agree on collector and dye tab

I see more usefullness for an armor holding feature because i have mutilple sets for armor for each characters to be able to farm different areas and i can put all the dye i have one character, but the all the extra armor on one character would be a pain anytime i needed to change to go farm something else.

Anyway, in your post tanedos you say how

So your against hording and want us not to blame anet for it yet you want a collectors items and dye tab but not a tab for custimized weapons and armor? That doesnt make much sense to me.

You have that bacwards Id say. For collector items(seeds, carapaces, ect), I only keep as many as I need, for whatever item I want. But I dont really bother much now, as Im giving items that my level 20 characters have to my low lever character, so the low levels dont need collector stuff. An armor tab would be infintely more useful the items for collectors, as armor needs 5 slots to store a set, and doesnt stack like collector items. Also, most characters will need more than one set of armor(Youre not going to wear armor that protects against cold damage in the Frie Islands, but you WILL want that armor for the Shiverpeaks.) As to the second point, why do think he's hoarding? Im damn sure not hoarding items, and I had to buy a mule for my other 6 characters(just started new non-mule character, so that will help too). For me, I keep a weapon/item I find, that I can use, until I get a better one, and sometimes it takes awhile to find one.

Q4T

Also, if you're collecting too much stuff, sell it. Most items in the game lose value the longer you hold them. In most situations it's better to sell stuff when you get it and rebuy it later on.

Say for instance, you pick up 10 wood. Now this takes up a spot. Say you're out adventuring, and because you have one less slot, everytime your inventory gets full you're picking up less "cash". Say a weapon worth 40g.

Now if you'd sold the wood you could have gotten 40ish gold, depending on where you sell it. And to buy the 10 wood back would cost 100g. So that's a potential loss of 60g.

And those 5 times your inventory got full you could have gotten another say, 40g x 5. So you lost 200g.

I know this example doesn't work for every situation, but it happens. I for one am a TERRIBLE hoarder and I'm trying to break my habit.

I like that this game give you limitations. It makes you think and revalue things.

I'd like to see a rune or dye tab. That would free up a bunch of room on my Assassin mule.

More than likely more storage will be something you can buy from the in-game store....

How would you determine how much space you would get?
Would it be fair to give a player 10 extra storage spaces who has all 3 guild wars
and give the same 10 to someone who only owns nightfall?

MrTwisted · Nov 20, 2006, 11:59 PM // 23:59

How about something as simple as dealing with the keys, I have a load of diff keys across my chars and would love something as simple as a keyring to hold them all. Ok maybe not a keyring but something like that.

I cant remember how may diff keys there are in a single chapter, but you now have to multiply that by 3 (for 3 chapters). You see Keys were not something that was taken into account when the storage for chars was first set up (keys being added to the game at a later date) so now are for some ppl (like me) a bit of an issue.

Another way of dealing with this would be the merchants buying back keys at there sale price (or very near to it), after all if not used they are in the same condition. This would at least ease the need to hang onto them and take up valuable space.

Off topic but related how about letting us access storage from just after the login screen (ie the character select screen). This would save so much time and hastle of jumping in nd out jsut to pass things across. Just a thought...

Why not just have the ability to drop a full 10 slot bag into each storage slot. That would do me for now, until a better solution is rolled out that is.

vampireX · Nov 22, 2006, 01:59 AM // 01:59

that would be awesome. think of the possiblilities! Bags all with armor, or weapons, or dyes inside.
