Guild Wars 2

Wasn’t sure if this was suggested but I think this would be a good item to have. Mostly to store the number of weapons I use in fractals and keep them separated from the loot drops as I switch weapons throughout the run. And lastly the icing on the cake is keeping all items in this box hidden from the vendor seller tab. Thoughts?

i agree

but it should be for exotic AND ascended gear (on my main i have 3 ascended amuletts on 1 char for AR/Goldfind/Karma… 4 ascended rings and 4 ascended earrings and i want these things to be in the safebox too ofc)

this would be very useful
i need invisible bags for things like the equipment sets i use but its annoying that i have to search in my other bags for my exotic weapons (for example because when you switch from 1-handed weapons for a two handed wepaons one of the 1-handed weapons is not put to the place where the 2-handed weapon was…)

Just get an invisible one if you’re using it to hide things from vendors.

Should be an invisible exotic holder. All exotics go in there and can’t be sold to a vender. When you switch out weapons, they go to the nearest empty inventory slot. For example, if I am on my ele and I switch from dagger dagger to staff, one will replace the staff space and one will go to the next empty slot. This makes it slower to switch back again as I have to look for my other dagger somewhere in inventory.

The system isn’t designed to support your weapon swapping for a reason.

Didn’t say it was. I said an exotic safe box was a good idea.

Your point is pointless.

No, you just missed it.

Ok. This thread is about exotic safe boxes and whether they are a good idea. How does weapon swapping enter into it? I wasn’t asking for a weapon swapping feature for the Ele. I was saying a box for my exotic weapons to go to automatically would be nice.

Edit:
I also switch weapons around on my Guardian, Ranger, Warrior, Thief, Necromancer, Mesmer, and Engineer. They all have the same problem with exotic weapons ending up in random places in the inventory. I just mentioned Ele to make a point about that, as an example, not about weapon swapping.

Really? It’s not about swapping weapons in your inventory?

Because that seems to be exactly what it’s about. The point being that this is not a feature of the game because this is not the style of play that ANet supports.

Ok. In between combat I sometimes switch weapons on my guardian from scepter/shield and hammer to scepter/shield and mace/focus and later I might switch back. It would be nice to have an exotic box where the weapons go automatically instead of randomly into inventory. This sort of thing is allowed in the game. If it wasn’t a style of play that ANet supported you would only be allowed to change weapons while in town.

Are you saying that changing to a different set of weapons should only be allowed in town?

No, if it were supported you would already have systems in place to allow you to just do that. You’re allowed to do it, but it’s not supported. They aren’t giving you easier and better ways to do that sort of thing because that’s not their intent for how to play the game. Being supported and being allowed are in no way the same thing. It’s not supported, therefore any suggestion to make it easier is a waste of time.

Just because you don’t play like that doesn’t mean other people don’t. The Devs gave each profession multiple sets of weapons with different skills. The bosses that you encounter requires different weapons for optimal combat. The game also allows you to freely switch outside combat. Unless you can bring up a quote from a Dev saying they expected people to stick with one set of weapons without ever changing, then that is merely your opinion.

Ok I call BS. If it wasn’t supposed to happen, they wouldn’t let it happen. There’s been many threads that have talked about how unfriendly things like swapping traits around are, this is just another example imo.

They support it, they just don’t have a very good system to support it. Calling it ANet’s “style of play” is silly, especially nowdays.

Previously ANet held onto their super zoom of your toon “style of play”, killing your FoV, which has since been changed. Meaning that IF what you say is true, posting on the forums and getting enough people behind the idea, may actually work.

Okay so someone read into this a bit too much. The whole weapon swapping thing Astral pretty much shares my view. When I am OOC in fractals depending on the next encounter I will change up weapons & traits to provide the most support and dps I can as a guardian. For example during Dredge in a fotm 42 I will use GS and Hammer throughout most of the encounter but at the last boss before the pull I will switch to Scepter/Focus & GS. The switching of weapons I would do in my hero panel as it is easier to access my gear there.

The only thing this 20 Slot Exotic (and/or Ascended) Safe Box would do is put the items I am taking off into this box vice the ones that holds all the loot I have collected. So at the end of the run, when I do my vendor/trade post selling, it will be a bit easier since I know my weapons I use won’t be mistaken for the loot that I will salvage and sell. In the end combining too type of boxes that already exist as one.
