Two questions about Dragon's Hoard, apologies if these were answered already elsewhere. 1) Does it require owning Claws of Veeshan expansion for this feature to be available? 2) Does it require Claws of Veeshan being unlocked on your server for this feature to be available?
Two more Dragon's Horde questions: 1) How much will the extra Dragon's Horde extra slots cost in the market place? 2) Are there any plans to increase the 200 item cap in the future?
on Beta server, Zeflmin Welikanin sells Othmir Clamshell which sets the teleporter to Cobalt Scar. There is no teleport available to Western Wastes from the Guild Hall on Beta
This correct? There were no windchill sprites in EW they were only in GD If it is GD, it is a bit late to be increasing them now when players have been complaining about these since they were moved to the Dorf Caves. Once again you do things just in time to help the TLP players after ignoreing the live players for a year.
Yes it does, account with CoV 100 slots on test, account without 0/0 slots (window still opens) 5 slots for 399 DBCash 10 slots for 699 DBCash 25 slots for 1499 DBCash Devs first want to see what impact this has, increased slots unknown even to them
I am thinking that the initial cap is as low as it is due to them wanting to test it out & check on how it performs first before opening it up more & eating up too much processing/server resource & only adding to performance problems. The idea behind this feature seems to be a way to increasing player storage without increasing load time to get our characters into the game & the fact that this storage has find functionality & listing only with the window for it open is a way of having an "only when actually needed" processing load - your bank & houses are loaded in with you when you log a character into the game. I think its a very smart technical solution but it will need time to be fully tested & the overheads for it fully understood in a live environment before we can expect it to be iterated on further, and expanded, but "potentially" this opens the door to a much larger storage solution later on. Perhaps the same methodology could be repeated so you could have a Dragon Hoard, a Smith Hoard, a Tailor Hoard etc & each one would be separate & accessed all from the same place so only one hoard is being processed at a time - a series of smaller hoards would in that scenario perform better than a single large hoard as you only access one at a time you are only processing for that one hoard at a time. Maybe one day my tradeskill dreams will come true & tradeskill hoards will be available and accessed from 2 places, your bank & the specific tradeskill container for that tradeskill. Put the tradeskill items into the tradeskill hoard from the bank, maybe with bag-click functionality to drop multiple items in one hit and only when you open your tradeskill interface or the bank will those items for that tradeskill hoard be available/accessed/loaded into the game and the container can pull items from it for your recipe.
With the unlocks already going into the market place I don't see many paying out and expanding it when there are lots of other "free" options, which are more versatile. Even a F2P mule with delux toolkits in each slot gives 340 slots, give them TS bags and you are talking a lot more. Using houseing gives you hundreds of slots. IF the aim was to get rid of people storing items in housing this is an epic fail. Personally I would have prefered the hoard to be in the inventory UI instead of the bank, openable anywhere and usable with any TS containers like it was a bag, so if doing combine all it pulls needed items from the hoard. It still wouldn't need to be able to use find unless it is open but would be a lot more useful.
At this stage I doubt that is the aim, it might be a future goal if the technology does what it is hoped though.
