The Definitive Storage Thread

[ApocalypseAzza]

something like a hall of monuments type thing for armour, books (library sounds cool) and weapons rack!! maybe placing your armour on the monument actually stores it there instead of the storage chests

[Cimoa]

With all the new books I think 1 extra 10 slot bag per char that can only hold consumables and books would be a great idea and still leave space to actually pick up some stuff from kills.

That's the best idea I've read so far. Make them into a "non-object" after you receive them and place them in the corresponding slot in your [H]ero window. It could hold ALL the books, a slot for each one, so you can read them at any time and never have to physically bring them in your inventory, as they'll be with you forever in the [H]ero window.
After filling them, you just talk to an NPC, and he simply erases the pages from your books again, but it stays in your [H] window.
Way better than the book-tab in the Xunlai chest, as that's account-wide, and the [H] window has THREE huge advantages over a xunlai tab:
- It's character based.
- It's always with you.
- It doesn't take up physical space anymore.

Awesome idea, and /signed!!!

Yeah what the hell? Tiny storage is the oldest complaint in Guild Wars, and adding more items we need to somehow fit in out TINY bags ISN'T HELPING at all.
I haven't played in quite a while because my storage space is filled up and well with that I just can't progress anymore. There's alot more stuff to get but I can't store it anywhere so why? And then I see patch notes like these.... really, wtf?
Are we really expected to buy character slots and extra accounts for storage or something?

It worked for the update itself. I'm pretty sure if we whine enough on Guru, they'll listen. Worked for Ursan too.

A schoolbag + a closet for armors?

Sorry, got carried away a little. But /signed for a book storage facility.

Abso-f*cking-lutely! We are in desperate need of somewhere to put the ridiculous number of books we now posess. I haven't got to Sardelac yet, but if it's not there I hope someone posts this as a suggestion.

I'm appalled at how many people are asking for this, considering none of the books overlap in goals. If you're really trying to do all of those books, finish them one at a time, not everything at once. Divide and conquer.

There is no reason to be carrying around all 11 handbooks at once, either in your inventory or storage.

The books don't overlap in goals, but the players do. Perhaps I will do a mission to advance myself in NF, which I have not completed yet. A bit later maybe I'll help a friend get masters on Eternal Grove. After that I may switch to a different character starting on the Guardian title track with Great Northern Wall.

One thing I won't be doing is concentrating on the requirements of just one book and one character at a time, putting off all friends, guildies, allies, and characters who are engaged on something else. I'm not that single minded, nor are many of the players I know.

Thus, if I want to lock in credit for each of the things that each of my characters may do over the course of time, each character needs to have the appropriate set of books in hand. Either all 11, or a significant subset. What's so hard to understand about that?

Doing one book at a time would feel like being a hamster on a wheel. Most people want to skip around and do things when they feel like it after having already played so much content that having to straight up grind the campaigns isn't fun in of itself.

Prioritize then. If you're going to be jumping around doing that much, you can pick a few books you want to work on, and then finish those before you start new ones.

Of course, nobody had problems with the system before when it didn't exist, but now if players play without the books, they feel like they're cheating themselves?

Look just spend the 10 bucks for storage. How so...Go the the online store and pay 10 bucks and get a new toon. Name new toon "My storage guy" then transfer stuff to him via the Chest and Voila you have extra storage. Ya. Storage. You should now have over 130 free spaces to hold your stuff.

Or just sell the jink that you have in storage and go from there. The armor that you have that you put in the hall can be Salvaged to make mats that can then go in your mats section of the chest. If you have 10 sets of armor then you can afford then you can simply salvage them. What it wont work? MINI pets worth the same way you do not have to have them once you put them in your hall.

Proff? Get a devourer mini and dedicate it. Then walk to an explorable area and drop it on the ground then go back to your hall. oh look its still there

Come on they try and help us out and we bitch and moan about 6 spaces in storage??? Who the heck is going to wants to get 4 normal and 4 hard mode book at the same time?. Complete the one and then do the other. People just want to moan and complain.

Think Positively people. Positive Thoughts. Have fun its a GAME and you paid for ONCE. they do not need to do these changes AT ALL. they do them for YOU. Are you BLIND and can not see that they are helping you out. Look at the attention to detail. Look at all the thought. Do you not think that this came up in their discussion about the books? Give it a rest. Just finish one book before you start the other. Common Sense here people's.

I am in the same boat as ALL of you and you do not see me complaining about the update only about Self Centered Gimmie Gimmi Mentality.


Rant over..

Just get one book at a time do it hand it in and go from there.
Maybe I should write a book on how to use these books.

QQ MOAR GUYS JUST GIV ANET 10 BUX EVERY TIME THEY ADD MORE JUNK ITEMS AND THINK POSITIVE

God why do I read these forums, for every five thinking persons there's an apologist to troll the whole thread.

Character-specific armor storage tab at Xunali Chest -- meaning, you can only access it on that character.
Character-specific book storage tab at Xunali Chest, ditto above. No need to carry them all with you at the same time, it's just unrealistic. It's easy enough to stop by storage to pick up the correct book.
Dye storage, like material storage. Self explanatory.

As it is, I have to have an entire character dedicated to holding 15k armors, and an entire character that just acts as a mule to hold mods and pets. This is with already having a good portion of my other character's bags filled with weapons and armor... There really isn't much room for picking up much of anything.

I'd much rather be able to actually make 2 real characters and play with them, instead of having to use them for storage... Or at least one... having to have one dedicated mule for mods and random crap isn't so bad.

Or better yet...

Make armors not items. After you buy an armor, just make it go poof. And you'd click the armor slot in your body, and it would pull up a list of armors that you have for that particular body slot. You'd dye them and mod them if needed while wearing them, then that info would be saved when you change armors. I dunno. Not very well thought out, but kind of a nice concept, I think...

School bag that we need

[Gargle Blaster]

i don't have a big problem(yes this is still a problem and i have 8 mules) with all the books taking up general storage... i do have a problem with them taking up storage space on the toon... there are only a small # of slots on each person for weapons/keys/books/hats/consumables(including holiday items)/... and still have space for items dropped from monsters.

[Miss Puddles]

shouldn't this thread be in sardelac?

either way, i agree. too many books, not enough space.

Sorry, let me get this straight. You're appalled that people do not want to focus purely on one storyline at a time?

Riiiiiight............
