Much like I did in Guild Wars 1, I bought a ton of storage slots and extra bag slots for my main characters already. Between keeping costumes I’ve purchased, rare materials, and extra materials that I’ve filled the slot for in the materials tab, transmute weapons and the like, I have virtually no storage space.
First up: rare material storage.
In Guild Wars 1 we were able to store all materials – even the rare ones – in the material storage. The ability to do this would open up roughly 2 entire bank slots for me. Is there any word on adding a “Rare” section to the current tab, or adding a tab for rare materials?
If not, how come? We had it in Guild Wars 1, it makes sense to have them again since the need for it is obviously there.
Second, and my main point of the thread: costumes and hat storage.
In Guild Wars 1 there were NPCs that took in festival hats and costumes purchased or acquired and would serve as a storage / distributor for the costumes and hats you’ve unlocked or purchased on your account.
This would solve 2 issues.
1) having the ability to wear the costumes on all characters at once without mucking around with the bank,
2) save slots in the bank by bringing back the separate NPC storage means of holding our hats and costumes.
This is a serious issue. Myself and many other players who have purchased multiple bank slots are literally out of space because of the rare materials and costumes. I know for a fact I am not going to delete the costumes I paid for to create space, nor should I be required to.
I am not going to leave the costumes on one character or another because all of the town clothes on my characters match the personality of the character and regular armor scheme. It’s the way I choose to play.
I’m hoping that the lack of these features aren’t a money grab to get us to buy more storage slots and just a matter of other matters taking priority.
I’m just hoping to get an official Dev response on whether or not these are actually in the works or confirmed to not come at all. I can’t see a reason why they wouldn’t bring these features back to the new game, but we’ll see what they do.
What do you, the players think? I know most GW1 players would agree that the convenience and awesome ability to acquire any of your unlocked hats and costumes would be a welcomed feature to return to Guild Wars 2.
