Upcoming Challenges in the XPack

[Systern]

After taking advantage of the 30% materials bonus this weekend, I started thinking about the new challenge pack coming up. I started to wonder if the new challenges were going to include YMFMTB, Yet More Flippin' Materials To Bag. I wonder if the design team is ever going to start to think "Ya Know, we keep adding more stuff, but not more places to put it..."

The in-game-available bags are severely limited. Each has a max Stack size of 1,000. In 3 hours today, I've gotten 1800 of multiple mats that I can't consolidate into a single location. Pointing out that there's the Gargantuan Ingredients bag available is not a solution, since while the materials are BtA, the purchased bags are BtC. the weight accumulation of these ingredients is getting horrendous. And while I certainly hope that MadFloyd's "Let's Talk: Encumberance" thread pans out to results, the over effect of just adding more and more stuff without adding any more space is detrimental.

Please, I hope the new challenges don't add yet another list of ingredients. New fun challenges with a different rate, or that rewards mixed types of the existing materials would be nice. Having to get another 3 EXCLUSIVE bags to hold this stuff is back breaking.

Please. Loot is Cool, but only if you have a reasonable place to put it.

I can definitely empathize. I have two Large Ingredient Bags right now and they're overflowing (almost have the planar shards for a third!). That said, if your main problem is challenge mats, you can trade them in once you get so many - there's nothing I'm aware of that costs more than 600 of any one item type.

I think it's likely that the new quests/challenges will bring with them new ingredients - which is annoying, yeah, but what can you do? Keep an eye on the auction house for bags, or run more Sub, I guess.

If only....
From your lips to turbine's ears!!


I've got 10 thousand platinum that says we will have all new ingredients for them.
And there will be at least 20 different kinds. At least.

That's what they do!

I am unsure why you would need to hold so many mats to require 3 more bags. To hold 5000 of each mat? Mats from new challenges shouldnt number more than 10-15.

I have 6 large ingredient bags, and it's not enough.
