Player Storage

Uruloki

I'd Like everyone to give feedback on the need for "Safe" Player storage.
For Example the Chest in a House.
Since there are limited Houses per Node We need a "Bank" where we can save items that will be save from drops caused by Death. This will be Very important once PvP starts.
A good example would be you are gathering to make an item and a Siege is starting. I want to put those materials in a safe spot because it's 90% sure I'm going to die.
Thanks ALL!

Adding for temoprary purpos during testing a Chest somewhere by the waterfountain of the village where every appartmentowner can have a instanced storrage. that until the appartmentbuilding is avaieble in testing. so everyone has a spot to deposit gathered stuff during the testing and not only the very few that own a house.

(could also be just a option to select on the apartment vendor that opens up the character storrage in the village)

since a character can only have one apartment he still can loose items on death but wanna do crafting and testing it a save storrage is kinda needed. so players could without worry participating in events where they could easyly die.

this suggestion is only for temporary until the appartement building is buildeble. once the change is in and a wipe happend this storrage may disapear and be replaced thru the in apartments storrages.

Merged together a few threads on storage and its current implementations here keep chatting!

yea adding some citizenship storage is needed, as it's so easy to drop mats been worked on! I assume that's what apartments will be for in the future.

I would say would be better when our storage are not depend on nodes progression

Uruloki

Good Points All, please continue to make suggestions. The biggest issue with PvP at this point is players dropping crafting materials. If you have been fishing for hours to craft and then get killed, it's really demoralizing for that player.
I saw several players hunting fisherman because they did not want to invest the time.
This behavior is only secondary to the players ganking people as they just turn in a quest and taking shards for gold.

Yeah definitely a bank would be a good idea. Hope the team implements this for Alpha Two, so players don't get demoralized and they don't lose server population during testing. Which they obviously need to stress test servers over long periods of time.

I agree players need storage, I’m kind of tired of having to hunt down players just for 10 fish. Makes my life easier, I just need to wait by the chest

Might want to make sure there are guards in city first

I would like it if a warehouse can be built in a city node or is already there.
In this warehouse should be an NPC who offers me as a player / resident a storage space for gold and you can store your resources there.

What I would also find good, if in this warehouse is an NPC, where you can donate resources for the node upgrades and get an overview.

Could unfortunately only briefly see the system itself in the A1 and found it a little confusing and so really I did not know whether my donated wood arrived or whether that currently only counts if I donate the 100 stone and wood at once.

There is storage available currently but as someone pointed out, it's only available to T3 villages and only to those who spent 25,000 coin to buy a house plot. However, storage can be a bit unreliable so it is advised not to store everything in it at this time. As of the current Alpha build, any time the server restarts, it causes villages to bug out. New NPC crafters disappear and purchased house storage gets emptied.

So, the current workaround for storage is for the owner of the house or whoever has access to use it to transfer goods from their characters to an ALT bank / mule character. Anyone else in the guild can simply transfer goods to them or their ALT bank toon and store everything safely on that toon when they log off.

It's not the most convenient form of storage, but right now its the safest and most reliable.

After all, it's not just about the here and now. A storage facility in the nodes would also be a good thing for later. Then you can go on a discovery tour and don't have to be afraid if I die now then my stuff is gone. Nodes take taxes for managing the resources and that in turn also brings smaller nodes the necessary gold to be able to upgrade or build something new.
What you have to be aware of is that if the node is besieged, the camp can also be lost or part of the resources as loot.

Please just give me a box, I get it won't be that way forever but until you get the housing stuff worked out can I please just get a box. make it one box in the town square that when we each open it we get our individual storage.
