April Update Anticipation thread

[Sir Skullcrasher]

I think this thursday (9th) will be the update for prediction points and new tonic of the month. The big one probably will hit sometime after that. Unless A-Net put both updates together into one this coming thursday!

Hopefully I can hold out a bit more to have the storage upgrade. Almost ran out of room!! (Blast you sweets and drinks)!!

[Gun Pierson]

The big April update will prolly arrive April 30th and at eight in the evening or so

[go cubs]

it will b april 30th 11:59.59 Pacific Time....haha

Account wide display of HOM - I would really love to see a 'check' system like when you display a title on your character, so you could 'check' the 5 titles you want displayed in your honor monument, 'check' the heroes you want displayed etc. It sucks that you have no control over it and can only randomly cycle through until you get something that's ok.

I don't want them to make any more titles account wide - for titles like skill hunter etc. it's already too easy with tomes to get the best elites and such on your level 1 character, it shouldn't be automatic. Plus that'll render tomes useless, and I enjoy making money selling them. Other titles like sweets etc. should stay character based even though they'll display account wide in the hom, because they're money sink titles and if someone wants to get it on more than 1 character they should have to pay for it.

I could see an increase in the money cap, both for storage and for an individual trade, although I don't think they'll do this.

I'd like another tab added to xunlai to hold dyes, runes, insignias, and tomes. These things are always the same unlike weapon mods (a rune of sup vigor is always +50, a survivor insignia is always the same, while a sword fortitude could be +25 or +28 or anything)

I could see the use in some kind of pouch to hold the 'written evidence' books like the hero's handbook, shiro's return etc. so it would take up 1 slot in inventory instead of 1 for each book you're holding. Although I tend to hold no more than 2 books anyway, I could see how it would be annoying.

I'd love to have another cross game scavenger hunt like black moa or mox, that rewards people for putting all the games on 1 account. That means the normal people who have their own personal account could make some cash, while the people who have 20 copies of 1 game for xunlai rewards and free zkeys don't get the free cash for it.

The Skill Hunter should be account wide. Why you ask? Simple: all of those elites are unlocked for the account, thus, it technically is already account wide. This does not mean that every character should have all of the elites. No, it merely means that their title should be maxed. I hate seeing "1/141" on my characters, but I sure as hell am not going to go capture them all over again with each character. I don't see how this upsets the balance at all. If you want an elite, you still need to capture it or use a tome with that character.

An easy method of adding more storage would be to make runes/weapon mods/insignias of the same type and value stackable. I am still perplexed as to why this hasn't happened.

U still cant use them on every other character until u cap them or use a tome hence its not account wide.

as a god walking i dont want/expect them to make titles easier....such as making drunkard easier to get where you do not have to wait 10,000 minutes.....also

i expect that there will be another storage tab for armor that is speciallized for each character.... dont expect much because anet said they didnt have the server space but magically found some space to do it so maybe room for 3 sets or so for each char or maybe a whole page of storage for 10 armor sets or 8 since the char cap is 8....and if you buy another slot you get another page of armor storage....{4-5 slots}

a money cap increase possibly to 5 mil 10mil is to much....i personally dont go over 500k and if i do i spend it or buy ecto with it as a alternate curency

as for character storage i expect maybe a better way to store weapon sets such as instead of having to keep your weapons in your bag you actually store them on a weapon set.

another thing that would be nice but would never happen..... dye/tome storage and mini pet storage...highly doubt this but one can wish

as for content updates.....who cares about some scavenger hunt that some1 can run how about a new elite zone
like melandrus lair which is like urgoz but totally different
or lyssa's [insert something cool here] which is like a chaos zone that is all purple or ecto-ey like pink

give each of these elite zones something special at the end like maybe new armor from melandrus lair that requires weird materials that no one ever uses...implement new rare materials just for this armor have 1 drop in melandrus and one in lyssa

lyssas zone could have something super cool like ecto weapons as an ecto sink or whatever its called have ecto weapons cost like 150 ecto 100 onyx and 100 diamonds it will raise the price of these weak materials....although it will make some people rich it will also fix the market which is unstable due to overfarming.....in the long run although overfarming is inevitable so it would just be a temp fix unless new rare materials were implemented that could hold value like ecto

thats all i have k bye

[Dawn Spring Of Life]

