April Update Anticipation thread
Sir Skullcrasher
I think this thursday (9th) will be the update for prediction points and new tonic of the month. The big one probably will hit sometime after that. Unless A-Net put both updates together into one this coming thursday!
Hopefully I can hold out a bit more to have the storage upgrade. Almost ran out of room!! (Blast you sweets and drinks)!!

Account wide display of HOM - I would really love to see a 'check' system like when you display a title on your character, so you could 'check' the 5 titles you want displayed in your honor monument, 'check' the heroes you want displayed etc. It sucks that you have no control over it and can only randomly cycle through until you get something that's ok. I don't want them to make any more titles account wide - for titles like skill hunter etc. it's already too easy with tomes to get the best elites and such on your level 1 character, it shouldn't be automatic. Plus that'll render tomes useless, and I enjoy making money selling them. Other titles like sweets etc. should stay character based even though they'll display account wide in the hom, because they're money sink titles and if someone wants to get it on more than 1 character they should have to pay for it. I could see an increase in the money cap, both for storage and for an individual trade, although I don't think they'll do this. I'd like another tab added to xunlai to hold dyes, runes, insignias, and tomes. These things are always the same unlike weapon mods (a rune of sup vigor is always +50, a survivor insignia is always the same, while a sword fortitude could be +25 or +28 or anything) I could see the use in some kind of pouch to hold the 'written evidence' books like the hero's handbook, shiro's return etc. so it would take up 1 slot in inventory instead of 1 for each book you're holding. Although I tend to hold no more than 2 books anyway, I could see how it would be annoying. I'd love to have another cross game scavenger hunt like black moa or mox, that rewards people for putting all the games on 1 account. That means the normal people who have their own personal account could make some cash, while the people who have 20 copies of 1 game for xunlai rewards and free zkeys don't get the free cash for it. |
An easy method of adding more storage would be to make runes/weapon mods/insignias of the same type and value stackable. I am still perplexed as to why this hasn't happened.

I hate seeing "1/141" on my characters, but I sure as hell am not going to go capture them all over again with each character. I don't see how this upsets the balance at all. If you want an elite, you still need to capture it or use a tome with that character.

as a god walking i dont want/expect them to make titles easier....such as making drunkard easier to get where you do not have to wait 10,000 minutes.....also
i expect that there will be another storage tab for armor that is speciallized for each character.... dont expect much because anet said they didnt have the server space but magically found some space to do it so maybe room for 3 sets or so for each char or maybe a whole page of storage for 10 armor sets or 8 since the char cap is 8....and if you buy another slot you get another page of armor storage....{4-5 slots}
a money cap increase possibly to 5 mil 10mil is to much....i personally dont go over 500k and if i do i spend it or buy ecto with it as a alternate curency
as for character storage i expect maybe a better way to store weapon sets such as instead of having to keep your weapons in your bag you actually store them on a weapon set.
another thing that would be nice but would never happen..... dye/tome storage and mini pet storage...highly doubt this but one can wish
as for content updates.....who cares about some scavenger hunt that some1 can run how about a new elite zone
like melandrus lair which is like urgoz but totally different
or lyssa's [insert something cool here] which is like a chaos zone that is all purple or ecto-ey like pink
give each of these elite zones something special at the end like maybe new armor from melandrus lair that requires weird materials that no one ever uses...implement new rare materials just for this armor have 1 drop in melandrus and one in lyssa
lyssas zone could have something super cool like ecto weapons as an ecto sink or whatever its called have ecto weapons cost like 150 ecto 100 onyx and 100 diamonds it will raise the price of these weak materials....although it will make some people rich it will also fix the market which is unstable due to overfarming.....in the long run although overfarming is inevitable so it would just be a temp fix unless new rare materials were implemented that could hold value like ecto
thats all i have k bye

A new thought:
I'd really really like if the storage update wasn't just straight away log in and get all, but to have *some* of the storage improvements require some action, working as a reward for something, or a new semi-rare drop somewhere or a sink for something overabundant.
It could be like:
~50% of new extra storage - free or almost free, immediate relief and free space to
~20% of new extra storage - buyable/craftable (sink for something, new drops for collectors of something)
~20% of new extra storage - rewarded for new quest chain or accomplishing something new, may require all campagins.
~Last 10% of new extra storage - long-term content, something to do for a longer period of time, could be connected to new actual rare drops which have to be found and not just bought, could be connected to a 'revived' piece of content (Tombs?), this last ~10% could be attainable gradually.

