Guild Wars 2

I think it would be nice (and I think it’s high time) to see some improvements on the mystic forge interface.

For one, people like me who use the mystic forge often for quite long periods of time get tired of having to re-double click the same 4 ingredients hundreds of times and watch the same animation, and do it all over again. If there was an option like “craft all”, that would make life so much better for so many people.

Even something as simple as right clicking instead of double clicking, or enabling the “enter” key to work as combine instead of having to click.

I understand the intended use of the mystic forge may not be for people to sit at it for long periods of time, but sometimes people have to out of necessity for crafting, and others choose to do it as a way of making gold.

Agreed. Took me half an hour to try to craft 250 lodgestones.

What seems obvious to you isn’t necessarily so to the game engine. Say you come to the forge with 4 rares each of sword, greatsword. hammer, and mace. Multiple combinations work, since any one of these work with all the rest. There are 43680 different combinations (counting permutations). The forge doesn’t know that you want to only combine like items, because maybe you don’t. Maybe two swords, a hammer, and a mace are all level 75 and the rest level 39, and you want to try for a max exotic with the high level weapons.

Maybe when you’re tossing exotic greatswords in, in your bid to get Dusk, you also happen to have an exotic sword that you wanted to hold on to. Well, kiss it goodbye, because it also works in combination with those greatswords!

It sucks to do all that clicking, but it’s there for a reason. I doubt the devs foresaw players cleaning out the trading post and tossing in scores of weapons willy nilly, but they did foresee someone maybe making a mistake when they clicked on their stuff.

I think something like blue prints or lodestones should get a new recipe where as you can do multiple in 1 hit rather than upgrade 1 lot at a time. adding new recipes is not a hard thing to do in the game engine surely?
ie 100 ram blueprints 250 mithril 250 elder wood 50 siege master guide
this would be a good QoL upgrade for wvw’ers
