Max # of open containers

[Fletch]

I have not seen this mentioned elsewhere, but I seem to have a limit of 26 open containers. After that, nothing opens.

Its not a big deal, but kind of an annoyance when I am doing organization on my many mules.

Has happened everytime they've increased bank space. Originally, you could only open 2 at once. Then, they made it so you could open 16 (8 inventory + 8 bank).

Then they added 8 bank spaces, but you could still open only 16. Then it was increased to 24 open at a time. Then they added 2 shared slots. Then it was increased to 26 at a time.

Now, we have 34 total slots. I would guess that they'll up the count to 34 soon.

Kind of makes you wonder why there needs to be a limit really.

I mean originally sure... it sucked but the limit was 2.

But ever since they expanded it to 16 which was all you could have and have kept up with expanding container numbers since then, why does there need to be a limit at all?

why would you need to open 34 bags at the same time?? Other than to see how many bags you can open at once, I cant think of any reason...

Some of us have more stuff than we know what to do with Buns.

I consistanly work on mutliple quests and recipes, this requires me to move stuff off my main down to alt mules.

Its every effecient to open all bank bags to organize and eliminate extra stuff.

The addition of 8 banks slots just allows us to store more stuff on our main characters, I would hazard to guess that most of the hardcore tradeskillers have all 24 bank bags close to full again.

I'd rather not have so many bags open at once. If i open 26 bags total my frame rate drops to about 4 or 5 per sec yet everything runs smooth when I close everything.

Most of the time I have 3 or 4 open at once.

Everytime I go to the bank, I have ALL of them open that I can. Why? So I can see at a glance all my items. I have no lag issues with bags being open at all. I have all my bags arranged on my UI so that I can see all 34 at the same time (none cover others)...I just can't open them all.

On a related note, I'd LOVE it if the "Open All Bags" hotkey also opened all Bank bags (if you were in the bank, of course).

And, yes, I have 3 mules FULL of stuff already.

/agree Twist

Open all bags key that includes the bank = win

As the guild banker and a tradeskiller I regularly have lots of stuff in my bank and on mules and it's much easier to organize things and find things if i can open all bags at once. Since i've got a 20 inch lcd at 1600x1200 I've got pleanty of screen realistate to do it.

Well, I did mentionned it in the "PoR NDA lifted" thread the day The Rathe came back from the patch, but yes it is annoying... My main vendor and tradeskiller have the 26 bags opened most of the times that I hit the bank...

Where to make hotkeys to open or close all 8 inventory bags:
Options -> Keys -> category: Commands

I can't find equivalent slash commands for them.

[Grolyn]

Under key in options, select command from drop down menu. On the bottom should be "open inventory bags" and "close inventory bags" Assign a hot key to each and you can open all 8 at once.

Nothing on opening all bank bags yet...
