April Update Anticipation thread

one book to rule them all - for all existing and future books.

key chain - one to hold all type of keys - buy key chain, all keys you have will automatically be recorded by this magical device

bags in bag

Get rid of unnecessary items - armors, runes, inscriptions - use same system as PvP's. and quest items

get rid of the 250 per stack restriction

and point system for drunkard please!

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 )

Then (pardon my straightforwardness), why are you (1) reading, and (2) posting in this thread?

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.

/seconded for the guild message board

We already have lockpicks. Tweak them so that they are more affordable to use on low-end areas, and so they drop in place of keys in a fair ratio.

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.

/signed 100 times over....

oh and implement a way for us to get 2x faction towards allegiance titles without having to guild hop to donate faction....

How about a means of ADDING inscribability to a weapon?

Shane

PVE skills for prophecies.
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.

id like to see an alliance roster so we can see whos who

Keyring
Book Bag of some Sort
Armor Tab
Dye Tab
Sortable Account based HOM
Item Stacking (Mods, Inscriptions, Runes etc)
Drunkard Title changed to point system!

6v6 HA and the ability to take 5 heroes with you :>
Pretty much the only thing that would get me interested in GW again.

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...

Shane

i really don't get why people think that monument has to have weapons that are "expensive" in it.

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.

Perhaps it is the "dedicability" of them that makes them extremely desirable, therefore expensive?

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.

Shane

That the update is all ready to go, but about a week before it'll be released, twenty bugs will arise and it'll be pushed back to May.

In a less pessimistic view, I expect the update will do absolutely nothing to give a valid reason to have those who have stopped playing to come back.

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...

Shane

Haha so true. Why would one character need 11 types of Destroyer Weapons anyway? Most of them were merched as soon as they were displayed, because my Heroes were already fitted with adequate stuff.

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.

Those updates the OP posted suck. When are they going to fix the crossing God damnit!
