[MERGED] New Storage Options for Guild Wars

Not picking on you personally, but why are you hoarding Kappa shells (or any other useless collectable)?

If there's something you want from a collector, get your 5 shells and be done with them.

Now I started hoarding all my drops when they announced the Dragon fest, since you never know what the special collectors may ask for, but as soon as I know for certain what I need, all the extras get sold.

On the other hand, I always keep a couple stacks of materials around for armor and weapon crafting.

EDIT: To avoid confusion: here are the 36 crafting materials mercilessly cut and pasted from guildwiki:

Rare:
A
Amber Chunk
B
Bolt of Damask
Bolt of Linen
Bolt of Silk
C
Clay Brick
D
Deldrimor Steel Ingot
E
Elonian Leather Square
F
Fur Square
G
Glob of Ectoplasm
J
Jadeite Shard
L

Lump of Charcoal
M
Monstrous Claw
Monstrous Eye
Monstrous Fang
O
Obsidian Shard
R
Roll of Parchment
R cont.
Roll of Vellum
Ruby
S
Sapphire
Spiritwood Plank
Steel Ingot
T
Tempered Glass Vial
V
Vial of Ink

Common:
B
Bolt of Cloth
Bone
Brick of Mud
C
Chitin Fragment
F
Feather
G
Granite Slab
I
Iron Ingot
P
Pile of Glittering Dust
Plant Fiber
S
Scale
T
Tanned Hide Square
W
Wood Plank

I'm slightly confused. It says it's for Common/Rare crafting materials, but there's a slot for kappa shells out of the 34? o.O It doesn't really help me though because I already have 1 character devoted to craft mat holding. >.>

Anet has a singular ability to deny the requests of their customers and rub it in their faces.

What if I want more then one stack of a particular type of crafting material? What if I'd rather put armor in storage and carry my crafting materials?

Some poor programmer probably invested a lot of time and effort to code those new inventory slots so that they would only allow certain objects in them. Players and devs lives could have been made a heck of a lot easier if they were just general purpose extra slots.

And Kappa shells? If there really is a slot for that I wonder if there will be a slot for naga pelts and naga fangs and... the list goes on and on. Sounds like someone failed to put on their thinking cap when making that list. Ah well, no press release is ever perfect.

/SIGNED!

This is a great start, that is what I mostly have in my storage is materials and stuff.

Cool that they upgraded storage. Too bad that I don't collect materials too put in the storage. -__- Ah well. It's a good start.

Remember people -.-

Its a start

This update is a "Yes, we have been listening to you, but this is all we can offer right now. Give us some feedback so we can improve it better."

or for you cynics: "Heres something we made in 10 minutes so you think we are paying attention to you, now stfu."

I'm at work and can't check: If there's a slot for Kappa shells, what's missing from the above list of materials?

Yessssss! I was only complaining about storage the other day and Anet give us the new news LOL. GG.
And i love the fact it'll store materials. This is what i've always used storage for, and now i'll have room for ALL my materials AND some rare items ^_^

/Advanced thanks to Anet when the storage update is released.

Kappa shells are not materials... They are collectors items...

I'm wondering if that's a typo or something...

Since there are only 34 slots, I would guess that Brick of Mud and Clay Brick might be the odd materials out of that list (that is, assuming that by Kappa Shells they meant Chitin Fragments). I sure hope it's not Rubies and Sapphires, since there is no use for them currently.

May be a typo, but people keep bringing it up...

They are collectable drops.

hot dang! love you guys at anet!

keep up the good work :-)

I think its most definitely a TYPO.

Thats why they renamed shells to chitin....>.> to avoid confusion~~

I'm not. Taken from the PR:

I would have been happier with a free 34 slots of craft mat storage, not linked to any specific item. :X That'd clear my one entire character and hold every other craft mat I have spread about. o.O

Agree, would like to see the next round take account of Dyes, Keys, collector items, Armor and multiple stacks to be able to put in some of those slots where you don't collect some items.

I can see armor being the most troublesome but if I had a dedicated space for the rest I wouldn't mind just keeping my armor and weapons on my character.

It would be nice to have a large guild repository box that is larger than normal that anyone in the guild can gain access to and remove or add. Our guild has at least three mules to carry all the crafting materials and collector items that we share. It can be a big pain when trying to switch characters so that they can get stuff from the community pot.

^^ Sorry about that

Has anyone actually seen this yet? First the release says "supply or material," then it says "rare or common material."

So, what's actually in there?

great news for me sinc ei have so much amterials i'm overflowing with materials and items but now maybe i can finally play my sin and end his mule life
