This whole thing is starting to remind me of a really old David Letterman sketch about a "burner cover caddy organizer curtain splatter screen partition winch lifter". :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaxTheGreatOne.9472 Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 I'll settle for a normal tome now, instead of a contraption to house all scrolls... we have scrolls for the cities (all of them IIRC, so black citadel, The Grove, LA , etc. ) we have scrolls for the crafting areas, the mad realm, the place where we picked up the griffon, home portal stone and a few more... Then we have not yet began considering the LS scrolls... you'd get a drop down list bigger then your screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegadez.3281 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 We should also get extra skills like extra strength to haul all these books/tomes/scroll and a speed read / map reading skill to to open them faster and an achievement to find special googles to SEE or FIND hidden things in the books and tomes.

borgs.6103 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Portal Scrolls and Tomes were a mistake. Imagine the amount of gem sales they would've had from Teleport-to-Friend stones. Maybe they wouldn't have had to lay-off a lot of people, fund a new expansion or hire developers for WvW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyncale.1629 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 I also would much prefer it if they would put the tomes of all the Seasons into one big Tome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konig Des Todes.2086 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 I also hope for more tomes for our multiple portal items, and to be able to combine them. 1. VIP Pass Tome (including Lily of the Elon) 2. City Portal Tome (combining the six city portal scrolls from MF recipes that require Halloween stuff) 3. Season 3 Portal Tome 4. Season 4 Portal Tome 5. Season 5 Portal Tome Combined into one tome to rule them all. Even if it's just a new tome , and we need to re-purchase the Season 3 and Season 4 portal scrolls to put them in manually, I'd accept that to save up space. > @"cptaylor.2670" said: > Did you forget? > > Maybe there's one back in Grothmar. I haven't played in awhile but I know there wasn't one at the episode release. Unless I'm overlooking something. Most likely they don't want to add it in yet. They added the Season 3 Tome with Episode 6, most likely since it wasnt' considered until asked for. With Season 4, however, they added the tome with Episode 1. And in between Episodes 1 and 2, That_Shaman made a twitter post with the tome's icon and the caption "Something, something, seven." Indicating - _spoiling_ - that there would be seven entries into the tome. My guess is that ArenaNet doesn't want this to happen again either because a) they want to keep how long Season 5 aka Icebrood Saga will last a secret or b) they're still not sure how long it'll be and are literally winging it. In the case of the former, they'll avoid adding a tome until either the penultimate or the last episode. In the case of the latter, they'll add it when they know how long the season will be (e.g., 4th to last) or later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eloc Freidon.5692 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 When Living World 3 introduced the Tome as "Living World Portal Tome" we were hopeful that it was going let us just keep adding portal scrolls to it. When they changed the name when Living World 4 came out, we knew that the team couldn't be bothered to implement that convenience. Having an interactive with multiple pages is harder work than simply cluttering up the game with redundant items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doghouse.1562 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Even with Portal Tomes, portal devices are getting out of hand. I (for example) currently have, that I reasonably regularly use: 1. _Season 3 Portal Tome_, 2. _Season 4 Portal Tome_ , 3. _Grothmar Valley Portal Scroll_, 4. _Bjora Marches Portal Scroll_, 5. _Spearmarshal's Plea_, 6. _Mistlock Sanctuary Passkey_, 7. _Teleport to Friend_ (1 stack) and 8. _Recharging Teleport to Friend_ And, as we all know, that's by no means the end of the list - it's simply the ones that **I** use. All in no less than 8 of my precious Shared Inventory slots - because I play quite a lot of characters in PvE, and that's the only place it makes any sense for me to put them. OK - I can be reasonably confidently we'll see a _Season 5 Portal Tome_ at some point (frankly, I'm surprised it hasn't already been made available) - but things are getting silly, and a new, general solution is needed. Any thought/ideas/rumours/announcements I've missed? _Edit: I'd missed the Portal Scroll thread._ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucianDK.8615 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 There is precedent for what you asking. With the Black lion board in home instance. You used to have two seperate boards for ls3 and 4. Then they combined them into one, as well added the trophy collection and minor mats collection in one big board.

I'm tired of using up so many shared inventory slots on these, thanks. Not just scrolls; scrolls are simply one apsect of a bigger problem. Equivalent function is delivered by a number of other objects as well (such as, but not limited to, e.g.): Recharging Teleport to Friend; Spearmarshal's Plea; Mistlock Sanctuary Passkey (and several equivalents); Home Portal Stone. And like you, those I have sit in my shared inventory slots because that's where they're needed, and I begrudge the fact. We need a solution that doesn't actively penalise us for playing the game.

I would love to see a good long-term solution. Even if you buy every slot possible it is a finite number. Hopefully the game will keep going for a long time yet and presumably there are other things to store in your shared slots. The tomes are just not a good solution, for example, they open behind other windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
