Guild Wars 2

I clicked the gear icon in my inventory and saw this new option. But it’s grayed out and seems to do nothing. What’s it suppose to do anyway? Lock my shared slots so they don’t scroll with the rest of my bags? That’s something I’ve been hoping for, but I have no idea what this option is even suppose to do.

The Shared Inventory Slots can now be dragged to either the beginning or the end of the inventory. An additional Embed Shared Bag option in the inventory Options menu allows players to keep Shared Inventory Slots on their own row or have them embedded into the bag-slot grid view.

Oh. Sounds like that’s what I was hoping for. Where the shared slots won’t move when I scroll through my inventory.

But it seems to be bugged as that isn’t happening (Embed option grayed out and can’t use). Probably because of how I have my inventory sized?

I haven’t tried it (mine is greyed-out), but I thought it would only apply when using the ‘Hide Bags’ option. /shrug

Edit: And so I went and tried it…that’s what it is for; with the ‘Hide Bags’ option, you can have the Shared Slots embedded into the grid, or kept out on a separate row.

There you have it! =)

That’s the problem. As you can see in the patch notes, it says nothing about it only working if you have your bags hidden.

I hate having my bags hidden. I have different bags for crafting materials, junk items, and invisible bag, as well as having various items I always carry with me in a specific bag. If I have my bags hidden, everything would wind up as 1 giant mess of crap.

Edit: I also don’t see any option to move the shared slots to the bottom of the window. You could be right that these new options are only available if your bags are hidden. But I have my inventory window set up just the way I like it. Hopefully they can find a way to make it work when bags aren’t hidden.

if you have it toggled to have the different bags show separately then of course you can’t have show separately and imbed into the rest at the same time. The two things are opposite.

To move the Shared Inventory Slots, mouse-over the ‘Bag’ and drag it down to the bottom of the other bags.

I don’t think one can expect to embed a ‘bag’ (which is what the Shared Inventory Slots are) into another bag. Not sure what the purpose would be. If you are looking to have less scrolling, you might consider making your inventory wider; otherwise I can’t think of why embedding would be desirable.

I checked out imbed on mine when it came out.

When you look at the shared slots unimbeded, they’ll have an unused number of spaces after the last one to the end of that row. Then it drops down a row and the rest of the bags begin. What imbedding does is remove the blank spaces that are after the account wide slots and the first bag starts immediately after the end of the account wide slots.

It’s more an aesthetic thing I think. It really bothered some people to have a few slots, a lot of blank space to the end of the top row then start the rest of the inventory.
