Because 4 greater bags + the initial bag isn't enough and I don't want to have to go back to PE to send a receive stuff from my bank/mail/alts.

When equipping (example: enchanting an item) from the mini-item menu on character sheet - items in your Bank Shared Slots will be available for selection. This saves you inventory bag space. For example: enchantments, armor parts, etc.
Mounts should be slottible skills (like almost every other popular mmo) rather than items put in slots. its beyond me why they went with this highly outdated idea. They would sell more mounts.
This way you can pay a second time to fill those bag slots and get more space.

Stables for mounts, inn/zoo for companions, bank for currency and some kind of storage for items (ok let be it the bank). It could be a vagon accessible at entry point of each map (not lair/dungeon; only at start of the instances as are accessible on the overworld map - camp in dread ring as an example). Then the bags would be only the initial and those from quests, additional bags would increase the vagon storage. Make ur decision of what ull need in the lair/dungeon, same as u have to decide what to hang on the belt (quickslots). Or whatever.
Bah thats the weather am overheated, thinking about things which will never happen in flat third person shooter. Its already a simple table with additional rows u can pay for, not a bag u have to manage, not a rpg where u should think about what ull need on ur next journey...
Agreed to all of this.
I buy a lot of stuff, but for me mounts are easy because they're account-bound. I'm running out of stuff to buy (no more Companions for me, I have way more than I can use, even with 14 character slots). But I have a lot of fun switching-out mounts all the time, and there are more I'd like to get (I don't have any big cats, yet, for example - willing to buy.).
But until there is a better inventory solution for them... Ummm, no.
what we really need, as other said and let me add too.
1. make quest item as journal update, non-physical item upon pick ups (as requested by players)
2. mount tab (as requested by other players)
3. new tab for "Dress-up" appearances
4. specail "storage" box for bank vault for festival items (masks, costumes, and festival foods or potions).
5. make pets in new tab, and expand companions idle inventory, and allow them to retain jeweleries, dont under stand why they get popped out when going idle mode, my pack are limited.
The bags (in particular bags of holding) are extra dimentional spaces that can indeed hold all that you describe. maybe this isn't clear to those that havnt played real D&D.
Another solution may be upgrading bags through Tailoring.
I posted this picture because it is the inventory system I found most useful for players.
The icons below the name "Backpack", bag and gray icons are used to display the items attached thereto by their categories such as: All, Weapons, Armor, Potions, etc. ..
The item shaped padlock serves to add another row of inventory slots, the price is at the discretion of the company, the game image to two options, one in gold another in real values.
ArcheAge also has a similar system with the image and I found the price very cheap to add slots, costs coins you can own the game.
A partial oversight on my side yet, as a real dnd goes, i am quite aware of and know what bag of holding is. If it contains more than ordinary backpack, retrieving the item takes whole round (in our case, long interaction). If a living creature is put into it, twill suffocate (most of the mounts and currently not bound companions). Also we put swords or daggers into it without worrying that the bag will be pierced and its content lost (and we have got overflow bag on top of that). I guess all of it is managed by another magic. As well as the bags weights and their weight limits.
Even that i did not want to run into any kind of discusion like this i merely try to point out that no matter how called it is, its still the same "inventory", behaving the same as the backpack in which u can put whatever u want, even binding a key to use an item from a bag instanteously. And so on...
Anyway nvm me, we can have thousands rows items table for what i care. Its easy enough to implement (and who cares bout any kind of mechanics). Just the databases will run slower and slower. Any kind of bag/storage mechanics would kill two flies in one hit: another rpg element and more storage/bag space without huge impact on servers.
hmm, concern about "server performance" regarding latency with data streamings, so here one of the original idea, create a new zone just for "Warehouse" instanced zones" to reduce lag.
we havent seen Neverwinter's other Dockyard (not that blacklake dock), unless landscape rip up and made Neverwinter as part of cliff-like and original dock were destroyed.
What the hell do you people keep in your backpacks? I'm still fine with the basic 3 "free" packs, I got an extra one for my main with the "hunter ranger pack" and it seemed like "what I am supposed to put in here?"... O.o
Bags of holding are magic items. I you upgrade a magic item it takes magic. add enchantment slots. upgraded enchantments on them add more slots?
Ha right, u dont need more bag space until u dont have more bag space. Sadly we r actually forced to have more items. Extra set for pvp as an example.
As for the mounts or anything/everything collectors, backpack is not the right place. Thinking of it some kind of housing is not that unreal/unimplementable (account-wide). Imagine how many instances must be running at the same time anyway. Well thats the QoS and devs decision. In the end, u dont store the objects as a whole but references to them (and storage is no more a problem IT-wise for years).
I have one bag full of dye packs(I have at least a stack of nearly every dye pack in the game), one bag contains mounts and fashion gear, one contains spare gear sets, one contains various potions, node kits, elixirs, injury kits and misc fun things(cloak of lesser etherealness, fireworks, unstable potions, teleport scrolls, etc), another contains buff foods and spare enchants/marks/artifacts and finally I have half a bag left over for anything I might pick up in questing.

so, think about it, these get bags filled up fast.
some players are "collectors", and all that mounts and companions.
reason why, it is better to have different instanced zones that handle many data, and PE is not the place, it get laggy often, by creating "Neverwinter Dockyard" as new district made for vaults or warehouse to reduce lags, or buy a zone for storage.
adding more bags for character isnt good idea, since that character will have more data stress, with many players in same zone with larger packages will create massive stress as we all seen in Icewind Pass and Dwarven Valleys with epic encounters.
so that we need to move items for enchantments and and potions that we need to save for next major dungeon runs.
