Will Anet finally upgrade the Storage? (Or will we just have no space for EON?)

What else can I say? I'm one of those envied wealthy players. LOL. I like my armors ascended and dyed expensively (although depending on the selected skin tone. Usually Afro-Carribbean or of some Nubian Ebony.) As long I earn it the fair way, and even help friends and guild-mates out when in need of some gold, then I can be and do what I want. Hey in person, I'm not vain, just good looking.

If a "certain" player has is 100k in storage or barely even 3k after buying 1 set of basic maxed armor from the Consolute Docks with barely any insignias to afford, I guess I can understand.

However, GW has a extremely huge population of player who market to do more than just fill up on 1000k just for the storage to look nice, pretty and full.

I kinda do have it all, but does that mean you think Anet is wasting their time making the new 40 armor sets for Eye of The North because everyone should be limited to just 2 sets of armor?

Ditto.

However, I don't see why they wouldn't make a "if you buy EotN, you get more storage" thing like they did with Factions.

"Assuming" what Exoudeous said has any validity to it, then they'll get money from EotN and be able to upgrade storage space for those who bought it. That's assuming ANet really is having issues with money and allocating memory on their servers.

I hope that wasn't an attempt to imply things which are not true. There is no shame in not being a sad case who farms all the time, I make money when I need it and have plenty of ascended armor *points to his own well dressed assassin* , I just think wealth of skill is greater than looks.

I heard the muling has becomea very glitchy process. For ex: I give my mule assassin my ranger armor cause I just can't fit anymore stuff. So after I decide to return the armor from my mule to the original owner, suddenly the ranger becomes incapable of wearing it.

I've been hearing odd complaints about the muling, which got be skeptic to even try buying a character slot for muling purposes.

Oh, I implied it. If you are happy with what you do, then what's so sad about it? With me, I don't need to exactly farm all day if I strategize wisely which would allow me to actually "prove" I got the ascended armors to show it.

If storage is THAT much of an issue for you and you don't want to utilize heros in that way, then don't complain about it.
What if we do not want to store weapons and offhands but runes, materials, holiday items and the like?

Ascended armors don't "prove" anthing, only that you happened to have the money for, it is no proof of skill or how you earnt that money.

On the issue of storage, I'd like to see an extra storage section for weapons, or misc holiday/quest/ usless items. at least it would be a bit more organised.

Ascended armor can indicate that the player just likes to be a bit high maintainence, which there's nothing wrong about it. However, it has slightly become a symbol of envied accomplishments, usually by those who keeps making the skill vs. looks comparision.

Not only does Anet needs storage for the regular armor pieces, but for those darn festivities. Then again, you kinda do have a storage for the hats. Just a weird deposit and/or withdrawl for 10g. Although, those fireworks, candycanes, tonics and such, geez.

Learn to manage your storage. Having many armour sets doesn't justify more storage space. You can't have everything so pick the most beautiful, most needed.

Maybe Anet should create: The GW Closet! Everyone in a guild gets some sort of personally huge closet (The Isles are huge enough), aside from the Xunlai (That's kinda like a bank account). And whenever that guildie either leavers or is booted a GW U Haul truck waits right for them in the nearest town. That or the Guildleader/officer could take that ex-members stuff and throw it into the streets of Kaineng as if someone dumped his/her fiance and through their crap right out the window.

LMAO!!! That would be the best. GW is kinda like a Fantasy Sims. I can see it now. "Get your **** and go!" A GW U-Haul truck awaits for me in Kamadan after I leave my guild.

It's really unbelievable that the most requested and needed feature isn't 'high on the list'. We know that because there are lots of other less important things that devs say will be done some time in the future, but not about storage. They didn't say they 'are working on it' or 'plan to do something about it', nothing like that.

And with every campagin, update or event bringing lots of new cool things to collect it's needed more and more. The incoming GW:EN expansion with loads of new armors and phat lo0t could be a perfect moment to release a major storage update, and even make it an additional reason for everyone to buy it.

There are so many ways to do such an update and just anything would be good, although something massive is really needed, now and for the future of the game.

Why shouldn't it be a justification? Would all those special event stuff justify? Would all the greens justify? Would all the collectibles justify? Just because you don't want to keep most of your stuff doesn't mean everyone shouldn't. If ever they increase storage, feel free to ignore the extra space and just let us use them.

