Guild Wars 2

Hello. So i have noticed this. I have a character who hold all my ascended crafting materials like dragonite ore, bloodstone dust etc. I have like 60 stacks of those on him. So when i press compact it doesn’t work propely, like i may have one stack of 120 and another of 140 of the same material instead of 250 and 10. I have to press the compact button several times for it to stack them propely.

Take a look into it.Keep up the good work.

What kind of storage bags are you using on your character? There are some, such as invisible bags, that do not sort or compact.

i don’t use invisible or safe bags. You can read the post again, as i said after some times i press the compact they get sorted.

Since few, if any others, seem to have this issue, you might look to -repairing your client, in case of corrupted file(s).

Instructions found via the ‘Support’ link above/below and ‘Search – Repair’.

Good luck.

There are two mechanics that cause the sort of behavior the OP sees — I’ve been it myself.

• Iteration: the game fills up the nearest stack first by combining nearby stacks; it doesn’t add up every single stack and divide by 250.
• Prioritization: the game treats different bag types differently — i believe it looks at ‘nearest’ first & it’s supposed to ignore invisible bags (although in certain circumstances, it might not).

Accordingly, it can take re-using the compact bag a few times to fully stack everything.

tl;dr not a ‘bug’ — just the way it was designed to work (even if that’s not as convenient)
