Guild Wars 2

Even if it doesn’t (and it might), I’ll willingly drag stuff to my char to throw into the wallet just to get it out my hair! Gosh, I’m so happy about that! If its actually a wallet, and doesnt have the 250 stack limit…I may die of happiness.

I’d love this option (though I share an account with my partner, and I bet he’d spend all mah moneh!)

I hope there’s no stack limit for tokens, neither. I’d love if the game automatically converted the item currencies into non-item versions of the same thing.

Yeah the stack limit is key here.

The wallet itself is good – having it accessible for all characters at anytime is convenient.

But for stuff like badges or tokens, I do hope they have an unlimited stack. But I recall that there was to be a gem store item that increases your stack limit (datamined a few months back). So I’m not sure.

But either way, it’s an improvement.

Dungeon tokens this is the best thing ever.

The gemstore item could be for your bank items specifically (lot of us collect stacks of mats for crafting).

Just caught the ‘karma’ part of that wallet description. If they actually roll all of my char karma into one pool which I can build/withdraw from on any character… Oh gods what an improvement. Gimme!

Really, it’s a major quality of life improvement change and greatly appreciated. One of those “Fly out to Seattle, knock on the door and start hugging people until you get arrested” changes. Very nice indeed.

I wonder, if karma becomes account bound, will karma jugs still need to exist? They could always remove karma jugs from the game, and add direct karma points to your account.

Where is this wallet?

Now I don’t have to worry about which of my characters I need to pop karma boosters on before chugging my 300+ jugs of liquid karma.

Am I missing something here?

Azure Prower.8701:

Where is this wallet?

Volkon, don’t give me ideas!

Diogo, yes and no. People stack karma boosters to use those jugs. Although they could just run around with the boosters on I suppose (wouldnt that just kitten people off)

Azure, the wallet is part of the next update.

Finally I will able to free up a lot of bank space.

Oh, forgot they post the overviews this early, lol.

The only thing I’m not crazy on being in it is the coins (a little ironic, I suppose, as it is a wallet ) as I find it a nice thing to keep track of how much each character has “earned” but overall it’s a brilliant improvement so I don’t care.

Pooled karma alone will make such a difference, I can just chug those 200+ karma items I have stored all at once without wondering if some other character might need them more in the future!

True, but stacking jugs and clicking 300 times is not exactly better game design than directly getting the points account-wide. The later is more streamlined.

Ty. By early, I meant in the morning :P

Can’t wait for the wallet, might mean I won’t have to buy the next bank slot after all.

I’d been wondering what I was going to do with an entire bank tab worth of Badges/dungeon tokens/Relics. Now I know! I just hope there’s no stack limit, or that would defeat the purpose.

DiogoSilva.7089:

Hmmm… that’s a good point… we could even log in that day and find that they’ve already quaffed all our jugs and added them to the pile o’ karma!

We might need to drink ’em ourselves to maximise the karma gain.

Still though, I hope they don’t remove them. I kinda like ’em. I think karma jugs and other karma items are a nice “physical” reward like loot bags.

Hey, I like opening things.

I also like opening things, but I prefer opening loot bags with unexpected surprises the moment I get then, than cluttering my bank with 10 different types of karma items while waiting for the next opportunity to maximize karma gain and click 300 times to consume them all in one go.

Anet doesn’t even needs to remove those items from our bank. They can simply remove them as rewards, and add direct karma instead.

I sure hope that watchwork tech isn’t going to go berserk…. probably will :/

Tower Guard.5263:

I sure hope that the materials to make watchwork items isn’t time-gated. But that’s a discussion for another thread.

Macro key to double click those jugs. That is allowable since 1 double is technically 1 keystroke. So you just macro the key and hold the kitten down. (Its how I open stacks of bags without giving myself carpel tunnel). ALthough, Im happy with Karma being direct deposited, although I dont see them doing away with the jugs anytime soon.

So, question about this wallet….when they say ‘coins’ do they mean gold, silver, copper? And if so, hows that going to affect the storage of money in the bank? Will that simply be removed? Will it be treated sort of like a ‘savings account’ to refill your wallet (checking account) when you exhaust your allotted funds? Hmmm…

Tower Guard.5263:

I hope it does (a bit at least)… I love the blurring of the lines between what some consider steam punk and others fantasy. Add a little Asuran Sci-fi (albeit via magitechnical means) and I’m rather giddy.

hahaha the moment I read about the new soldiers I thought oh ho Tixx’s Toy shop meet creatures of Steam and Metal

I was really happy to see this in the updates. Great idea. I have more badges now, after the retro achievement rewards, then I did when I was in WvW regularly, not to mention little stacks of dungeon tokens. Nicely done, devs!

Have you ever considered using Karma on the Lost Orrian Jewelry Boxes?

Anet doesn’t even needs to remove those items from our bank. They can simply remove them as rewards, and add direct karma instead.

