To date, there are 5 unique headgear items; enough to fill the entire belt pouch.

Not to mention, due to armor specialization, most people have at least two full sets of armor, plus multiple helmets for specialized builds. I would hazard a guess that there are bags and bags filled with nothing but spare armor and helmets on most accounts.

If we're not going to get more generalized storage space, at LEAST give us some space for some of the more bulky, space-consuming, non-stacking items. Armor and helms is a good place to start.

There are seven unique headgear items, but yeah get the point.

there are more post for storage increase then anything else yet we still do not get what we ask for. We got white dye, but not more storage. the materials storage was a nice add on. And Anet we are thankful for it. But
we could use more storage as some people have more then 4 chars. As many as 13 I have seen. The original amount of storage worked fine when we only had the 4 original slots. but as you have increased our character slots you have not increased our character storage (with the exception of materials).



thank you

Adding another tab to the storage would be nice, have the same number of slots as general storage but have it for just that character. I would use it for armor but it could be used to whatever. My monk has four sets of armor all of which I use, and the weapons that go with it so it would be nice to have somewhere to put it.

I don't really like the idea of making a specialized area for armor on general storage - there will be too many combinations and possibilities. And if they just add a blank ten slots into general storage, that won't do much in the grand scheme.

They could increase individual storage total, which would alleviate it. Another thought I'd had was, if when a weapon was in one of your preset slots, it didn't take up space in your inventory. So there would be whatever was in your hands, and then 3-6 other weapon/offhand/staves that weren't in your inventory. Once you took the item out of all presets (since it could be in more than one) it reappeared in your inventory. They could do the same thing for armor, by giving armor presets. I know I'd find armor presets highly useful in and of themselves, plus it would pull a lot of stuff out of inventory.

But in my idea, I'd be thinking rather of extra equipment bag for the armors.
Just alike belt.
You'd be able to change the amor depending on the needs - as they occur frequently.

/signed for more storage in general, not for specific stuff.

it was bad enough when i had to carry around my extra armor/headgear/specialized weapons for just myself...but now, with nf, i have to carry it for a plethora of heroes too. halfway through just about any quest, i find my inventory is full and i have to leave lots of loot where it lay.

anet honestly should do something about this. people who own all 3 chapters have an awful lot of stuff to carry around. a storage vault upgrade of some sort is in order, imo, as well as perhaps a slot for an extra bag. or perhaps bags for heroes?

/signet but i thougt of one of my stupid ideas here it comes

why not make al 5 armor in 1 slot when u klick no the slot of your armor you can choose witch part of the armor you want to wear like i got full glad on now i am need my stoneskin gountlets just klick on the knicht sets (becouse it has a knicht skin) and than sellect stone skin gountlets in this way you only have to have like 3-4 slots for all of your armor on 1 character

again its just a crazy idea but maby it inspires some 1 to get a better idea than mines hoping some 1 would but i just had to post this kind of a obsession

The storage situation is just dumb. Anet has been given oodles of good suggestions for this since the dawn of the game. 4 Extra Characters and countless heroes rub salt in a this quickly rotting wound.

Currently, on my Elementalist, I've got
Pyromancer 15k
Hydromancer 15k
Geomancer 15k
Aeromancer 15k
Elite Sunspear
Ancient
Obsidian

Doing the math that comes out to 28 peices of armor, ignoring the headpeices. Even a form of armor compression would be nice. Having the full set, you can "pack it up" into a box, and have it take up one inventory spot. It's not just for looks, either, because each one has its own bonus/insignia and runeset, for unique builds. Yes, I run 7 builds on my Elementalist alone. ArenaNet continues adding to the armor sets, but nowhere left to put them!

This gets a /signed from me.

Well, as for me, I'd vote for:

1) separate "Storage Space" for armors. So that the pieces of armor would not lie among other "sellable" items.
2) Sets of armor - just alike the "weapon" hack. F1-F4 as example in weapons issue. Player has got up to 8 "sets" available, defines itself the configuration. Then, in simple way - can change the armor in seconds.

i have every armor in Guild Wars, Factions, and Nightfall for my Necromancer, I cant store it all in storage or on my character so i store it on 2 characters i never play. I concur with this idea, and i have posted it before, yet i was told by a site admin of some sort "read the damn stickies" but anyways.

PLZ GO 2 THE TOILET AND DO YOUR BEST.

