Per Voxy Voo, no more storage for you in Chaper Two

Ok well I'm glad I didnt link yet and in a surprising turn of events I might have a return.
It's getting really old how little our $50 afforded us when linking.

But we'll have the options to buy more character slots. Also read mules.
Because we're getting overstuffed to the gills on things we need to store and track and use as part of gameplay. But being allowed nowhere to put it.

Chat on superior runes of holding, helping us with holiday items, and hey with another $50 how about more in the account storage? Even the no monthly fee Diablo2 had this with LOD. No? WTH?

And you're kidding yourself if you don't feel this game has a monthly fee, it might even be more expensive than other MMORPG offerings which offer you almost limitless character slots and bags that go into inventory WITH THINGS IN THEM! and auction/trade systems to help move what you don't want!

I was ready to eat even a couple more character slots but its quite clear we're going to be nickled and dimed ad infinitum. Want your slots, storage, music? Pony up bucko. So much was talked about and IMO little delivered. Buggy, things still missing, and now yet something else many of us were expecting won't be here. Maybe they'll talk about all this for chapter3 and that'll just happen to disappear as well.

Oh well I don't want this to go on long. This has gone on long enough.
Shame as quite frankly I found GW (chp1) to be a terrific game.

and look at image 1 of the 2 there

If you have counter information back it up and link it (Raiin and any others with blanket statements)

ArenaNet ARE going to fix the storage problem, they have already said so, they just couldn't have it done in time to match with factions coming out.


There, problem solved.

This whining about storage etc is getting old. AT NO TIME HAS ANET PROMISED TO INCREASE THE SIZE OF STORAGE. They are working on changes to how storage works. These changes will NOT be a ch2 thing, but rather they will be a Guild Wars in general thing, meaning everyone will get it regardless which chapter(s) they own.

its about time we get storage as i cannot do any pve as my primary account is full of perf items and i cannot pick up any drops. i wish we could have a donkey with bags follow your char around or something. would solve the problem.

Dungeon Siege fan perhaps?

Dargon, include a link or that is more just unsubstantiated yammering.
As to whining, yeah I'm a real bugger because all that chat from Gaile amounted to squat which I could link for you if you need it. I'm still waiting and I've spent the $50. Question is now whether I undo the transaction.

The Herbalizer, yep it's insane how loaded up we are and how ready ANet is to give us tons of crap to keep on top of and we still have no new support for handling that per our entry fee, nor good ways to get rid of some of it with an auction/trade system.

Supposedly we get a lot more when linking but I think too many 'less' things are adding up (2 characters slots, no new storage additions). And it looks like only to continue.

Gale has mentioned more then once about making storage more efficient. They have said nothing about adding more storage.

Well, I for one am looking forward to anything directed to the storage. I run out of space pretty quick.

How exactly could they change how things are stored (and give us better storage management) without actually giving us more slots though?

Not trying to harp on this or anything, but I'm curious as to how this will actually work out.

So your accounts are full of farmed items that don't do any good for your characters or gameplay whatsoever with the exception of providing a self-conceived illusion of wealth generated by "items" that are nothing more than bits of data. That sum it up? Makes it hard to sympathize.

Regardless, changes to storage are coming that will make it more efficient (but not increase the number of slots). Factions gives your linked account up to 100 additional slots of storage right now anyhow, so be patient and quit whining or you'll get a time out.

Besides, with the increased drop rate of high quality items, those things you have stored are fast becoming obsolete or "worthless" (from a purely farming perspective...), so you might as well dump them quickly. Then you'll have plenty of space.

Or how about multiple armor sets to ensure you are prepared for any situation. Slaying and every type of item mod you could require to allow you to never be at a disadvantage. Then there are all the shields you can own; enchant, stance, always, hexed, quick recovery. And I am only talking about mellee classes.

The casters have to have even more items. Mine need to be pvp ready so must have multiple armor sets. All the staffs, wands and offhands start to take up space.

By then space is limited most of the time non-existant.

