Heavy Equipment Pack. Possible on a single character from today.

This, I got my heavy equipment pack like 2 days after that.

Also, I doubt that anyone who gets the pack today got it because they did all the quests every day.

Technically, upgrading to heavy pack from light/large wastes zoins.

If, I for example get large pack today, I will be 5 gold zoins shot for heavy bag; that's 20 more days till heavy for me (a bit more with 'having life').

Ofc, I do not 'farm' zoins, but rather take quests as excuse to finish up NM protectors for my secondary chars.

I'm getting it. I just play when I feel like it and so far I got 5 gold coins. I don't really care how long it takes anymore. I mean I play to have fun and doing missions are fun I think ^^

The heavy bag should be gotten as soon as possible why drag it out forever? Once you get your heavy bags the zquests become obsolete for pve, I think people want to reach that point as fast as possible not make a career out of doing stupid zquests with insanely low rewards.

Because they can't be upgraded like the 5..10 slot bags.
If you plan to get 20 slot bags inyour characters, getting the rest just hinder you from getting the bigger ones.

If the items in collectors were the upgrades to transform each bag into the bag of the next size, then people could get the 10 slot bag knwing they can turn it into a 15 slot bag later.

Being fixed that way, getting a 10 slot bag is like getting a an armor with 30 AL when you are level 20 and can get an armor with 60AL, you can't upgrade it, so why get less when you can get the max?

People wont complain so much if the prices were lower, and much less people would complain if they were upgradable.

You really aren't losing that much by upgrading in steps rather than waiting for the largest bag.

You lose out on 1 coin if you get the 10-slotter as soon as you can, rather than waiting until you can spend 5 coins for the 15-slotter. That's only adds 20% longer onto the total time, and in the mean time you do get to enjoy that extra storage, which by itself does have some intangible value in terms of convenience and time saved moving stuff around.

I will need at least 9 zoins to get my 1 large and 4 light - but I am debating over whether I would just go for 6 more to get the heavy. At my rate, i can get 1-2 coins a week - depending on how much free time I get and how many quests are runnable. The UW quests have been a godsend since most of them could have been run in a few minutes letting me do other stuff and the charged blackness was great - 15 minutes for 105 zoins, just in a regular and not meta group. I think this week I spent a solid two hours doing those to get 2 gold coins!

I hope ANET continues to release more quests like that, but i doubt it. So far I have 7.2/9, so im getting there O-o. Heavy packs just don't seem to be getting any cheaper though it seems to level out at 80e, but perhaps it may lower just a little eventually.

When I get a gold coin in one-two weeks, one coins less means one week more.

It's all relative. If it's going to take you 15-30 weeks, what is one more week?

One week less I can use it.

Then it's also 15-30 weeks you don't get to use a smaller bag, while you are waiting.

I accumulate coins at a slow rate too, it'll probably be many months before I get the 15 slotter, so I'm going to get the 10 slotter as soon as I have enough coins.

My Nec needs a Equipment pack of 40 slots.
Got 4 armors+1 on me and various weapons.

I am saving for a heavy pack so I can buy PvP armor for my PvE necro. With a few shield sets, a few different headpeices and the standard 40/40 curses and now 40/40 soul reaping sets, I will need every bit of the 20 slots a heavy provides

I have 9 armors + 1 on me and my 15 slot pack is full of weapons and shields, and I'm just fine...I just keep a tab open in storage in case I need to use the character for anything.

I need a Heavy Equipment bag for my Necro and that would only cover 5 of my 6 armor sets. Now that I have 55 armor, Curses, Blood, and Death armor, high HP armor, and high energy armor I need to get or make decent weapons so I can PvP the right way. ^_^ Cuz I'll need something to put in all the empty storage slots.

Five of my chars have at least four sets of armour. So I'm getting the heavy on those. On the others I might get the large (they're mules). Anyway I'm on 11G zcoins and counting!

Actually, people have been getting them before they were able to afford the z quests. I've seen a few sold ever since Nicholas the Traveler came around.

I'm gonna work towards a heavy equipment pack on each of my characters. I've already got 1, and that combined with the free storage pane will handle me for quite a while. I figure if I can <b>average</b> 150 copper coins a day, over a year that's 7 heavy packs. And I'm only gonna do the quickie z-quests from now on, or arenas I used to do b4.

If I don't happen to be playing in a year, well I guess I won't need them.

I haven't been grinding them out but have done enough to get 6 gold coins so far. I will get one heavy for my main char so I can clean out one pannel of storage that is full of armor. The rest of my chars will likely get 10 or maybe 15 slot packs.

Since its very simple to farm the small packs in pre you can equip every char with one for free to expand your storage a bit until you farm what you need.

Farming small packs in pre = wtf? It's 50 flowers, ~30 minutes, why would anyone want to do that and then spend some more effort transfering them to post when farming 2.5k gold takes a tiny fraction of the time? Or getting 50 bronze coins for a simple zquest.

First thing I did was getting the 10-slots for all my chars and mules, now I'm in the process of getting 15-slots for the more heavily played chars. Seems the most logical way to go, giving most space for least effort. I won't even think of getting a 20-slot for own use before getting a bunch of those, and that's won't happen soon.