1) Learn how to use search function on the forum. Then, You would be astonished, that the "bag" tricks does not work properly.
2) Keep the deep minds of other games wide shut. Noone compares in the subject GW and WoW. And the comments, keep for Your dad and pigeons.
3) IF You do not have arguments, but just whims of 16 years old kid, share Your genuine ideas at school. This place is for a serious proposals, accorded by good arguments, not alike "no because no".

I like the idea of armor storage itself, not sure about a need for other customized items though, I mean, if there is an Armor Storage system created somehow, there will be plenty more space freed up.

I think limiting the Armor Storage to say somewhere between 20-40 slots is fair, allows players the ability to spare some space in their inventory for weapons and drops. I know if I go a solo I'm out of space for drops as I only have 20 slots left open, and i have to decide on what is better for me to take and merch. Weapons wise, while I do both PvE and PvP, I have various types of weapons on all characters. You might ask why, my answer is...So I Can Win!

Also with every new expansion comes very nice looking armor, and while I don't currently hoard every armor style there is, I wouldn't mind picking up maybe 3 sets of 15k equivalent armor. Some of you may call this vain, but these new armor types are introduced for a reason, that reason being for people to create a "uniqueness" for their characters. Its called personality.

Keep it simple, keep it small, it won't get abused, and it gives no reason for anyone to flame the idea.

I don't like the idea of extra on your person storage, just for the fact that you've already got a backpack, 2 bags and one pouch, even though it's not graphical, I think it's a good limit where it's at. Can you imagine actaully carrying around 40 big fricken hammers/swords/axes? and you want to add to that?

I think it's a much deserved patch, due to Anet not really contemplating how much a person could actually justifiably need, even just as far as Prophecies is concerned. Expansions are another reason, more player options, more required gear, more loot, more collector items.


Add "pages" to storage like the materals have now.
Generic-(Currently)
Materials-(Currently)
Armor-
Headgear-
Key/Dye

Simple, relatively easy to program in as it's already been done once.

Make each of the new pages cost 15k. To further that, Make any new storage adjustments per character, except key/dye maybe.

This game is all about status, that's why there's a market for black dye, and anything related to titles. Why else would 15k, FoW, and the rest be no different than normal armor, and so darned hard to get?

I don't get you sharks/trolls in a topic like this. It's a clear and concise, useful patch. I don't see any reason for people to not sign other than to flame and be generally disagreeable, atleast by what's posted here so far.

The only semi valid argument is that carry it, you have the room(aside from the fact that some people collect the armor) To most of you reading on won't be necessary, some people still don't get it about how people could use all that room..
Some combinations of the 2 classes can be VERY flexible. My N/Mo has 3 different builds so far, and I'm working on obtaining 1 elite that will require a whole new set of armor.
That's 4 sets. One build is 55. Every good 55 know's that if you die, you have to change out some armor and offhands(if you solo or the team has the right rez skills) to get your Hp above 1pt. So, in effect a 55 can have 2-3 sets for the 1 build.
Do the math on armor alone, not to mention weaponry for each build, keys, mission items, and you're getting to have very little room for loot.

And to further that, your secondary class is changable, which increases build options and needs.

Using a different character is what alot of people do, but we do it grudgingly, because shuffling that all around is alot of work, not to mention an actual hinderance if a party is waiting on you. Gets to be more troublesome when you have valuable loot you have yet to sell that's in storage too.

Xunlai Storage Expands

The Xunlai Agents have exciting news! They plan to grant everyone additional storage. Veteran travelers who venture into every corner of the world will receive the greatest rewards, however, because storage capacity will increase with each region—Tyria, Cantha, and Elona—that you frequent. Thus, even if you spend all of your time in a single area, your storage will increase, giving you an additional vault from that region to add to your original storage box. If you are a world traveler like me, and if you journey through all three realms, your storage will quadruple, for you will receive three additional vaults to add to your Xunlai box.

Xunlai storage specialists have listened to the complaints from travelers that storage chests are simply too small to hold treasures from all over the world. After numerous journeys across three distinct lands, replete with noteworthy and valuable items, some adventurers have been forced to discard items they would have preferred to keep, simply because they did not have sufficient storage space. Their entreaties have been heard and responded to.

Truly you must agree that this is remarkable news indeed! We will likely hear an audible sigh of relief from packrats, treasure collectors, and traders the world over. Be sure to check your storage vault in the next few days for this magnanimous gift, and join me in extending a word of thanks to the worthy Xunlai Agents.

I think it would be an extra storage tab per campaign, so if you have all campaigns, you'll get 4 tabs, that is, 80 slots.

Enough to save all armors of one class, not for all your characters, though.
