You can bank on it! 125 items to be added to Guild Wars 2′s material storage
Players that inventories full of odd bits of crafting kit will be getting some relief within the next four months. Game Designer Linsey Murdock has been hard at work identifying items that need a home that isn’t an inventory bag or bank tab.
Murdock did state she had to be picky about she would include due to a limited amount of resources and technical limitations.
“No ,components. has been my go to up til now but you will notice there are a bunch of things here that might be called ‘component’,” she wrote. “The ways I softened but did not eliminate this rule is two fold:
allow a second tier of refinement like dowels and patches which are used cross discipline,
allow a number of scribing and cooking components that feel very core to the disciple and are used over and over throughout but did not have OTHER components in their ingredients which are also being added to storage (eg no herbed stocks because base stocks go in). “
Murdock did not grant every popular request for varies reasons. WVW Blueprints, for example, because “I spoke with the WvW designers and they felt that this would create a bad user experience for players who legit use blueprints.”
Other requested items that did not make the cut include:
Inscriptions and Insignias
sigils and runes
legendary gifts (”Too many. Too niche,” Murdock stated.)
Piles of Silky Sand, food, and other consumables.
SAB Baubles and Bubble Baubles (Technical issues)
Guild Hall trophy items
As for when the material storage update will be sent to player, Murdock did not have an exact timeline but did hint at a personal deadline.
“I normally say ‘no promises!’” she said, “but in this case, I promise that I refuse to let this go a whole year since my original post without shipping.”
The full list of the items headed to storage and sources can be found after the jump.
