Keg of Aged Hunter's Ale

What's the deal with these? Were they supposed to help compact inventory? Because they're 50 uses, unstackable. A stack of 250 level 5's is more convenient. I'd rather just get 50 firewaters from the traveler's gift.

Yeah. And while we're at it, we can get rid of mandragor root cakes, since fruitcake does the same thing. Honeycomb is pointlessly clogging up our inventory, we've got rainbow candy canes for a party-wide morale boost. Birthday Cupcakes can be removed completely, since its effects are covered by Candy corn and fruitcake... I think you get the picture.
People like variety. They like new stuff. If you don't want that keg, you can go and trade it for 50 firewaters, or I could save you the trouble and take it off your hands for the low price of nothing.

Yeah i personally love these new items, who gives a crap if they don't stack. Just enjoy the new stuff.

I was just wondering what the idea for it was. It just sounds like more reason to "have" to get more storage...more stuff that takes up more space compared to what it's worth.
OrionVolaju
Mm. Conspiracy theory much? You REALLY dislike that storage don't you? lol (Just remember you were fighting against it when it was first announced.)
A11Eur0
Well, it's no secret. And all this added stuff being introduced along with omgwtfpwn buy mai storage pl0x! is kinda suspect. Hey look, this guy is collecting random stuff from around the globe, GOTTA SAVE YOUR COLLECTOR ITEMS! Oh look, 3 new levels of coins, new tonics, new summon stones, new candy and booze.
It's pretty obvious...not a conspiracy theory, more like dissatisfaction with having "free" new "content" but you have to pay to enjoy it.

It's all marketing; A-Net gives you lots and lots of more items and (almost) forces you to create a PlayNC account. They've positioned themselves in a way that gives you easy access to buy slots, make-over credits and more storage for all the new stuff they gave you!

Eh. I'm not going to deny it could have been planned that way. But the free pane you can get pretty much covered all the new things introduced. So that's a balance to where it doesn't force you to buy more storage. (It might not cover ALL the new items but a decent percent of them.)

Take a walk outside or something.
Seems like you're just looking for anything to complain about now. Makes you look kind of desperate.

well...it seems sensible..i'd like to see you carry 250 kegs around xD
i can see 250 cupcakes..250 of the other things, but KEGS?
maybe its to keep the packrats from collecting them and instead teach them to have some fun with the items they are rewarded with?

Not looking, just got two of them from Nicholas and thought "wtf?"
@spam: yeah and i can totally see 250 steel ingots, 250 iron ingots, 5 hammers, 5 swords, 8 shields....all in bags.
From a lore perspective, everything about "storage" makes no sense. If you want to say they're magic bags that work like Santa Claus, then why can't a keg fit? My point is that they all of a sudden combined Firewater with ID kits. They didn't even bother to give it a friggin icon...
Sounds to me like it was just introduced as an afterthought.

As for the icon, it's "Under Construction" so just give it time.

Yeah, that's my point. Try reading the posts in the thread before commenting on just the last person who posted. I was referring specifically to someone saying "try carrying around 250 KEGS!"
As for the icon...they've had time. They actually made the 3d model of the Keg, why can't they spend a few minutes BEFORE THE RELEASE making a tiny resolution icon for it, if it wasn't an AFTERTHOUGHT?
I swear, sometimes people need to be shot.

I also found this quite silly. It wouldn't be so bad if the keg uses could be stacked, but that's probably require a rewrite of the item itself.
In other words, the full keg should be of somewhat less value than 50 level 5 alcohols, because kegs can't be stacked, and that makes them costly to be handling.

Sell 'em or use 'em. It's as simple as that.

Well, I'm happy with the things they've done with this update... My Kleenex stock went up 25 points! (TY QQers!)
Eragon Zarroc
anet just like to promote not only 10,000 mintutes of being drunk, but also promte the drinking of kegs by single people. ;-) KEG STAND!

.More seriously, why copper, silver and gold zoins? Unless they're going to make use of them later (even though, they could have had only one currency).

Back on topic, I just used mine up standing in 9 rings, along with the sweets.
esthetic
What I would like to have seen was an auto drink type feature that once double clicked your char takes a sip to keep you drunk until it ran out.

Or you can use the items and stop complaining.
Steph Woodland
maybe anet made a little joke with the icon i found it very funny
just relax and enjoy the game

Simple its the way they're made..think of them as how the identifaction kits work. Superior identifaction is not the same as 4 regular ones

Btw i dont see how A11 asking a simple question is him QQ - my reaction when i saw 1 was - wtf and where the hell am i gonna stick that - probably same responce as a lot of other players.
And if you believe that anet dont have time to set a decent icon and implement it -pah!.
The nicholas npc in pre its been told has been around for quite a long time - was tested months ago but not set into game use till now , how many icons and weapon/armor templates do you thing actually exist ? Id bet quite a lot as theres been pictures of an armor that doesnt appear in gw but was part of GW Utopia before being shelved but somehow was present in dat file and found.
Btw on same note - didnt they change 2 mini pet icons as well - damn that must have taken them ages - must have been those 2 icons that have delayed the major skills update.
A11 - ignore the whiners m8 they aint worth the hassle an ppl who have seen posts by you know how well your forum ettiquete is.
