Guild Wars 2

I’ll start off by saying this game is awesome. I’ve been there done that IRL in terms of MMOs. GW2 can still use a few adjustments to make it even better

One such change is one that has come to concern me more and more as I make a new alt. GW2 is the first MMO that I REALLY enjoy leveling and everything that comes with it. Currently on my 6th slot Mesmer with Guardian and Thief left. The rest are 80 and 100% explored.

So my suggestion is simple. A character select screen that you can see all of your characters on one scene. Like a family portrait I want to see all my toons on one screen for some photo ops. Perhaps an option to choose between multiple scenes through achievements etc. Can even buff that character slot gem price by adding in a scene.

Simply aesthetic but definitely something I think about. How about you guys?

I’d like this, so long as there’s some room between them if I want to get a screen of just one at a time. Though I predict issues if people buy up 24 slots and then want to see everyone at once …

I’d like this, so long as there’s some room between them if I want to get a screen of just one at a time. Though I predict issues if people buy up 24 slots and then want to see everyone at once …

Simple solutions to these:

A) Have the option between single, or “family portrait” style. Just a small tab would do.

B) Have some characters in the back row if there are too many characters, akin to the school pictures we all dread.

My idea for this:

1) put character slots in a vertical matrix to the left of the screen: 3 characters per row as default with options to put them as 1, 2, 3, 4 per row because of different monitor sizes. Basically it will look like the choices screen for selecting a face/hair, etc in character creation.
This matrix will fill up the left size of the screen from top to bottom having the small GW2 style blur expanded only to cover the amount of characters

2) make the background of the character selection race specific adding a “live” environment from their race city
By “live” I mean, rotating the character around its middle vertical axis will rotate the background image too creating a 360* image.
This can be improved with a +/- 45* vertical image rotation for seeing the sky and the ground.

3) the information about the selected character will appear under the character, where the character slots are now, also in a specific GW2 style blur similar to the water surface swimming skill bar, without the health orb and skills of course

4) there should be the option to zoom in /out for the character in the selection screen so all the characters can be viewed properly from “head to toes” plus adding the toggle armor, costume and light options like in character creation screens would be nice.

I’d absolutely love to see something like this.

That is all.

This sounds like a very nice feature, esp. for us RPers.

Really would like to see more + votes. Definitely not a game breaker to me but oh boy would it be a nice feature!

Diablo 2 style when you create a character yeah would love to see the family/whole team and if you want to select them they highlight and you play with the character.

Something new!?

Love it, Hopefully they can do it On next patch, I have 7 80’s and xD can not do more as I will get the arrow and I wont see all my players, I want to see All I make Please Anet make it happen!!!!!

The 7 Boxes are the ones that actually fit, The 4 Black ones are the ones that get on the arrow to show more, But I would love if they just all show instead of just showing 7 at a time.