It would be nice with some new scrolls that gave u doubble or tripple Luxon/Kurzick points

[Yawgmoth]

A new thought:
I'd really really like if the storage update wasn't just straight away log in and get all, but to have *some* of the storage improvements require some action, working as a reward for something, or a new semi-rare drop somewhere or a sink for something overabundant.

It could be like:
~50% of new extra storage - free or almost free, immediate relief and free space to
~20% of new extra storage - buyable/craftable (sink for something, new drops for collectors of something)
~20% of new extra storage - rewarded for new quest chain or accomplishing something new, may require all campagins.
~Last 10% of new extra storage - long-term content, something to do for a longer period of time, could be connected to new actual rare drops which have to be found and not just bought, could be connected to a 'revived' piece of content (Tombs?), this last ~10% could be attainable gradually.

Or is it the fact that your GWAMM title wouldn't be as "totally awesome" if they updated and changed the titles? -_-

phfthahaha so true. I love this post!

[devilnuker]

Hmm, she said no Gwen-CHAN tonic. Does that leave the door open for Gwen tonics? Although a town full of Gwen's playing flutes ad infinitum could be considered purgatory, IMO.

As possibly the last of The Twelve I hope it is something epic to honor Guild Wars. Of course, who's to say there won't be new tonics, maybe another Twelve (to keep us mildly interested until GW2 launch in 2018)?

she said no "gwen-chan" tonic because people were fawning over the april fool's day switch and wanted a permanent tonic for that. Saying something specific to counter a specific comment doesn't "leave the door open" for anything similar that wasn't being discussed to begin with.

The expanded storage I think is HOM ability to store armors and a couple more tabs in the Xunlai Chest, nothing more. MAYBE a pvp-esque armor storage type thing where you just "unlock" different skins by buying them. I really hope, if this is the case, that they use what's in the HOM as well as inventory to determine what's "unlocked" because I salvaged 3 or 4 armor sets on my main character alone to make space...I wouldn't mind having those armors back. I won't complain if it doesn't happen like that though...I'd just be happy to clear up 35 inventory slots on my warrior alone, not to mention all my other chars with 2+ sets each.

[Dervish Kid]

storage space for tomes..higher stack increase in storage. dye page in storage. ability to stack inscriptions,insignias,weapon mods, ect. when in inventory or in storage.

[Longasc]

Maybe the Eye of the North displays a "Vision of GW2" on Guild Wars 4th birthday... as part of the "April Update".

[Red Sonya]

Man where's the update I'm ready for the gnawing and gnashing of teeth and the QQ threads and all that great stuff we get everytime there is a new nerf....I mean update to skills and stuff.

[Khazad Guard]

I'm really mostly interested in the HoM account wide thing. Hopefully they make the organisation better (here's two suggestions I made in a previous HoM thread):

If they do that, I would love them! Best not to have false hopes though...

Possibilities
Book Pouch
-Takes one inventory slot; holds one of each book (multiple books need to be kept normally to prevent people having like a gajillion of the same books)
Dye Case
-Takes one inventory slot; holds 250 of each dye.

Possibilities that are improbable
-Make runes stackable -.-

Possibilities that are impossible
These ones are "special". Purchase from Xunlai Agent, costs like 100g/day for each piece of armor/minipet you put in. Give us what we want but make us pay dearly!
Armor Closet
-Xunlai slot; holds as many pieces of armor as you want. Only accessible in towns (obviously)
Minipet Sanctuary
-Xunlai slot; holds as many minipets as you want. Only accessible in towns (obviously)
