Not really.

All you need to do it to make way to upgrade packs on way without loosing zcoins

10slot bag + 4 zoins -> 15 slot
15slot bag + 10 zoins -> 20 slot

Or refund zoins from pack (so you can get 10 slot pack and when you get another 4 you can refund your 10 slot pack for zoins)

That way smaller packs are relevant. And excessive 20 slot pack grind is solved and made nonissue by having two milestones along the way.

Not being able to transfer them is just a minor bug thats going to be fixed. AFAIK they didnt want to do it over the weekend incase the fix went titsup and I imagine a new build will sort the problem early next week

10-slotters.

Won't fit all equipment obviously, but they are fairly easy to get. I can get 5 (which is all I need) instead of one 15-slotter, let alone 20, and I can get it fast.

Having 50 slots after a few weeks of doing only the PvP quests sure beats having 20 slots after months of grinding all of the quests. Then I can keep collecting the coins at the same pace and upgrade to larger bags if I feel like it. Which won't be anytime soon.

Heavy on my monk and ele... medium on my necro, maybe. Rest can wait. I really need that heavy pack on my monk and ele though, it's the armour and weaponsets that really take up incredible amounts of space.

Let's see. Small packs are 'free' in the sense that they can be immediately acquired. Light packs come at 50 coppers per slot which is quite reasonable. Large packs come at 167 coppers per slot which is a 333% premium over Light. Heavy packs come at 375 coppers per slot which is a 225% premium over Large. You can either buy one Heavy pack for 20 slots or 15 Light packs for 150 slots. Since my main would need a mega-heavy equipment pack with 60 slots to store her stuff, the difference between 10 and 20 is negligible. Smart money buys light packs

The logical thing to do is getting the 5-slots with gold, since is easier to get, and then go directly for the 20-slots ones, since getting the other two only hinders advancement towards the big one, like taking water from a glass while you fill it.

That's also the most illogical thing to do if you want to maximize your storage space, by the time you have enough z-coin for one 20-slot bag you could have bought 15 10-slot ones, that's (15*10) - (20+14*5) = 60 more slots (provided you have 15 characters).

Heavy for my main ranger, maybe a heavy or large for my warrior, everyone else will probably make do with the small or light ones.

I will be getting the heavy equipment pack on my Assassin (8 armors), Elementalist (6 armors) and my Monk (6 armors). Every body else gets a light or large based on profession (Necro is gonna need large, Ranger can make do with light) etc.

1 Light pack only.

I don't mind the work involved to get it but doing five times that amount of work to get just 5 more slots or 15 times to get only 10 more slots is just not worth it.
1 light pack and then it's back to vanquishing and skill capping for me.

1x 15-slot pack for me. That should be enough to carry the weapons and armor I usually carry with me (1 set, headpieces, weapons) and it doesn't take too long if you only need it for 1 char. The 20-slot one just isn't worth the extra work and waiting time as a second buy imo (after merchant one), ill get it when I have all the items I want from the Zaishen reward guy and enjoy the 15-slot one in the meantime

That's considering you use mules, or use characters to store.

I will probably go for the 15 slots right away. Once all my main characters are equipped with those (I have 4-5 right now), then I might slowly start saving for a 20 slot. Those extra five slots can mean one or two extra runs when Keg farming and such. that is my main concern, since I leave EVERYTHING behind when I go.

Otherwise, I just like wide open spaces.

Grabbing 10 slot for all of them.Because you will never know when they are out of mule status.

I bought Small for each of my 6 mains from the merchant. Now I'll work towards 6 Light, then 6 Large, then finally 6 Heavy. When they all have Large, I will have spent a total of only 40% of the zoin cost of 6 Heavies. Plus the abandoned ones will be hand-me-downs for my mules.

It'll be interesting to see how quickly they hit the trading market and how much they go for. I figure that by the time I could get my first Heavy from zoins (maybe a month or two), they'll probably be on the market, and I'll just buy some extra accounts to accumulate enough zkey wealth to buy them. And in the meantime I will have enjoyed my Lights and Larges.

Heavy on my 4 mains (and maybe monk), since I find the others a waste of time. Why get a smaller pack when you might end up needing a bigger one later one? Just spend less and get the biggest...

Aside from those 5, none will get one. Well, PvP character/mule might. For storage

eventually all of them because for some reason i like to keep some weapons around so all my extra will get the bigs to carry the extra weapons so they dont clog up storage. even the chars that only use one or two extra weapons

Small or none on most. Eventually a heavy for my main armor-collecting necro.

Just one Heavy.

What ticked me off was that you can't open the equipment pack if you open Inventory Bags. I like Inventory Bags more than Inventory since you can see everything, and move items around accordingly. Or salvage/identify whatever.

Ill probably go large on my main and then small on my others - if they stop than i will get 2-3 small bags. Does anyone know if these bags will be tradeable? I think i remember something about the bags being untradeable...

ANET should give these out as a quest reward!

20-slot packs and only those are what i'm working towards with zcoins. Right now I have 2 small packs from merchant on 2 of my 12 PVe characters. I'm planning eventually to have a heavy 20-slot equipment pack on all 12 of my PVE characters! that will take a freaking long time but oh well, i got 12 chars, i could repeat the zquests up to 12 times if i wanted, which i wont , but i have the flexibility (and burden) of repeating quests for more coins. I already have 1 gold coin and soon a 2nd.

I'll just stick with the small one. Most of my chars have just 2 sets of armor.
