Guild Wars 2

Reason behind this post is the new guardian changes, in which Anet basically re-arranged the placement of the greatsword abilities.. some of you might say this is no issue, and you will adjust to the new one in no time, and as this might be true, after kittenloads of hours playing a character, you dont just get used to the “hotkeys”, but they also feel most “effective”..

I really liked how it was setup, with auto#1, symbol#2, whirl#3, leap#4 and pull#5..
when this has all changed, im still able to play my guardian, and i dont believe ive turned into a complete cripple cause of this, however something feels abit off..

I know Anet have gone out and said they dont support customUIs etc, and that this never will be implemented in the game, due to this giving some players and un-fair advantage over others.. I dont agree with this, tho I understand where it comes from and Anet’s reasoning behind it..

And in this case, what i would really like to see, is simply the ability to arrange your abilities from 1-5 in any order that you like.. If I’d like to for instance have my leap all the way to the left on the #1 slot, and the symbol all the way to the right at the #5 spot, i should be able to have this; as this would imo make it more “fun/appealing/visually pleasing” or whatever you want to call it, and it would not give me an advantage over someone that did not do this..

Implement a hotkey for locking/unlocking the UI, (shift+L for instance) and when its unlocked we may mouseclick and drag the 1-5 abilities anywhere on the 1-5 bar..

I dont think this would be a major problem to implement, and i think it would make a lot of people happy; as Gw2 is yet the only game ive played where you cannot change where you’re abilities are located..

Agreed. The warrior’s rifle seems particularly in need of this.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

This needs to happen.

ArenaNet, stop trying to run away from GW1 and build on what made that game so popular. Let us move UI, let us slot from more weapon skills, give us some options for gods sake.