Or is it the fact that your GWAMM title wouldn't be as "totally awesome" if they updated and changed the titles? -_- |

she said no "gwen-chan" tonic because people were fawning over the april fool's day switch and wanted a permanent tonic for that. Saying something specific to counter a specific comment doesn't "leave the door open" for anything similar that wasn't being discussed to begin with.
The expanded storage I think is HOM ability to store armors and a couple more tabs in the Xunlai Chest, nothing more. MAYBE a pvp-esque armor storage type thing where you just "unlock" different skins by buying them. I really hope, if this is the case, that they use what's in the HOM as well as inventory to determine what's "unlocked" because I salvaged 3 or 4 armor sets on my main character alone to make space...I wouldn't mind having those armors back. I won't complain if it doesn't happen like that though...I'd just be happy to clear up 35 inventory slots on my warrior alone, not to mention all my other chars with 2+ sets each.
Dervish Kid
storage space for tomes..higher stack increase in storage. dye page in storage. ability to stack inscriptions,insignias,weapon mods, ect. when in inventory or in storage.

Maybe the Eye of the North displays a "Vision of GW2" on Guild Wars 4th birthday... as part of the "April Update".
Red Sonya
Man where's the update I'm ready for the gnawing and gnashing of teeth and the QQ threads and all that great stuff we get everytime there is a new nerf....I mean update to skills and stuff. 
Khazad Guard
I'm really mostly interested in the HoM account wide thing. Hopefully they make the organisation better (here's two suggestions I made in a previous HoM thread):
If they do that, I would love them! Best not to have false hopes though...
Possibilities
Book Pouch
-Takes one inventory slot; holds one of each book (multiple books need to be kept normally to prevent people having like a gajillion of the same books)
Dye Case
-Takes one inventory slot; holds 250 of each dye.
Possibilities that are improbable
-Make runes stackable -.-
Possibilities that are impossible
These ones are "special". Purchase from Xunlai Agent, costs like 100g/day for each piece of armor/minipet you put in. Give us what we want but make us pay dearly!
Armor Closet
-Xunlai slot; holds as many pieces of armor as you want. Only accessible in towns (obviously)
Minipet Sanctuary
-Xunlai slot; holds as many minipets as you want. Only accessible in towns (obviously)

WOW i'm lovin these ideas but i can't help think im gunna be disaapointed then 
Then again its an update it can only mean better. Problem is, not many people collect dye in stacks ...i know i do but most people don't.
The book idea is what i was thinking aswell, gives you no excuse not to carry a book around with you in a mission really.
I always thought the Xunlai storage agent only offering a materials upgrade looked like one of those unfinished features as it were.

And what does the system do when you can't afford to pay the fees anymore, maybe you became inactive and or decide to quit for a few month. Does it delete your armor/minipets when u cant pay anymore?
BenjZee
A daily fee wouldn't work out because some peopel don't play every day and also its rare especially in my case to have any kind of money
TideSwayer
It would be nice if the Shiro's Return books gave you more faction on your titles than they currently do. Pretty worthless in their current state IMO. I don't mind VQ'ing for the faction, but with Amatz (and challenge missions overall 'out of play' once again for viable faction gain), I'd like another option than just VQ'ing. Aspenwood and Jade Quarry are nice, but you have to contend with leechers and often looooooooooooooong wait times just to get into one round, which can make it not worth it (for faction gains). Alliance Battles aren't as good as VQ'ing or JQ/FA either, in terms of faction gain.
Buff the book rewards please. 40k for a NM book onto my title? I can get more than that by doing a 15-20 minute VQ. 120k for a HM book onto my title? For the time spent to fill the damn thing, I can still get more by VQ'ing.

Considering tomorrow will be the most significant update since the introduction of EOTN, I am kind of disappointed at the level of excitement and anticipation.
We have the 4th year birthday, holiday drops, XTH rewards and new tonic, and yeah the first and probably the largest quarterly update we will get before GW2 is due out this WEEK.
Lets get some excitement going!!

There isn't much information known at the moment but we know it should be in april and on the 27 of march, Linsey mentioned on her wikipage that the update was only a month away. Making many people believe that the update comes on GuildWars' 4th birthday... 28th of april.
I believe I also read somewhere that they are going to announce the update before it goes live. Like what you can expect and such... Wouldn't suprise me if this was at least a week ahead of the actual update.

Tomorrow will be the tonic + points update. 90% sure it won't be the big update since Linsey said in her journal:
Friday, March 27th 2009
The (still to be named) April content update is only around a month away.

I highly doubt the update will be tomorrow. It'd be easier for them to wait another week, or even to the 28th, and do one massive update with Storage, Birthday Presents/Cupcakes, skill balance (you just know they're going to sneak those in there), etc, then a few smaller updates afterward to fix bugs/crash problems and such.
We'll be seeing an update this weekend most likely, but for the Easter event, the last Tonic, and XTH rewards. I'm betting the main update probably won't be until the end of the month, but I'd love to be proven wrong.

super strokey
I feel bad for all the people that expect it tomorrow and anything decent at all. It will be way smaller than we expect/want, not cover what we expect/want, not bring anyone back the game, no new content. Essentially i think people need to hop off the hype train and remain grounded in reality.