That’s gonna kitten off pretty much everyone who likes hoarding their karma. After all, if you get it directly added, I won’t even have the choice to use a Karma Booster, Ice Cream and a Guild Karma Boost on it. And considering that those add up to over +60% karma, that’s a ton of Karma lost.

Macro key to double click those jugs. That is allowable since 1 double is technically 1 keystroke. So you just macro the key and hold the kitten down.

Actually, that is not allowed. There is no “technically”, if you’re getting more than 1 action/click per 1 action/click, it’s not allowed. In case you’re doubting me, check out this post by Gaile.

LanfearShadowflame.3189:

Yeaaah I’d be careful on that. It’s not worth the risk without clarification from Gaile or the CS team.

I personally would consider it two actions compared to 1.

I have no idea how they plan to do this but after chugging 500k worth of jugs the other day to buy boxes- to click more and buy more boxes, I am not in a hurry to do that again.

I like the jugs but I have a problem in judging how much I need on any given character an often overshoot.
Having Karma or anything really all in one place is awesome!

Quality of life update- way to go Anet

What? I thought they were throwing items at us to force us to buy bank slots! Now I’m all confuzzled, are the devs greedy and evil or not?

Please, don’t remove karma jugs NEVER… They are really worth for people that now how to use it.

Wow so nice. Now I’m really curious where the wallet will be stored.

I’m hoping the karma jugs are put on there as jugs and you can still drink them separately. It would cause massive karma loss if they did it for you without the boosters.

I guess this means I don’t have to go to the bank and deposit my money each day. Another nice feature.

Edit: after reading it again, I think the jugs of karma are not deposited. That you still get them and have to drink them separately. After you drink them then they go into the karma pool.

You do still get the choice. You can always boost your karma bonus before getting a karma reward.

Yes, in the end, it’ll mean a bit less karma nonetheless, but I’d take better game design over higher numbers.

Oh man… account bound gold wallet would save me so much bank running time!

I’d rather this stuff just act like our crafting materials. Separate bank collection tab, can be accessed from anywhere. Like a crafting table allows use of banked materials, so too should vendors allow use of banked dungeon tokens and the like.

To have each character carry a wallet with this stuff seems cumbersome.

A bit less?

Take the jugs, for example. You can get a maximum of 40 in a month. Currently, it’s perfectly possible for you to hoard the mall and get (in my case) +63% Karma on it, for a total of 65.2 jugs’ worth of Karma.

If they changed it, I sure as hell could not afford (nor would it be practical) to use those boosters on anything but the day I complete my monthly. Since I have a passive +3%, that would mean I’d be getting 29.87 from the 29 days, plus 17.93 from the day I complete my monthly on, for a total of 47.8.

That’s a total of 78,300 Karma lost.

While I agree that Karma becoming account bound makes the jugs less helpful for people with alts, they sure as hell are not obsolete.

Yes. About time! It only took them a year to get around to it.

I sure hope the watchwork items aren’t hidden in extreme RNG. I’ll take time gated over that any day of the week.

At least then you’ll know you can get an item in a few days. With RNG you may never get it.

“Keep all of your currencies in one easy-to-find location! This Wallet holds dungeon tokens, coins, karma, laurels, Guild Commendations, Fractal Relics, Badges of Honor, gems, and glory and makes them accessible to any character on your account. Upon logging in with each unique character for the first time after the Wallet has gone live, that character will have all of their currencies deposited into the account-wide collection.”

I’ll be in my bunk.

I’m wondering if this wallet will simply replace the bank for the achievement. Some of us don’t have the golden title yet (getting close)

MrRuin.9740:

Been playing since launch and I am finally 10g away from the title. Don’t scare me like this.

Besides the speculation, this announcement has to be the best QoL improvement I have heard of. I am so happy this will be implemented.
Now if only the gemstore item we heard of long ago to increase max stacks to 500 is also made available… I will have room for the increase in crafting level. All crafting professions maxed means that I am holding on to my base recipe materials and extra mats. I am running out of room on a bank that has the slots maxed.
At least the wallet removing tokens, relics, and all other currencies will ease the strain on my bank

I don’t think the account wallet will be much like the current storage we are used to with 250 stack limit. I’m thinking it will be unlimited system like the Karma limit that goes well beyond 250, 250k, and 1 million+ karma that we have now.

DiogoSilva.7089:

I’m pretty sure the jugs of karma are going nowhere.

If they DID remove them, they’d have to find replacement effects for all of the karma boosters you can get in the game. This includes ones you can buy from the gem store, food bonuses (that require crafting to make) and guild banner bonuses (that have to be earned and paid for by the guild).

This would create a huge mess and a ton of extra work that will, no matter what they do, kitten off a lot of people. The easy answer is to just leave things as they are, and keep the jugs.

Lol, I wouldnt had recommended it, if I hadnt asked.

I’m hoping it will be somewhere in our hero pane where we can see how much we have of which currencies. Kinda-sorta like RIFT does (but you know cleaner & better)

Something like that would be nice indeed! Maybe we can beg really really hard and convince ANet to show us a screen shot?
