April Update Anticipation thread
pumpkin pie
cosyfiep
gosh dang it guru logged me out while I was typing so I will do it again.
Lots of what people have already mentioned I really like.
Dye storage would really like it to be like the incubator (one slot instead of 10 and just what was the purpose of grey dye again??? with it being very similar to silver I just dont get why they cant put dye remover back in, or put in 'base' dye--so you can get the base color of your prof. eg mes green, ele blue).
key storage--a key ring, not everyone likes to fork out over 1 plat for a very easily breakable lockpick (yes I have worked on my titles to up the retention rate, but it still breaks them more often than my % shows).
armor storage on character....like the incubator again...so you can swap out ONE set of armor like your 55 set for the super health set.
a book bag, yes please please!
a belt pouch of my heroes...since they steal most of my gold and just about every green drop and then I STILL have to upgrade their armor and weapons!
For the Hom a click able option for what is shown is a great idea (can we have this for the character selection screen as well so I can put my characters in the order I want them and not chaos order???)
A statue for the titan quests- sorrows furnace got one why not titans?
however, I doubt much of what I anticipate will occur.
I see:
yes they update storage, you now get ONE extra slot and they get a rune of holding for your belt pouch.
Hom---uhm, we werent able to complete that in time for this update, so there wont be any update on that at this time
(due to guru logging me out I cant remember what else I typed
)

P.S. LOVE the keyring idea.
Also, I am big into Guild play (it is Guild Wars, right?). I think that guild-centric storage chests and/or item swap functions would enhance guild play.

I think that one of the things that they ought to do is turn at least the useless grind titles into account-wide. Sweet Tooth and Party Animal effectively do nothing in the game, so there's no reason why they can't be account-wide.
As an aside, I seriously doubt that Drunkard is going to a point system. ArenaNet nerfed the zone-trick to prevent you from getting all the drunk minutes right away, so it seems like they intentionally wanted to annoy all those title grinders as much as possible.

I don't care what others say. They're really fun toys!
Realistically, I predict we may get an expansion for storage. Armor tabs and the sort?

Well since the HoM requires 5 sets of 15k armour id like to see a place to put that per character now. Total waste of money to buy them and then have to delete them because you have no space on your characters. Make the last bag hold 5 sets of armour only, if they have to.
Also Id like to see anything that would let you carry those books you are now forced to drag around with you condensed. Seems all they have done lately is give us more things that take up storage instead of helping us put it anywhere.

See, the changes have to be beneficial to ALL.
An armor tab - in my opinion - would benefit a small fraction of the player base. I have only one set of armor, so the extra space for that would be wasted on me.
Maybe an upgrade option at the Xunlai Agent or at a crafter of bags/belts, that lets you purchase the storage enhancement you need, IF and when you need it. There could be buyable tabs for armor, dyes, books, etc. You could purchase a tab for the storage chest and/or for your character's personal inventory.
What do you all think? I think they would need to be moderately expensive, though. Maybe a plat for each new tab...

as for the topic at hand i expect a dubbleing of the storage in the chest and a place for the story books.
and then finally the having you hom go account based, if you want.
also some small thing that is completely not needed like summoning stones. (my hope is Anet fixes some clipping issues instead, sorry i am tired of seeing my cape cut me in half.)
Edit: also so they can cover the cost of storage seeing some way to pay for storage in the in game store that would give you about 45 slots each time you buy it. ie so you don't have to get a new toon.

aNet has implied that each and every thing placed in the HoM will have some positive effect on characters in GW2. So there is a mad rush to get as much "HoM-stuff" as possible now, and at any cost too. I would bet that the majority of dedicated armor and weapons are not used by the character they were intended for today.
That is the answer to that part of your post, Dr. Jones.

Grrrr...
"those who have stopped playing" should take their skepticism and apathy elsewhere!
Seriously folks! This is a forum for people who LIKE TO PLAY GUILD WARS!
Sheesh!
How about a materials tab on the person, with a low max stack size (say 15 - 25 of each item max)?
Or a wearable talisman, which imbues the wearer with certain attribute boosts? Similar to the offhand focus, but for non-casters...

Even more sad, the bow I'm using 24/7, and which I just like because of the look, can't even be added to the HoM
I just bought the weapons for the sake of completion, before even knowing the HoM was going to be accountwide. I could've used them on other toons, had I known. But hey, they are ugly anyways.
Still, HoM going accountwide will be something exciting.

That said, I would have no problem setting up a system where you pay for more storage. I don't see why having more for free would inconvenience anyone, but if we could make it a money sink I wouldn't complain.

