Definetly a great idea. My monk has 3 different sets of armor and multiple weapon sets. More storage is a must!

What we need is things more like storage for STACKABLE items. This storage for customizable seems like it would be cool and usefull to many players, but I think it would be better if there was storage for customizable items instead. There is no point for putting something taht is customized in the storage as only one character could use it, and the storage is meant to store things ALL PLAYERS CAN USE. Plus it would probably require a lot of bandwidth and hard drive storage for undefined things, where if you have a set storage for certain items like keys and scrolls and materials(I know they are adding materials. I'm just using it as an example), it would require less bytes sent, therefore lowering the amout of bandwidth and hard drive used.

At first, it seems like a good idea, but once you think about it, it seems as if there are better things to make storage for than customizable items and I think Arena Net relized this. It is probably (at least from my view) why they are going put material storage in the game.

But things you customize are most likely the things you plan to KEEP. As in STORE. As in STORAGE. That's the whole point of storage. To store things you want to keep. Everything else is probably either non-customizeable, or something you're going to use/sell.

/signed - All for storage for armor and well, anything customized. Preferrably a seperate bag on your character for the customized stuff.

Ristaron · Jul 11, 2006, 06:34 AM // 06:34

Most people have only one set of armour per character... like me. Maybe it's just my POV, but this would be an update that seems pointless in the big picture. A small portion of the community would benefit, but not nearly as many as would when this storage update for materials is implemented.

Slainster · Jul 11, 2006, 07:47 AM // 07:47

I certainly agree with the general arguement laid down in this thread, i think a lot of us have multiple sets of armor, all for different reasons: builds, looks, farming etc etc.. Im getting tired of moving my armor around all the time to make space in my back packs, so some kind of specialised armor storage would be really useful. Its been one of my gripes since I first bought a second set of armor...

I have:

Full 15k Dragon.
Full 15k Lux.
Full 15k Imperial.
2 pieces of 15k Gladiator.
Dragon Mask
Mini Pet
etc.

"Signet of MASSIVE approval."

P.S. don't say use a storage char...I have two!

Lady Lozza · Jul 11, 2006, 08:19 AM // 08:19

All my friends have multiple sets of armour. Most of my guildies do too. Then there are all those weapons we have that we only use in special situations (yes I have customised them) and all the event gear (which I've been slowly and sadly deleting). In fact I know so few players with only ONE set of armour.

At the very least Anet could look into the idea.

It's not a HIDDEN way to get more storage slots; it's a way of getting more storage, playing by the rules Anet has obviously laid out. It boggles the mind that people can actually think of an argument AGAINST a bit more storage; every other MMORPG lets you store stuff in houses, in banks, etc. Here, we're limited to a pack, beltpouch, 2 bags, and the equivalent of another pack in storage. Then, they throw a bunch of stuff at us during the holidays. Exactly HOW is being able to put this extra stuff away unbalancing? Wouldn't it be nice, when you switch characters, that you don't have to spend 15 minutes juggling all the crap in your inventories around between other characters? What exactly is wrong with wanting this?

Showing off because you have all the gear from holidays, and like you said "its not a hidden way to get more storage slots;its a way of getting more storage" which more storage means more storage slots lol.

Um EVERQUEST BIG MMORPG, has limited slots too, and you know what, people in everquest want more too, wahhhhh too bad. Thats enough slots, more slots just a waste of gigabytes. Sorry but in gaming world you cannot have storage slots for all your needs, learn to put your armor in your backpack, because your other characters cant wear it so dont waste space. I'm running on 16 slots and im fine, I keep getting good swords, which I cant sell, but I'm cool with that, after you sell it to merchant you forget about selling a req 8 15%^50% flatbow with max damage.

The storage is your bank & can be considered YOUR HOUSE, because only your stuff is in it, and nobody can get your stuff.

My arguement agaisnt storage is, that I got too much space, I need less, I hate looking at good gear and saying to myself, "why cant I sell it, those are some really good weapon, why wont people buy it, it cant be that high of a price?"

Anyways useless to have storage for armor and customized stuff, if your not going to use it and it goes in your storage that means its JUNK, and JUNK belongs to the merchant, armor that isnt JUNK belongs in your backpack, because you in the middle of ICE FLOE, and you say, "dang mursaat monks time, gotta change outa my tormentors, oh shoot, left it in bank, oh well, that armor was JUNK anyways, mine as well suicide"

Although inventory slots is an issue, you must think about other ways to fix this other than more storage. My ideas include...

-Runes of Expansion- Bag slots go from 10 to 15. This cannot be used unless you have already used a Rune of Holding on the bag.
Price... I'd say a bit more than Runes of Holding, because most people with not enough storage will have enough money... I'd say 3k is fair.

