Guild Wars 2

So, here’s the story:
Today I’ve decided to get rid of my 1 million karma, by going to a karma vendor and purchasing orrian jewelery boxes. Gosh, that was one horrible idea, I thought after I was halfway done.
It took me about 30 minutes of restless clicking to finally burn though all the karma, and all the new karma pots I’ve got from the boxes. I hate those, especially the little ones (that only give 400 karma without the booster).

So, what I’m asking for?

An option to mass purchase items from NPC
Purchasing all the hundreds of boxes was horrible. There should be some sort of option to purchase X amount of items from an NPC shop instead of having to double click for every purchase.

An option for mass opening of boxes/bags
Whoever came up with the idea to create these abominations that are only any good if opened in masses is either a sadist, or a masochist. Seriously…
There should be an “Open all” option when right-clicking a bag/box item.

How it should work?
The system should open them one by one until the player’s inventory is full, then it should stop, so the player can empty his/her bags and open the remainder bags if there’s any.

Mass consume option for Karma potions
A right click option to use them all. Perhaps with a confirmation window.

That is all I wanted to ask for. My left mouse button and my pointer finger would really apprechiate it.

Or maybe just don’t save up 1 million karma and spend it more frequently. Although a mass buy option would be nice for the game.

It’s not just for the karma boxes, but for the various bags/sacks as well.

Besides, I have only recently realized there was this option. Before that I had no idea what to do with my karma.

Ah well fair enough, but yeah spending karma more frequently will avoid 30 minutes of clicking. Also like I said I agree there should be a mass purchase option. Although ( unless you were exaggerating ) how could you not know about the items you could purchase with karma? I mean to get 1 million karma means you have been playing for a while now. I knew you could spend karma at Karma vendors all over the world with in the first week of playing.

I knew about the items, but not about the Jewelry Boxes which are only sold by Orrian karma vendors, and I rarely visit those zones.

Ok fair enough, Een with out the knowledge why not buy the Orrian karma Gear with your points? I realize you don’t visit the area often but you could have Salavaged the exotic gear and sold the ectos. I mean it is clear you were not going for a legendary or you would have found out that Obsidian Shards are sold by the Temple of Balthazar Karma Vendor. I mean just suggestions for the future, in the end I agree with what your saying just the reason why your asking for it ( regardless of how good the suggestion is ) is silly. I mean complaining that you have to spend a million karma is a bit over the top, although I am not bashing you now you know of ways to spend karma and make some sort of profit from it.

Happy hunting

I would also liked to see a quick way to separate stacks. Right now it automatically halves the stack and you will have to change it to the desired number such as 1. It would be great if there was an option to split the whole stack at one time to match the place left in your inventory. For example if you had a stack of 10 dyes, you could make it 10×1 with one click. If you lack space, it would only fill the space available.

There is hold down Alt and drag the item, a number box will appear and you can denote how many you want to remove from it.

You don’t have to double click from NPC, just select the item and spam buy. Much easier.

I am fully aware of this but what I mean is that if you buy like 10 dyes of same color, you will have to decide the number over and over again. At least the number should be the same as the first decision so that it would speed up the process. Mainly this is for making new dyes in the mystic forge using the cheapest dye available.
I’m talking about an option to split the whole stack into stacks of same number without doing it separately over and over again.

Other than the jewelry boxes, I can’t think of anything you “mass” buy from NPC’s where development time needs to be spent to make this an ingame option.

I don’t know, what is being bought in massive amounts from NPC’s? Maybe I’ve missed something.

Option to mass open bags/boxes again is not something that is needed in general play. While there may be some specific instances like yours where you have a lot of jewelry boxes to open, how soon will that happen again? Seems like a waste of Dev. time.

Mass consumption of karma? That seems odd. I’m not sure why this is needed.

I get what you are saying, you had a lot of karma, bought jewelry boxes and didn’t like all the clicking. But I see all that as some specific circumstances.

Those additions aren’t worth the Dev time and money when they could be doing something meaningful.

Well, there are Sun Beads, 75 of which are needed for any of the weapons they make, and all must be bought individually.

Yes agreed 100%.
I think the mass opening one especially may be a little more difficult to program than the others but I would happily settle for being able to input a quantity of an item being purchased from a vendor.

For spending Karma here and there, why waste it when you should be using boosters. A solution would be to have the slider/input box they have in crafting. I recently bought 1000 items and was tired of clicking too.

Just an advice;

Dont double click. Instead click “buy” button. There u saved half of your time but still u are right.

Even with a single click, if you want all the sun beads needed to make all 19 items (@ 75 beads each mind ya), that is 1425 clicks you are doing to that poor mouse button. Now, if there were an option to buy the required 75 beads at one shot, that would be easier. However, an option for 1, 10, 100 and 250 would be nice.

EDIT: I am not asking for it on everything, only those things people need to buy in quantities of greater than 10 to do anything with. Karma boxes, sun beads, etc. Kind of like how ANet has it on the crafting vendors.

I would like the An option for mass opening of boxes/bags. But it would have to only open as many bags as it takes to fill your inventory.

I’ve never felt more epic in a videogame than when I bought 100 icy runestones for my legendary. You just can’t get that kind of heart-pounding action from other MMOs. Why would you want that removed??

Yet another infantile mechanic you think would be in place after 8 months of a game being out. Yes, we desperately need some quality of life improvements such as this.

Even if there was no mass but slider or number input box, a simpler option could just be to have premade stacks of items available for specific purchases that are likely to be bought in large quantity. For example, have the sun beads available in stacks of 25 or the Orrian boxes available in stacks of 100.

That’s less profitable. By stockpiling earned karma and saving any karma potions you get, you can use a karma booster (alongside other karma buffs) to greatly increase your profits. In addition, you make the karma potions from the orrian jewelboxes far more effective by using a large number of them with a booster on.

It’s an unbelievable pain to click for a half hour or more, but it nets you a much higher return on your karma.

I support a mass buy feature completely.

or stick small units of Karma into the mystic forge to make bigger ones at the cost of a skill point or something. Than you can just make a few big jugs/bottles of karma instead of many drops

I would like a mass purchasing feature.

There a number of occurrences where a mass-buy feature would come in handy. Such as buying any of the following items in one sitting:

• Stacks and Stacks of booze for the Thirst Slayer achievement
• Stacks and Stacks of salvage kits for the Agent of Entropy achievement
• Orrian Jewelry Boxes
• Two full stacks of Obsidian Shards for a Legendary
• 100 Icy Runestones for a Legendary

Definitely a pain for the last bullet in that list since you can’t just spam the Buy button. You actually get a “Do you want to buy this?” prompt for Every. Single. Runestone. that you would want to purchase … yes, I actually had to go through that prompt 100 times in one sitting. And yes, I prefer to do stuff in large batches instead of making separate trips to the same general place to make the same purchase.

Also, while we’re talking about the consumption of Karma jugs, I generally stockpile those until my guild has activated their Karma buffs so that I can actually benefit them the greatest, which is usually once every two weeks during our meet-and-greet guild gatherings. That would be when I go click-crazy on the Karma jugs.
