Looking forward to pushing the servers to their limits again this weekend.

Nice updates

[canvox 285]

I guess not a lot of PVP this week, eh?

[ZYBAK 2,931]

Was hoping for local banks of some kind. This update means that nobody is going to have any real inventory since you can instantly bank everything of value.

 

Obviously this is temporary and I'm sure this was done to get as many item transfers as possible to find potential bugs.

 

Patience is a virtue I guess

[capntastic 189]

I originally read it as "you can transfer one item stack every two minutes" and thought that was a good compromise

Either way, will be fun to try out

Exciting, one step closer to launch! I can't wait to see the vessel system...

I did receive 3 purple ores from a chest, so i'm guessing higher than green is going to be available via harvesting.

This is great for testing.

Can transfer as much as you want, items are locked however for 2 minutes before you can take them back, also item is locked for 2 mins when you remove it from bank, so cant craft using it straight away.

Yeah I just meant the way I originally read it (slow, deliberate transfers, spaced out) would mean people have to carry stuff on their inventory personally and be cautious about what they have on them.

Chugging along towards launch!

So, do we need to be in a certain place in the CW to transfer inventory into the spirit account?

 

It looks like we can just do this anywhere.

[Hyriol 1,000]

Currently, you can do it from any location.  They've added another tab on your character menu.  (In addition to crafting, runes, etc.)

Seems like it is anywhere, which is nice for testing periods. Might actually bother logging in a bit more to try out crafting/gathering and what not that I typically don't care for.

I would like local banks more. It would be better if you had to travel to a chest or another POI to transfer stuff out.

 

Totally get that this is testing, but can you release some sort of POI to keep the PVP players active?

[Sioncent 194]

Great to see this added into the game. I have been waiting to test this!!

[coolwaters 4,841]

I like it for several reasons during the test. This allows new players to start in Sanctuary and get basic gear to their bank and then log into the real servers. It also allows new players to have a real shot at crafting advanced gear.

 

Yes, it will change a lot and yes it will be more restrictive ultimately in several ways, but I think this is good for the testing population.

if you die with stuff transferring, can it be looted?

[coolwaters 4,841]

if you die with stuff transferring, can it be looted?

 

That's my theory. Was about to test it when the servers went down today.
