Personally I think 5th slot should be free, then if you want more you buy more.
Either way, at least it's finally details. Also, daily quests FTW (hopefully)

So apparently the weapon and armor storage will be free, as well as the limited one-time one-tab xunlai storage added, with additional xunlai storage at a price. But $9.99? for one tab? I'll buy new char slots instead. May as well buy them now, because Anet will probably double the price in response to these posts.

THAT HAS GOT ME EVEN MORE EXCITED THAN I WAS!!! OMG SO MUCH NEW STUFF
MANAGERIE LOOKS AMAZIN...caps lock off...
Thank you so much Anet, no doubt even i will be suckered into the purchasing of the extra slots too for convenience.

Nice. Looking forward to the update. The Zaishen Challenge quests seem interesting.
I'd rather buy another character slot than another storage tab, however.

"Guys, we're going to work hard to bring you more storage. By the way, you'll have to pay for it."
what.
The separated slots for weapons and armor are things that we've sorta been asking about for years. Same with the menagerie. No biggies there.
Only thing I find interesting about the whole thing is the Zaishen Challenge quests. That sounds like it could be an okay way of getting people to replay different parts of the game. I don't know what they would offer for rewards though. Z-Keys wouldn't make a lot of sense for the PvE accomplishments, and gold is useless to PvPers.
Also, I can't be sure of this, but I do believe I was told that some adjustments were being made to the HoM in this update. How come I don't see anything about that?
And curse you, ANet, for holding your festival all through the last week before finals.

you guys who are complaining about the price of the new storage panes ... i am happy i dont have to sit there get someone else to move items back and forth between other accounts. also my train of thought is that if you get the 4 or any of the storage grades for like the first month they will give you the 5th one free but who knows i be it will be something much much lamer then that. and will probably rage everyone. other wise sweet infos.

Kerwyn, I don't see any new pets in the video. I see a cat, a chicken, an ox, and some other stuff that are other animal models already in game, but no new pets.
Anyway, lots of cool stuff.
People complaining about not getting those extra tabs on storage need to reread a few things. For example, whatever these equipment bags are (armor storage!) is sure to save up space. Also, each character is apparently getting another bag, which is an extra 10 storage per character (or 100 storage slots for a standard NF+Phroph+Factions account).

Yeah! How dare they try to make money! Can you guys believe this?! Charging? Real money? What is this, some sort of company? (I could stress that it's optional but I know logic will only work 20% of the time.)

Dont get me wrong about the update as a whole.. I am loving the "New Daily Quests" and "Armor Storage"... those are HUGE big pluses for me... great job...
I am just a little roughed up about the pay to open a storage slot thing itself... I understand the payment of all those updates done have to come from somewhere... but most people are noting that a new toon slot would be more benificial as a storage unit...
but wait... that would mean I might be inclinded to play that new toon, which in turn, would make me play this game even more 0.0... I see the psychology of this now! I am on to you!

Oh, I also want to point out I agree with Shayne Hawke. Dang you GW for having Easter drops and these updates released during finals season!

Hum... I suppose that's not the entire April update is it? Like the storage though.

And I understand the people saying you get more space with a character slot. (But isn't there a limit to how many you can buy?) What gets to me is people who are saying it should be free anyways. Why? Why should everything be free? Yeah that'ld be sweet but it just is not practical at all.

Ok I'll admit that I was a bit hasty with my knee-jerk response, but you can't hype up added storage and a huge quarterly update then after everyone was all worked into a frenzy drop the dollar sign on our heads. That's just weaksauce.
Personally I'd like something special (besides 4th year minis which anyone can get if they stick around long enough) for accounts that have been around since the day of release (like mine). Something a little extra special for the first timers. You can say that getting the 4th year minis first is reward enough, but I disagree, especially if we've deleted our first characters months into playing, not knowing there would be miniatures based on character age.
I'd also like my extra storage tab that I paid for by buying EOTN for $40 in the in-game store just for the stupid BMP that I never use any more anyway, but that's probably not going to happen.

Either way, I'm extremely excited for this update. I know I'll be getting my heroes lots of pets before the update, just so I can add them to the "zoo". I wonder if that'll be account or character based.
I'm also happy with the extra storage space, at least something is better then nothing. However 10 bucks for an additional storage tab seems a bit pricey. Hell, $5 still would have seemed expensive but perhaps not as bad.
Overall though I'm pleased

From what other people have said I realised it might be like the BMP where it comes with a purchase of some sort - that >would< be attainable by everyone (ofc they might not want to spend the money, but they >could<).

although the word "promotion" suggests otherwise, as long as anet makes that extra slot available for free, it would all be fine. make it a quest or something.

I am so mad with this update now. Its way overpriced for these stupid storage panes. 10 bucks a pane, or 40 bucks total. I dont want to pay 40 bucks for 4 panes of storage on an update to a game. Maybe they coulda given us a heads up that it woulda cost money if you wanted some of this update.
This has made me so mad grrrr maybe im just having a crappy day...but i hate this so much and do not plan on buying this storage....80 extra spaces for 40 bucks! So worth it!...NOT....Screw this

Sounds Great, not the the storage update, that was expected (expect for charging money!). There'll be Zaishen DAILY quests, I hope that they're more than go there and do that kind of quests.
BTW, how dead is this game? This content preview was announced 2 days ago in the official site at the front page and No One has even noticed until now.
Just to end with a good note that represents how I feel about this update; great job Anet. period. Nothing else matters.

I'm definitely most interested in the quests...
Regina, since you seem to be eyeing the thread, could you confirm whether these are all the "major" features that will be in the April update? Just out of curiosity.

Hope you guys buy lots of storage slots or GW2 aint getting finished. Hint they ran out of money and invented dumb crap like this to make more. I shure as hell wont be buying zilch.
Btw did anyone think about what more storage space will do to the economy? O sorry i forgot its allready broken beyond repair.
Pets....dont care a rats ass about them.
No mention of changes to HoM.
Zaishen Quests dont expect new content. I believe you´ll be wisked to some random boss that you´ll have to kill. In return you get a zcoin reward wich you can use to buy more wooden planks with. What for you ask? Idk just ranting.
I would have prefered a mini scavanger hunt and changes to the HoM than all this useless crap which is only suposed to make anet more money.

The Zaishen quests looks great! Now in the guild we wont have to ask 10 times what dungeon people will want to run tonight. We can just do which ever corresponds to the daily quest. If the reward gets us Zkeys I wont have to salvage my armor to buy a few zkeys like I was planning so I can afford r1 zrank! More ways to get Zkeys = more Zkeys for everyone = the cheaper they get! Yeah! I like! Zrank was way too expensive. Now if they really did add the knockdown to the zrank emote like the April Fools update said... omg... that would be the best update ever. But this new zaishen questing is definitely the best part of the update announcement. Thumbs up!
Hmmm...not going to complain about the free pane either. Was hoping for a place to dump tomes and dyes so I guess that uses up my pane right there. My fantasy was they make weapon mods stackable... omg that would free up so much space.
Ohh...I definitely want to cap that chicken or rooster in the video and name him Deli Meat ...or something like that.

What the hell are you guys complaining about? We're getting FREE Equipment Storage, new Zaishen quests and new area for pets and you complain about not getting everything for free.. They put a lot of work into it, if you don't want to buy it or don't have money, who cares, you still get the free stuff and new content in the game.. People are so selfish, they must get everything for free or they just whine all the time.

Eh, it seems like it is a promising update so I'll wait to comment until I actually see it in game.
