Eh...the Factions' Shing Jea Island isn't as noobish as pre-searing. When you get out of pre-searing, the highest level monsters are about lvl 7. When you get off Shing Jea Island, everything is lvl 20+.

They dont have storage in pre-sear so people cant bring high lvl items into it.

While I dont see it hurting things if storage was bought into pre-searing, I dont see it helping things eaither.

Dye traders however would stop people being able to scam new players out of a black dye for 500 gold, usually less.

You could give your character stuff that would make it unfair. Factions pre area is differant.

Adding Dye Traders is a good idea, though.

pre-searing needs a make over IMO - the new one is soo much better for teaching you how to play the game. doesnt have to be the uber-speed build like it is in factions though.

Why in gods name would you need a storage in pre-searing? You don't need money in pre-searing for anything, the way I look at it, level to about level 8 or so, then get the hell out of pre. :P

Not necessary for any good reason that I can see. I spent alot of time in pre with my first character. With my other characters I got out pretty quick because i'd already seen it done it and building up my is alot faster in post.

I can think of 1 really good arguement for putting access to storage back in pre, anyone who hangs out there for even a few days will see that it's a forgotten corner of the game that seems to be full of deviant activity. I like pre, but find ppl wispering me to see if I want to cyber all the time disturbing. If a-net would just put back the guild hall link more ppl would play that part of the game, making it a cleaner enviroment like the other more populated parts of the game. And honestly who cares if someone can take a green weapon to pre? It doesn't mean they will have any extra advantage, only that killing char will get boring that much faster lol.

/Not Signed. Every time I go in Pre Sear, there are always more people there then in the Wilds / Druids overlook.
Just to Clarify, Factions Does not have a Pre or Post Searing, "The Searing" is only something that happens in Prophecies.
Factions and Nightfalls have noob islands.

That example isn't really fair, druids overlook and the wilds are places that take an effort to reach in the game, more over you can actually skip them entirely and still play the game. You can't skip pre and still play prophecies and you shouldn't have to rush through the experiance because other ppl think staying in pre is stupid. The plane truth is that putting access to storage back in pre would solve way more problems than it caused.

Well I guess only people having a perma pre char (which is my case) would find it really useful. Yes I would enjoy a green on my pre char, or a skill trainer, or...

But heck, on the otherhand I also like to hunt for a purple 10-16 +20hp 13^50 bow, or to manage to solo the whole Northlands with the 8 rangers skills I have.

And Ascalon is so quiet when you don't have the W.TSpammers. No doubt it would change if there was a storage: just look at Shin Jea Island.

So it's definitely /notsigned. I'd say if ANET should change something to pre that would be to let us go alone to the Northlands after we have completed the quest there.

For some reason i think not being able to go there after you went tru the searing is also a reason.As soon as you go thru the searing you cant go back to nice looking ascalon.
You can always go back to Canthas beginner island.

Pre searing is one of the only places where trade spam doesn't occur. In pre, people actually have conversations in district 1 ascalon. In pre, a non max purple actually means something. Bringing high end items into pre would ruin it. /notsigned

I am mixed on this as some like myself keep a char for guild reasons and it would be nice to have storage and when you reach a certian level say 5 or 6 visting the hall might be nice as well.It was never intended on staying in pre that long but some do why becuase they like it untill the presearing server is shut down or they change it to say new pre on Island close to LA.

Easy solution..nominate a certain amount of storage space to be used in pre (once a certain amount of spaces is designated they will not be allowed to be used for post chars and their items)

Pro's

You get storage for your newb chars
No high level items would be allowed in the designated slots

Con's

You lose valuable space for post sear chars


This idea will never happen as Chaper1 will get no more updates.

I think it only demonstrates just how shallow this game is that nobody in this thread even bothered to bring up the fact that a storage in Pre-searing with all your stowed items would make absolutely no sense for the plot.

The items you got from the Mursaat is available 2 years in the past? The prices of the traders have an influence on the market 2 years in the past? It's like a time-hole has been opened.

The word "scammer" gets thrown around too much these days.

If the seller does not know the true worth of the item they are selling then they are to blame. There is no reason why the seller couldn't use any of the available sources to seek information.

What about this then you get your own pre storage not tied in with your post storage.You get half the slots that there is in post and when you leave you lose it.If you rerole or make new char in pre you have to buy a new storage locker agian.

Perhaps a 'deposit' only storage option in Pre would work reasonably well. That way, you could just drop in whatever dye's you've gotten and be done with it.

No taking out money or that max damage 15^50 sword or axe to play with, just depositing what you've collected and want to keep without taking your character into post-searing.

Tons of "WTS XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"

Seems somewhat odd to have Max Gold Req. 8 Vampiric Zodiac Sword of Fortitude in Pre...

Just ruins the peacefulness...and doesn't make sense that Pre should be able to connect with Post, as Pre is sort of a seperate story itself.

With that said this thread should be closed.

What I would like is a dye trader. It would also be nice to get the two other inventory bags, so I can keep carrying my dyes, crafting materials, collectors items for armor and an extra weapon with me and still being able to carry some loot as well

It's a great system currently, the newbies don't feel pressured into having the max gear and it feels like a game. Little to everyone's knowledge there's a whole other world outside of presearing where the big time is.

So you want items you aquired 2 years ahead in time, to be available to your Pre-searing character?

No, I think not.

It isn't there for many reasons, and those reasons far outweigh those to put it in there.

Too many scams can be made. especially to really new people joining the game. That's what I don't understand about factions.
Why the hell did they make it possible to go back to noob Island and have storage there? Plus Factions players Lvl up to fast and dont really learn much where as in pre searing its a nice easy PEACEFUL place to learn.
Gotta Love Gwen, hope they bring her back. I feel like i gave her all them flowers, mended her flute and bought her a cape for nothing. She owes me! Stalking little.... *cough*... Yeah bad idea dude

Leave the Pre-Searing alone, it's fine as it is. It is a training area to learn the basics of the game. At least this way, new players do not feel like they MUST have the shiniest items out there.

QFT,

It makes absolutely no sense for Xunlai agents to have stuff "transported 2 years into the past/future". For that reasoning alone, this idea cannot be implemented.
