Guild Wars 2

Hi,

Not sure if this was posted before, but I had this in mind ages ago, and while not an earth-shattering change, personally I would find it useful, and possibly a few other people I know would too.

The idea here is to “untie” skill re-sets from a NPC, and make them a menu option with an internal cooldown (say 10-15 minutes when used without NPC).

This would then allow for my second suggestion – a menu in the character screen to create named skill pre-sets for example:

Preset 1 – “Farming” – 30/30/0/0/10
Preset 2 – “Slaying” – 0/30/10/30/0

And so forth.

With this menu people can create their own skill distributions and use them as and when needed. The added benefit of this to players is they don’t need to memorise or write this down somewhere. The preferred skill distribution is already saved in that menu. When they want to switch between the set of skills, they either visit the NPC or Open the menu, upon accepting the skill change, they pay the same fee as the NPC charges. Bang, done.

Again, this is a very humble change, and not one that will give anyone an extra advantage over the others, but merely a more convenient solution.

Regards,

I agree with the concept of having modes. In Final Fantasy it’s called the paradigm’s. Where the role or focus of the character has multiple presets. I’d love to be able to swap my Warrior from Shout, to DPS, to Durability, etc…. It would make life much easier and more fun to play. Heck, even tie in appearance to it. Since I have different armor/accessories for such modalities. One could even change dye’s to have a greater effect.

….. Anything to make it more fun!

This would be an awesome feature and although it would make each build feel less unique, it would help to make players feel more situationally diverse, and it would probably make people enjoy their class more.

Reganov, I’m not suggesting it’s a cookie cutter preset. From my perspective, it can be just a set of icon on the games dashboard that we can assign hotkeys toward for our own custom builds. We’d need to have the items in our inventory though, which can be a healthy restriction. I wouldn’t even have much of a cool down either.

Great idea OP! As a Final Fantasy player, I’ve been thinking of this mechanism too.