Well, like I said before posts got deleted, Maybe they could add extra storage in the guild hall, as a service, that storage can only be accessed using the agent at you GH. (Just a quick idea)

In theory, looks and skill go hand in hand, if your skillful, you should have earnt that armor, but the other ways around hard work is what ruins that perfecr theory.

Back on topic: I think they should make it so you can access storage on the character select screen, and the invetories of your characters, this could make trading between your own characters easier, because instead of,

open character A > put item in storage > Close character A > Open character B > Take item out of storage.

It would be.

Open character select > Open Invetories for characters A and B > Move item from character A to B.

Slightly shorter, sorry if it's a bit hard to vision.

It's a story of escalation. No matter how much storage you have someone will always fill it up and ask for more. In the end people will be asking for a special portal that opens into another world or pocket dimension so you can pollute that realm with your garbage.

That is true, and there does have to be a limit to the amount you can store, but lots feel that the current limit is just to small.

The amount of storage we have now got designed over 2 years ago. Even during the first months since Prophecies release people were asking for more, because its too small.

It was barely enough for 1 chapter of stuff and that doesn't include the loads of stuff that got added to the game later, like Keys, Scrolls, Green items, Event items, Miniatures, and then 2 whole campagins with tons of armors and new cool skins, Nightfall gave us inscriptions (which take horrendous amounts of storage), also new gemstones, and last months brought us another 10+ kinds of event items. And even more good stuff is coming in GW:EN, but we don't hear about a storage update being in the works.

We have basically the same storage space as on Day 1, excluding the material storage addition, which i consider a minor update (although very useful) because it free'd only about 10-13 slots for me. Something must be done, and GW:EN is the last moment for it.

Sigh, its just human nature. No matter how much you have, you will want more. Even after material storage upgrade freed up about 14 slots on my characters that had held storage, people still came on the message boards within a week complaining about how it wasn't enough.

I aggree, more storage would be an excellent addition, once id take over many other things.

Collecting is a big part of the fun of gw, once you have completed the story lines, collecting, and title maxing, so more space to store things will always be helpful, especially with the implementation of hard mode, and GWEN, as we all know, with the new drops(new wep skins im assuming) more space would be handy for those of us that collect.

While I agree we need more storage, isn't this kind of a moot point now GW2 is coming?

Anything I can't "store" in the Hall of Monuments (depending on if I can store anything at all...), I'm planning on giving away.

There's a difference between "needing" things and "wanting" things. I have crap loads of stuff I don't really need, I'm just saving it in case I might need it.

i've played through all three chapters on my ranger, and i don't even have any bags on that character, only a belt pouch. i have no idea why you people need so much storage space. even my monk, with its fifteen gazilion shields does not need any additional storage space.

maybe it's not a problem of too little storage, but a problem with people collecting junk they don't need. anet giving more storage space won't solve the problem, because in a week people will be demanding even more space because they don't know how to manage their stuff.

Agreed. I want storage. I dont need it.

The old point i considered valid was that we needed storage for all various weapons in PvP. That point is moot now since pvp chars can fabricate weapons at will.

I have like a gazillion bows and i only really use 2. *shrug*

The point raised earlier stating that with the materials tab they only allowed it in factions so that people would buy it and then they would get the money back to implement it. Then why don't we have a special edition of GW:EN that includes a key that unlocks more storage. Obviously the special edition would include these kind of extras but would cost more money. I would buy it!

The fact of the matter is that more then 50% of players want more storage and i hope Anet understands this if they want to keep ppl playing here and buy expensions and thats the buttom line baby cause i said so.

They're only making 1 more expansion. After that; work begins on GW2 while we all go insane from lack of updates/bugfixes. When are you all going to get around to un-nerfing Spiritual Pain, anyway? My mesmer doesn't appreciate being useless (I play PvE mostly).

Actually, my mesmer isn't TOTALLY useless. Currently she's holding many collectable drops, weapon mods and dye. 11 PvE chars is a little excessive seeing as there's only 8 classes; 4 of them only being worth playing. If you really, really want storage, buy some character slots and dub them your official armor caddies.

More expansions can be added to GW1 and should be added.

Not all people will like GW2 and its silly to abandon it, its still a young game.