Also the referrence to things becoming worthless. I honestly dont care. I am sure unconditional weapons will only increase in price so its all good . I only buy skins which I like and I pay way under their true value so I barely if not at all lose anything.

Nope

how true.

i cleaned out some of the middle grade things to the merchant to make room for better goodies later and found out i had a lot of to be honest junk that no self proclaimed elitest would touch let alone buy

i freeded up one mule account almost completely

My bags are full with greens and armour, which I use depending on situation and build. I have a ranger, do you know how many different bows I have depending on the situation?
My Storage is filled with Materials. Each of my Tyrian characters (4) have 5 free space slots. This is AFTER throwing away some "useless" crap. My newly made Canthan has quite a bit more though. Storage needs to be increased, and the sooner the better IMHO.

On a side note: Xunlai Agents make crappy use of their storage. You can see all their chests in Kaineng Center, behind a big iron fence. There's A LOT of free space left for more storage.

No, lesee, a warrior needs minimum of 4 of each type of weapon (one zealous, one vamp, one straight physical, one elemetal), stance shields, enchanted shields, health always shields, multiple armor sets... Then if you do play PVE, you have ID kits, quest items, runes, keys, drops that you might want to sell or give to guildies. Just bare necessities to properly play the game to its fullest will take up 2/3 of your inventory. I don't even have every weapon I need, and I still have fewer than 10 inventory slots left.

Rangers aren't much better off. There are FIVE types of bows, and realistically you want at least 2 suffixes of each. And again, armor, and other stuff to carry.

And if people DO want to farm, so what? Everyone should be entitled to play the game the way they want, but this is a totally uneccesary handicap. Sheesh, people have even offered to pay real money for extra storage (I know I would), so for some of us, it's really bad.

In terms of Storage Spaces (i.e. 20 units), if you hoard materials, that's one Storage Space gone. Collecting Crystal Desert and S. Shiverpeak (and now Factions) collector items? Another 20 units. That's one full character's worth of space gone alone. If you're running multiple armor sets and weapons (this problem is more apparent in Warriors/Rangers/Assassins), its another 20 units or so gone. This is to say nothing of stuff that you might want to collect.

Quite obviously we're short on storage space. The ability to purchase mules is a god-send, but honestly, its extremely pricey and quite frankly, if the reason storage isn't increased is to "encourage" us to buy new slots, then it stinks of ANet trying to milk us dry.

From that article you linked to I dont see anything about storage in his words. The closest thing that Voo talks about is inventory size. To me that means the bags and such that you have on your chars. As far as I know they werent talking about increasing that in the first place but storage on the other hand. Gaile has said a few times that they are working on more storage. This is the Xunlai agent one. Didnt seem like anyone else caught this....

Voxy said no plan to increase character inventory.... we already knew that!

Expansion to xun agents storage as well as guild storage is on the way! Check out the numerous interviews with a-net folks....

Wha? My ranger has two bows, one set of armor and by virtue of various builds kicks his fair share of arse. What people need and what they think they need are rarely the same thing.

EDIT: Ah, and apologies... a Kephket's Refuge for trapping.

what will happen is that Anet will give us more storage space -- we will use it up quickly -- and then complain for even more... I predict that as long as guildwarsguru exists, there will be an active thread about needing more storage.

He or she said no storage plans for factions. Factions is released, the bigger question is what was the question? we only saw the answer.
What if the question was will be be getting more storage for factions or in the future. The answer was no storage increase in factions. Which was known already. There has been talk from gaile asking for more storage. We want more free storage (free meaning no 10 dollars in real money for x amount of slots.) In Wow you could purchase a storage slot and put a bag that held 10 or so items. and purchase up to 5 or 6 bags for each storage slot. Each one you purchased the gold cost was dramatically more. I.e slot one cost 50 copper (50 gold in GW terms) Second slot 10 gold (10 plat in GW terms) 3rd slot 25 gold and etc....it would be a wonderful gold sink and you could get another 100 items in storage. The last slot could cost 100plat. I have no issue with that scenario.
