Guild Wars 2

I am a proud member of the Tarnished Coast realm, I would like to bring a small suggestion, that would nevertheless impact gaming on my realm.

Allow us the option to Choose whether or not we want our weapons to auto-sheath.

After about 10-20 seconds without combat a character automatically sheathes their weapon and/or weapons. To the annoyance of many Roleplayers on my realm.

It is merely a few lines of code, it would take developer several minutes to change it, which is a miniscule amount of effort for a very big impact on gameplay.

If you look under Controls near the bottom you can set a key to un/sheath the weapon. It’s not necessarily permanent, but a quick keystroke to remove the weapon again or sheath it if the need arises.

You don’t understand my request. No matter what I do after 10-20 seconds my character will automatically sheath my weapon. Unsheathing my weapons allows me to enter a threatening posture which can be useful in many rp situations.

Ah indeed. I’m always having to hit that button to counteract that effect. I’d say it’s ok to auto-sheathe after combat, but if you specifically un-sheathe using the keybinding, they should stay out until you put them away again (or enter combat, and thus enable the timer). That would be a good compromise for me, to ensure the non-RPers aren’t always running around with their weapons out =p

Definitely have thought about this, but I don’t think there will be nearly enough clamor for it to happen.

Also: dat Charr greatsword walking anim.

Yep, I suggested this before, though it got buried in the suggestions. It gets very irritating to whip a sword out every few seconds while role-playing, y’know.
Not to mention, I prefer walking with my greatsword on my shoulder, rather than having to tap the key every few seconds.

1. it wouldn’t negatively affect anyone.
2. It would make a lot of people very happy.
3. It wouldn’t take much to change at all.

Thank-you for the responses, I hope this will help convince the devs of the importance.

Search seems to not work for my computer, So I’m just commenting here to refresh the thread.

I agree with this.
It wouldn’t be much of a bother to code this.
