Guild Wars 2

Hello,

I would like to point out that there is no “standard bank” for depositing or withdrawing items in Heart of the Mists. Why is this anoying? If you deposit your PvP salvage kit and other PvP related items that are not depositable in your PvP stash, you need to go all way back to Lion’s Arch to get that what you need. This is especially anoying if you think on spending glory and try out recipes in the PvP mystic forge, also if you forget to bring along your Glory boosters. Please don’t post things like “keep it in your bag”, this is not the point. So said short: What is the reason for not having the standard bank implemented in the Heart of the Mists?

+1, I really don’t understand why we don’t have a bank there.

Agree, but, I actually expect this should happen later.

What’s next, a trade post? An armorer? We need some reason to visit the capital cities.

I think your missing the point, trade post and armorers having nothing to do with PvP. I’m pointing out the items that can be used in PvP should be all accessible through either the PvP stash or they should give you the option to get into your bank account to retrieve your PvP salvage kits. Giving you the reason for visiting the capital cities for just around 5 items that are not retrieveable through your PvP stash isn’t a good reason.

Sounds like they need to fix the PvP locker then.

Spot on!

you get bags from chest so you have plenty of room to keep them in your bag so why not just keep them in your bag?

+1 I agree with op.

We could do with bankaccess there, I don’t understand why it’s not yet there.

banks need to be in every town including the heart of the mists.

This is to get us to buy those things from the gemstore.

Which should be used for banking while farming/wvw, and not wanting to warp to a town/keep.

1. So players buy more golem bankers
2. So players will not teleport to HotM for banking purposes overloading the server. On the other hand, players already use HotM as a free teleport to Lions Arch.

I agree with this

It is annoying, the least they can do is add those items like boosters, salvage kits, tourney tickets and what not into the pvp locker to make it somewhat easy. I have deleted characters with some tourney tickets on them to remake, didn’t feel like going all the way out there to deposit them in a bank to later on go on a different character and go grab them.
And i don’t want a reason to go visit the main city, i only want to pvp.

Yes please. I don’t see any logical reason that there is no bank in the mists.

I understand that they want people to either buy golem bankers from them or have people spend the money on porting themselves to a bank. However, I think PvPers should have access to a bank in the mists.

My solution is to put the banker in the far end of the map near the test npcs of each class as the distance of the journey my detract from PvEers using the mists as their standard banking area while allowing PvPers who don’t want to leave the mists to have bank access.

Why would PvErs want to use the bank in the mists? Just because its a free travel? It also has a huge loading time.

What bothers me a bit by not having a bank in the mists is: everytime i got a dye that i want to get on my pve char i have to go to PvE (Lions Arch). I could simply put it on the bank…

AN should add bank or pvp locker slot for boosts, finishers and salvage kits.

First off, please put in a bank, and second, why put the bank on the far side. We’re doing too much running around the mist as it is. Centralize the merchants, locker, ect. It’s just a pain running back and forth from my locker to pick up forge items, to the merchant to buy mats, then to the forge to make an item. Then half the time you don’t get the item you want and have to run back to the merchants.

I’m going to give an unpopular answer to this but, I don’t believe they should add one to the mist. As much as that would make life SOOO much easier, I think it would remove most PvPers from the rest of the world and add a bunch of PvErs to the mist (quick teleport from anywhere to have bank access). Currently, it gives us a valid reason to enter the city.

In other games, when they add QOL improvements that do indeed make life easier, they over time cause unintended results (mainly, players stuck in one spot and never exploring the world or interacting with others).

So, just as I hope mounts are NEVER added, I also hope they don’t add too many features that allow for players, myself included, to just stay in one spot.

My 2c….

Every item you get via PvP chests should have the option to place in the PvP Locker. They really need to make it so you can hold Glory boosts and Dyes in the locker.

I think that this is the better solution. Just make the crafted PvP armor stackable and make all PvP related items able to be placed in the locker. Then the need for a bank there is removed.

Agree.

Yeah this annoyed me. We are already completely cut off from pve, no reason why we need to sit through 2 loading screen just to grab a glory booster from the bank for an alt.

and add a bunch of PvErs to the mist (quick teleport from anywhere to have bank access).

Umm people can already port to Lions Arch and walk 10 feet to get to a bank. It will change nothing except giving us pvpers less waiting and loading screens.

Oh, but there is a reason:
The Black Lion Trading Company. If you don’t want to sit through two loading screens, buy the banker golem. Imo, it’s one of many “subtle” attempts to get players to use the gem store and the only reason why there’s no bank in the Mists.

yeah i hate this, i spvp with different proffessions and it’s a pain to get boosters/finishers from lions arch + bags I need to go deposit/change and then go back on the other char to lions arch, I have a normal HDD for christs sake.

I would be fine with them just adding pvp salvage kits, glory boosters, finishers, and tournament tickets into the PvP lockers…

This this this this this.

They would never do this unless they change it so you cannot go back to where you were before entering HotM.

I would like the change personally.
