(I’m just gonna toss out a random idea I had)

Is it possible to have a pack animal follow your character around, like a miniature, but it can open some more storage slots for you?

And if possible, it would be fun to have various types of pack animals like we do in real life – reindeer, llamas, yaks, dogs, camels, elephants, goats, etc.

(I would put Google image links up, but IDK if they are allowed in this forum. But if you want to see/find any examples you can search “reindeer nomads”, “pack llamas” & “pack goats” (theres 1 pic of a goat with rifles strapped to its sides – looks like an engineer’s pet in my opinion. Hahaha) …(if you can find them there’s also a pic of a reindeer with a satellite dish & plastic jugs on its back, and a black & white pic of a mule with what looks like a bazooka on its back.)) LOL

Thanks for your time.

…and they go great with my mount! :O

I’d just as soon they simply add another bag slot, rather than add more visual clutter. Or add another set of 5 shared slots.

I’m reminded of the floating cargo disk in Horizons… When it was empty, you’d stow it in your normal inventory (i think, it’s been a while). But when you deployed/activated it, it’d follow you around and give you a lot of extra inventory space. While it was following you, it’d greatly reduce your movement speed. But, you could dock it at any time (make it stationary) and run about w/o it following you or hurting your speed.

It wasn’t fun when you parked the sucker and forgot where you left it, ROFL.

It was an interesting mechanic in Horizons, I thought… not sure how feasible/useful it’d be for GW2, but thanks for the moment of nostalgia.

Agreed: I’d rather have another bag slot than another non-inventory storage place to manage.

Or they could sell permanent bank access in the gem store and then you’d have access to your bank and the inventory slots there any time you wanted.

Be careful what you ask for
ANet may give it to you.

They should remove every bag slot and leave only one with like 4-5 slots… How is possible to wield a full set of equipment and also carry 20 blue weapons, 30 lootbags, 40 armor pieces, etc? it isnt realistic T_T

And plz don’t reply with: While fighting dragons using magic is realistic right? haven’t you ever read “Harry Potter”? The books are based on a true story…

The truth is out there!!!

You can buy it off the TP. 3500 gold is the current price, which is equivalent to 17,500 gems if you convert coin. Even if ANet charged only 11%, that would still be 2,000 gems. I suppose they could (and folks like me that bought them at recent market rates would feel a bit foolish; I can live with that, although I imagine many would be upse).

I bought one back when it was 700 gold. I had to get that much gold by selling everything in my inventory but it was well worth it. I posted shortly after that in the Gem Store thread telling ANet they should really make the permanent bank access a direct purchase gemstore item as it’s such a QoL improvement, but of course they didn’t.