The armor point I disagree with. For almost any profession, if it's your main, you can have an armor for each attribute and have your hall filled/almost filled. My main, an Assassin, has a Crit Strikes, Dagger, Deadly Arts, and Shadow Arts armor, plus one runed differently for utility. Sure, I use the Deadly Arts least, and the Shadow Arts is exclusively set up for farming, but they're all useful, at least sometimes. Not to mention, armor is one of the most fun things in the game to collect and swap in and out depending on what you're running/how you're feeling.
ON TOPIC: Anything will be fine with me. Armor is my biggest issue pretty much account wide. If I could get 5 armor sets per character stored elsewhere (ie not in an inventory or in Xunlai) my storage problems would essentially disappear.

More nerfs probably.

My hope? A nice, big, fat, shiny, red button titled, "Guild Wars 2 beta" on the character select or log in screen. For best effect, the background should be changed to GW 2 concept art, and a Guild Wars 2 title or logo should be in prominent display.
This update would be on April 1st, naturally. The massive outcry, outrage, whining, frustration, confusion, and general chaos would be highly amusing. Unfortunately, this would be an extremely bad marketing and business decision.

My hope is that they incorporate a unique armor storage system that allows you to designate a "set" of armor and put it in your storage as a single item. A bag for players to have that stores books and quest items would be nice as well.

I want:
1)SF nerfed
2)Survivor track to be reset when you die so if you get the experience in a streak at
any time you get the title. 2 years ago HOM didnt exist so didnt care about survivor title but i want it on my monk now and not just my new stupid chars that I dont care about. And a billion of gold into my monk's other titles means I aint gonna delete it to get survivor now.
3) Ability to change appearance of hom not randomized
4) Material storage to hold amounts greater than 250 would save me 1 or 2 entire accounts full of stacks of stuff
5) stackable weapon mods would save me maybe 4 accounts full of garbage
6) Show weapons in towns.
Minor wants:
gold storage inscrease
page in inventory for dyes. tomes, extra page for eotn

Expected updates:
Nice-to-haves/speculation:
Wishful thinking
I don't really expect any of the wishful thinking stuff to happen, though I'd be delighted if it did. I'd be a little surprised if there isn't something like the book box though - seeing as it was one of the first suggestions made to ANet when people complained about the additional space pressures caused by adding books to the campaigns in the title update last year, and it seems like such a logical way to solve the problem.
Speculation stuff...well, we know there's some form of storage update coming for the chest, but not what yet. So they're my guesses. For the character, I don't expect ANet will expand the number of storage slots in bags/pouch themselves - more that they will do something to relieve the pressure by adding more incubator-like things to store specific items in so you only use 1 slot rather than 5-17.
- A "book box" like the Incubator that has a specific slot for each of the books, so the character can carry them with them without taking lots of slots. Books in the box get filled in by the mission just as if they were in the person's normal inventory if the box is carried in the inventory with them.
Nice-to-haves/speculation:
- A dye tab in Xunlai chest to hold dyes (like the materials storage tab)
- A mini-pet storage tab in Xunlai chest to hold one of each mini-pet (like the materials storage tab)
Wishful thinking
- "Trophy" tabs in Xunlai chest - a series of tabs like the materials storage tabs to hold up to a stack of trophy drops from creatures like margonite masks, destroyer cores, icy lodestones, etc. Maybe broken down by campaign/expansion? Would make gathering things for CNY feast, to swap for collector weapons/armours, etc easier.
- A "Personal" tab in the Xunlai chest that has stuff for the current character only. The contents of this tab is NOT shared between characters on the account, with each char getting their own "personal" tab. Gives somewhere to store personalised weapons/armour for a character when not in use, and if you have 10 chars that's 10 tabs of personal storage - 1 for each char. Only the tab for the character opening the box is shown at any time, so it's only 1 additional "view" tab in the interface. That'd allow you to store up to 4 elite sets of armour per character (which fits with the "5 sets" for HoM), or several alternative weapon sets, or anything else that you feel "belongs" to a specific char and just needed somewhere to put it rather than to share it universally.
- A tab to store the quest reward items such as Monastery Credits, Imperial Commendations, Kournan Coins, etc.

The only things I kinda care for is the HoM and added storage...
Though I do hope (but it probably won't happen) that they make runes and inscriptions stackable. I have no clue why that didn't happen yet.

Unlike ecto or black dye, the availability of runes and insignias greatly affects gameplay. If the cost of Superior Vigors shot through the roof because it became legal tender for traders, that would suck for people just playing the game. See what I means?

Based on my observations so far:
Blue runes/mods/inscr/insignias identify for between about 26-60g
Purple runes for between 26-90g
Gold runes for between 100-200g
