Hey guys, try to find an answer to that question for a while now, in the forums, but cant get anything. And yes i tried the search feature!

Is there any guild storage that guild members can share? If so, how do you get it?

The only thing we have right now in our guild hall is the regular storage that you get in any outpost. Any way to change that? The guild lord doesnt seem to have anything like that, last I checked anyways.

Thanks!

There is supposed to be a Vault Keeper that would act as guild storage. I have no idea when this will happen. I found reference to it in this gamespot interview.

Gaile please give us a date for it

Yea, our guild had to make our own guild storage with generous members using their empty slots for storage mules. A guild treasure facility would be nice too ( with a tithe option so all members automatically donate at the end of every week).

They told us we would get this (the guild storage at any rate). I also heard they were to give us casinos too. Where the hell are they ? I want to lose all my plat playing Canthan Blackjack.

Shared storage is a bad, bad idea.

Guild Storage is coming, but I guarantee that Gaile CANNOT give a date. As for bad members, if it's a problem, remove them from the guild.

The problem with bad Guild members is that you generally do not know that they are bad until they have looted all of the good stuff that is in the storage and then left. I can pretty much guarantee that within a week of Guild storage being rolled out that there will be multiple threads here complaining about how such and such guild got looted.

Then that would be a problem with letting just anyone in your guild. I love the spammers in towns looking for guild members.

Well, I'm sure not just anyone in the guild can put something into Guild storage, that wouldn't make a lot of sense. There has to be some type of restrictions that can be placed, like a certain "guild storage officer" or only officers or something like that.

Maybe an officer can be promoted to treasurer and see who takes things in and out. Assuming Anet will provide a log of Vault Usage. The guild can also set up a time line when they have to repalce the item with something of equal value in the storage. If the members do not comply simply kick them from the guild After a warning of course.

That's like closing the barn door after the horse is gone. One might not know about a member until it's too late.

Easy solution.

Guildie A donates something to storage.
Guildie B wants it. He goes to get it and a message goes out to Guildie A.
Guildie A accepts. Have a nice life Guildie B.

with the inception of titles... the person who stole from a guild would get the title 'guild robber' (1-5). At level 1 it would cost 10k to invite into a guild, 2, 20k... at level 5 they are no longer elligible to join a guild

A more practical solution would be to control who has access to the storage. Have it so that initially only the guild leader can access it, and have the option to allow officers, and/or other members access to it if so desired. That way everything has to go through someone presumably more responsible or trustworthy before it gets put in the storage or taken out. Or you could just turn it into one big grab bag if you like.

In other games, for example WoW, they didn't have storage either. The method used though could be applied to a storage area. In WoW usually the leader made a special character that held guild items in a bank (would be an actual storage area). If anything wanted to be withdrawn, they literally had to go through the guild leader to get anything out. That would probably be the best thing, but also the guild leader might be a looter too. I like Lets Get to Healing's method. Many possible solutions, but also a lot of possible problems that would have to be sorted out first.

You could also have a system where the items put in and taken out of storage are "logged" ...eg: Player A has put 1 jade into storage, Player B has removed 100 ecto from storage....then you would know who put the things in, and who took them out...and if need be you could deal with those who remove things without permission.
Or you could set limits on what can be taken out (like only 10 of an item per player per day...) unless you have an officer ok a higher amount.
Just some ideas.

Im not sure what anyone would put in this storage anyways? I mean, from my expeirence, after creating 6 PvE and 4 Pre-made PvP (2 accounts) After a while, i stopped picking up everything I could find. If it wasnt max damage with a decent damange mod i wouldnt pick it up. Im not sure how anyone else is, but my necro has an entire bag slot emtpy, my warrior has maybe 3 or 4 slots (due to 3 armor sets). Is it just me or do i just not care about pick ups?

The main point of a guild storage that I've seen, is a place for people to put things they don't need, that newer players might need, like low level gear and supplies etc.

Sod guild storage, I want a way to place bags into my storage. Each bag+rune of holding = 10 slots per storage slot. Now that can't be too hard to implement.

Many of my members change there armor frequently and collect materials for that purpose. I even know of 1 member that has 20 of every dye. I myself collect collector drops for some weapons. I think storage is more pratical for this.

As in other games,

Anyone could deposite, but only the guild leader could withdrawl.

This is mainly used for things thast have little value to most players, but good value to newbies...like minor runes and normal crafting mats.

I like the idea where the guild leader designates who has access. There always will be a risk of a loot operation but I doubt storage is meant for storing 200 ectos and things. Its for the people that get something and say meh don't want it don't need money from it but could be useful. I have 5 ittemas in my sotrage I would gladly give away to guildies but Im not going to spam it everytime someone gets on :P

Or it'll be useful for putting all our masks in and other useless, but sentimental junk. Tengu Mask was great for about 5-minutes I got it, but now, bleh. I wouldn't really mind if someone just took off with it. Kind of doing me favor since I'm attached since I had to wait for the Emperor thinking it'd be something great.

If that happens to you it's your own fault...this is why mine consits of <10 players.

Besides GS will likely be leader/officer only

Then he will get the message when he gets online, and Guildie B will have the item in his inventory afterwards, even is he gets on later.
Otherwise you could just as well trade.

Might be a good idea to split it up into 2 parts:

- officers + leader part only, for those more costly items
- all members, for materials and runes and not so valuable items.

everyone is allowed to store, of course.

Another idea is to make it so you have to buy it, just like the other guild hall services, and get like 20 slots, and be able to expand it with extra slots for, say, 1k each (10 slots for 10k). Just an idea.
