff into your bag and carry it if you plan to sell fast.

Exactly my sentiments.

Hmm... a weird question there... seems to imply that farming, questing, going to the merchant, chatting, trading, heck even playing GW, is not really time wasting.

Sorry I know im posting again, but I hadnt noticed this post before.

Why are you playing an RPG MMO if you dont want to be moving back and forth between locations and you dont want to have to keep speaking to NPCs to access stuff?

They are fundimental parts of an RPG and an MMO. The storage/bankers (been while since played, cant remember names) are part of the fundimental world and feel of GWs. The need to speak to a banker or a storage keeper to access stuff in "storage" is key to that.

If you dont like moving around and doing repetative actions and activities, Im confused why your playing a game like GWs. Most quests are "go to this location and speak to..." or "collect this many of this item"!

The entire game is based around moving to and from points in the game over and over and over again.

Sorry I went off on a rant there.

great idea

Want to RP? Then don't use the hotkey. Want to RP? Then go outside in your robe and wizard hat and yell "lightning bolt! lightning bolt!" at the neighbor's dog.

Bit more on a different topic but somewhat the same.
Change the location of the storage in Gate of Torment.

/unsigned, just like the clone thread from a couple days ago

I can see moving the storage to an easier local, but not having a storage button, in addition to the fact that a button could be abused by people that know how to do that sort of thing....

It would make it easier if they had signs pointing to the elusive xunlai agents(vasburg and gate of torment) though

Its because people got VERY spoiled by the GW setup.

Guild Wars makes it so easy to swap builds etc, re-spec your char, change weapons and skills, that people forget that in most MMOs re-specing involves going to an NPC and PAYING a lot of money, or having to unlock things via quests just to do very minor things we do in GW.

Wanna change your secondary? Theres a hotkey.
Wanna load a new build, they are saved and you can swap from a Blood Necro to a Curse necro instantly.

------------------------

This isn't a FPS ffs.

If you ask me guild wars needs to remove ALL "non-essential" hotkeys from the PVE side of the game and leave them as NPC functions.

I want to interact with the guild wars world and the characters that live in it.

The less and less immersive it gets, the faster people get bored, imo.
