Guild Wars 2

I’m playing a necromancer and use consumables heavily, namely the Molachev Coctail (since necros have no native way of applying burn), the Healing Seed Pod (nice additional support for the group), Med Kit (healing, buffing), Order of the Whispers Spy Kit (blind/aggro drop), and situationally the Ash Legion Spy Kit & Telportation Gun. Thats 6 consumable items, not counting the 2 nourishments.

While I don’t mind those items wasting inventory space (I need them, so they should use the space) I really do mind having my inventory permanently open to be able to burn opponents or help with a bit healing/condition removal and I know a lot of other people complaining about the same thing.

So please, consider enabling us a consumable-only 3-5 slot skill bar that can be hot keyed (maybe using Alt+(1-5) as the default keys) or at least the ability to have a “always on top” extra 5 slot bag for the purpose of storing consumables for quick access.

Thank you.

I agree with all above!

Agreed. Opening up inventory to use consumables is awkward at best. Sometimes you want them fast. Having them as a hot key would be very useful.

+1

i totally agree, I mean why giwe us so manny Consumable items and we dont have bars for quick use
there is a lot of items what can be “linked” to that bar like: mini pets, food, potions, temporary weapons, boosts… even salvage kits
I bet that manny ppl will use that bar to quick change armor sets…etc…etc…

genarally realy good sugestion

+1 would be awesome

especially if it let us quickly equip mini pets/swap gear

Agreed, keeping my inventory open all the time kind of annoying. It’s getting to the point I’m actually getting used to dealing with the blind spot.

I agree, even if I believe it should be max 3 slots. Preferebly 1-2.
BUT maybe work like the skill-slot-ui-mechanic, speaking of clicking an arrow to switch Consumables in a small listing like changeing slotted skills.

Or 1-2 usable In-Combat and some additional slots which only work out of combat.

I really think it will be a good addition but just 1 with max 3-5 just so we don’t end up with 10 skill bars like most MMOs)

Completely agree with this, would make me take my food and not forget about it all the time

I use food buffs and minis pets too,opening inventory and looking for it is annoying.I totaly agree with this

+1 even just two slots would be awesome.

100% agree with this, we need some sort of item bar that can be toggled on or off

please let it come about

i agree it will be very useful!

Well, at least 2 slots would be nice. Just small slots above the skill bar

totally should happen, seems so strange to have us go through our bags

should really happen, yea

It would be nice if it doesn’t have to many slots

I agree with additional slots,will be very useful

agreed, i play with my inv. open constantly, and allways need to open it again every fractal.

Well the patchnotes for the 28th say some UI changes are incoming, so this just might get squeezed in, would like a official note on this tho….

That would really be great.

Don’t forget the most important thing:
Only consumables in the bar will work. That way it becomes part of a build instead of adding to it.

I’ll +1 this. I’d like to be able to refresh my food buff without having to hunt for it in my bags. more of a convenience thing like that but, yeah the combat options do really need it more.

Really need it. Very annoying to open inventory and find the things I need to use

I agree with OP. This would be helpfull since the normal inventory just blocks 1/4 of the whole screen and it then becomes hard while in combat…

1-3 slots would be great

Oh if only!! I have thought about this, and its pretty much almost at the top of my wish list atm !!

1) the ui changes were horrid for the most part.
2)max of 2 slots, any more and you basically are saying you want consumables to be mandatory part of everyone’s playstyle.

Considering how some of them are huge gap fillers for certain classes (for example the Molachev coctail is the only reliable way to cause burn as necro), they pretty much are mandatory right now if you want to be as efficient as possible.

My Idea for this was to make them work like the class abilities filling slots F5-F8, but also work like skills, in that you click on the slot and pick the item from your inventory, but can only do this while out of combat.

In any case, 100% support.
