Guild and Account Storage

myles08807

Without access to exact figures I can only make an educated guess, but I think few would disagree with my claim that Neverwinter guild membership is at an all-time high and growing daily...so why haven't guild banks had the potential to expand since beta? I'm sure that every active and advancing guild out there would appreciate the ability to expand both the number of repositories available and the size of each. I know that speculation concerning expanded banking via our Strongholds was common, but that hasn't happened. (We can't even go indoors in "our" strongholds, and the NPCs treat us like their servants...but that's another thread entirely.) I'm not saying that any of this should be FREE, of course...just extrapolate the AD cost from current values and give us the ability to expand.

Likewise, our account banks are pitifully limited. 48 slots get used up right quick, with number of BtA items increasing every day. I appreciate the anti-botting potential of BtA, but again, size matters. Perhaps purchasing character slots could be tied to an increase in account bank size, with a corresponding increase in Zen cost. Yes, I am well aware of our other storage options via mail and alts, but our account banks are simply more convenient. Anyway, that's my two coppers.

I so hope you are being sarcastic...

Or you just mean that a high percentage of the exiting userbase is guilded, because that makes sense.

Yes, that is what that sentence means.

If this happens, please include this in any QoL enchancement related to guild bank updates:

Create a way for all members to donate AD toward unlocking a bank repository. It's VERY hard for a single individual to come up with that kind of AD, but it's reasonable if all members can contribute. If you do this, feel free to radically increase the cost. 10m AD isn't unreasonable for a large guild trying to unlock a new repository provided the AD contribution can be accumulated.

A possible way to do this would be to add Astral Diamonds as a currency repository similar to Gold. If that isn't an option, perhaps allow us to contribute toward bank upgrades using the SH coffer - that is, tie the bank vault to the stronghold.

Something like that anyway. The point is - we need a way to contribute and accumulate the AD over time rather than making one person have to fund it solo. STO, for example, can fund repositories from the guild funds, but in Neverwinter, those repositories are not unlocked with Gold. This is a key difference - and frankly and huge mistake.

Errr... LoL did it way back in the day by members contributing things to sell (Jeweled Idols too but not an option anymore, sadly). I still fund guild stuff by selling donated items with a dedicated broker character.

It will also be nice to have more room, maybe at some fixed price after the 8 tab.
With all the RP types (I figure asking for consolidation of RP variations is futile) need more room ! Also all the fashion, dyes, event stuff, they are being added to the game, but the bank is not...

Also personal storage for professions, both assets and resources, now with all the masterworks 20 or so resources + all the old stuff, and variety of tools there is no room for anything anywere.
