More storage. (Now with special item collection sway)

OK, I have opposed storage from the beginning, but it is time that it gets expanded. The number of items to collect in this game makes filling up your storage on collector items extremely easy. 7 more items from the Halloween party, and possible upcoming items made me change my tune

I used to argue that more storage would give the buyers and sellers an ability to hoarde items, but at this point in the game the world just needs more spaces to store stuff.

Here is my inventory on my Warrior. This inventory is like this so that I can PvP with my warrior. I would also like to note that all of these items are customized, and I added a Pumpkin Helm, Frost Artifact, and Icy Axe last night, so this pic does not show the entire collection. I actually do not have room to carry a ID or Salvage kit on this character anymore.



Add in some crafting items, collector items, dye, and weapons, armor, and offhands for other characters and you have no room to pick anything up anymore.


So, can we get some more storage?

If you want to, make extra storage only for characters that have completed the game, or some really hard quest, but please give us some more storage space.

Even something 'limited', like an armour case that will only hold spare armour would be nice. How about a materials bag...? Give me space!

More storage FTW

I agree with having more storage space, and i also agree that it should require something else. I've seen many games have things such as "boxes" and other items that fit into your inventory/bank and hold other things. I would personaly like the idea of having a quest, or lots of money (for more of a gold sink, since the people who need more storage are more then likely the ones with more then enough money).

What I would love to see in the next chapter or maybe in one of the upcoming updates is the ability to manage all your charcters' invertories without the need to logout and login with a different char. Because how many times do you need to transfer something from 1 character to another...

What also would be nice is to have a per character storage. Speaks for itself I assume.

Some kind of boxes would be nice as well as already suggested.

My storage is bulging out as it is, with all those materials stored in there...

My storage is full of materials I have collected, a few dyes, and halloween items. When I pass things over between my characters I have to take things out and in again.
Not to mention that one of my characters has to carry all my runes (my monk). He recently had like 40 which filled the inventory so I sold loads of them, but still it's gay that I really don't have enough space for more things.
My warrior's inventory is full of lots of weapons, upgrades and other poo that I can't be bothered to sell to a trader or a person. Because I like keeping things, I just don't have enough space anymore. As I am keepiing some halloween items, I have 3 colors of dye in my storage as well as them and materials. If I find another color of dye, there's gonna be problem.

I vote for more darn storage, either on the inventory or in the storage vaults.

We deffinately need to get more space. I tend to hoard things like crafting materials for when i need to either craft rare materials or just buy new armor. there's just got to be more space or we're going to start seeing characters burst at the seams with overflow items

my friend has 3 sets of necro armor
2 sets warrior armor
2 sets monk armor
he uses all of them alot
he has no storage space
just recently really maxed mine out with all the haloween items

I think that an armor case could be a very possible solution
maybe a crafting material bin???

I can't see any reason why we shouldn't have more storage space. Space is currently very, very limited. It seems that ANet desperately wanted to prevent hoarding in this game, thus the small storage space (20 spaces shared amongst 4 characters, no matter how you look at it, is very small) and the relatively low cap on gold in storage. But this seems like a "solution looking for a problem". Many expensive items like ecto can still be hoarded easily because they stack, while useful but lower priced items like runes and upgrades cannot be.

Even common crafting materials, with a cap of 250, are too hard to store in any decent amount. I would like to see a cap of at least 500 on common materials.

Now they are giving us special items that people will want to collect, causing more problems for storage.

The amount of items you can hold on one character is currently 45. Yet, we can only hold 20 things in a (presumably) massive storage vault. That does not make sense. Personally, I'd like to see storage space for 40-50 things. They could at least make it a gold sink if they are THAT much against it. In other words, you would have to pay a fee to open up more than the first 20 storage spaces. Like the original storage fee, only higher of course.

I play Neopets....and theres a limit to how much items you can sell in your store. If you want more space you have to pay to upgrade. I think this is perfect for Xunlai.

You can even use A-NETs OWN reasons to argue for more storage.


They admitted that if they were to introduce more proffesions then there DEFINATLY WOULD BE A NEED FOR MORE CHARACTER SLOTS.

As they have added MORE items... then there DEFINATLY IS A NEED FOR MORE STORAGE SLOTS.

its as simple as that.

Like FVC said, just increasing the stacks of crafting materials to 500 from 250 would be a major help. Currently, after these materials, I only have three or four empty slots.

i need more storage but like, im sure you got other characters you can dump some stuff on for the time being when your not needing it

Problem with the idea of storage characters, while good generally speaking, is if you are playing with 4 characters and one account, like many are, you have 4 such characters that look somewhat like the OP's. Chev has two weapon sets for various uses, as most do, shields for circumstance, a couple extra armor pieces to accommodate build flexibility, and basically only one armor set. Woe betides you then try two armor sets. You then need a second account for storage, but accounts arent linked and we cant add character slots to an account yet, so you then need two computers running GW simultaneously or people able to help you move things around as you need. Bit frustrating really.

I love the idea of increasing stack max amounts. That would help, though if you hang onto your rare materials found, and do any salvaging, as pretty much we all do, you've then got some 10-15 slots minimally taken right from that alone even when stack amounts go up. More spaces really. Toss in some things you wish to hang onto and its pretty tough.

Dont need excessive space expansion, since the argument against hoarding is valid. Some help though would be nice. I think the purchasing of extra character slots linked to the main account is ideal, since its then optional for those who want to play more primaries or have extra spece or whatever they wish, and others can pass if they dont need it. Short of that, maybe a bit more space in storage?

That would be cool, like a little camp where your three other characters are just chilling npc style while you take the forth character out for a spin. and whenever you need to switch items, just click on one of your characters sitting by the fire and proceed to switch items. (this camp should look the same as the camp in the login screen).

of course in conjunction with raising the material stack from 250 to 500 and armor sets (like weapon sets), it would aleviate alot of these storage space problems.

but more storage space is always good.

Pretty much every point I wold make has been covered here...