-Special Thing Bags- These bags do not go in slots like your backpack, belt pouch, and bags do, but occupy slots inside those. When you double click they open up in a separate compartment, just like storage. These bags would be dye bags, christmas bags, Halloween bags, etc.

-There's more ideas stashed in my mind I just can't be bothered typing, i've done lots of posting today and my fingers are tired.-

To the general idea of this thread /signed

Navaros · Jul 11, 2006, 09:45 AM // 09:45

I much prefer "more armor storage" to "more material storage". How about players get the individual choice of which one they want instead? Can't see many who would choose the "material hoarder" option, though.

Armor storage is definitely needed.

Isnt pve all about vanity? Armor and weapon are the vanity.

shinrinningu · Jul 11, 2006, 10:00 AM // 10:00

The material storage won't help much because it only holds 250 of each material. Lots of players have more than 250 of each material. SO, armor storage would help a lot because yes, lots of us do have different armor types for our characters. We don't necessarily have different sets just to show off. Some of us have various skill builds for our characters and need different pieces of armor with different runes or a different set of armor that offers more energy/defense.

definitely /signed

I would like to add that another storage improvement in this chapter is not likely. The trend seems to be that for each chapter, there will only be one storage improvement and they would be exclusive for that one chapter.

Bar Fight · Jul 11, 2006, 10:29 AM // 10:29

Lord of Blah i take it you dont PvP much. Im a PvP addict, and i have on my warrior, 3 swords, 3 hammers, 3 axes, 3 shields, 2 armor sets, 5 helms (yes 5!), and when i cross over from PvP to PvE i have barely enough room in my BAG cuz everything is full. With id kit, salvage kit, keys, quest items, my pumpkin helm, dragon mask, and yule cap. So I personally have no clue what you have to rant about considering all you have to go off of, is your 55 monk which i might add, is the most botted character on the face of guild wars. Now you may not know why they are, but everyone else does. 55 monks are SOLO, all they do is put up bonds, run, prot spirit, soj, zealots, prot spirit, reversal, breeze, prot spirit (and repeat) WOOOOOOOO man thats hard work, you must need so much stuff to take care of 1 person. Sorry for the bash, but calling other peoples stuff trash gets to me. Get a real character then post about how were soo noob for having no room in our inventory. As for the post on armor storage/customized weps

Well come on if we're expecting more campaigns and more armor and more sexy skinned weapons etc etc etc I will actually fill out my storage.

Customised storage does sound like a very good eidea, selective like the materials storage mod we're expecting.

Gotcha. I get it now. You're bitter because don't have a set of the holiday collectibles, and by god if you don't have them, nobody else should either!!! So, since YOU have plenty of space in storage, that means EVERYONE ELSE has plenty of space in storage! (That was YOUR argument against more storage, after all. You know, your amazing logic has inspired me to start a crusade against people owning more than one dog. After all, I only have one dog, ergo everyone else should only have one dog! Why would anyone need more? I sure don't! Therefore, nobody else does either!) Regarding your "really good weapons," perhaps you just have zero ability to sell items. So, your inability to foist your stuff on other people means that everyone else in the game needs to suffer for it. That's such a warm, giving attitude! Glad you cleared that up for me.

As for your argument that everything in storage is JUNK, then why have any storage at all? After all, those spare helms that I have in my storage for different builds MUST be JUNK! Explain again to me why I should be carrying my axe-helm when I'm spec'ed for sword? After all, my axe-helm must be JUNK, since I'm not using it RIGHT NOW! And my set of axes sitting in storage while I'm spec'ed for sword must be JUNK TOO!!! Just like my hammers! By your logic, I should be carrying my entire arsenal of weapons and shields, ALL THE TIME, because otherwise THEY'RE JUNK! I should be carrying my Sentinel's Armor on a Drok's Run, because if it's in storage, IT'S JUNK! Might as well suicide, because I'm really gonna need that Sentinel's Armor for all of that water magic hitting me!

Across The Battle · Jul 11, 2006, 05:24 PM // 17:24

I don't really have a problem with storing my armors..until I accually want to use my non-primary characters for something. Then I have to juggle a set of armor some materials and weapons around so I can accually enjoy a different toon. I do not think that saying zomg more storage is gonna waste space on anets servers is a valid arguement. Anets servers are huge, they already keep track of all of our items. Granted it is going to take up more space, I think Anet can spare it. They can only have SO many more special event items.

Most people will probably buy another character slot when they come available to use as a mule also as if THAT isnt a waste of space on anets servers. :-\
