Guild Wars 2

I suggest that there be a little 2 or 3 slot hotbar that one could put their consumables (ie. food,potions etc.) for quick use, on the screen somewhere.

heck, even if it was just one slot at the end of the skill bar, it would be much better than having to keep your inventory open to activate consumables in battle.

And people cant say consumables werent meant to be used in battle because there are some that 110% are only for battle. like the sylvari tree that grants 10s regen, and removes conditions in the area. Thats great for battle. Why would you use that anywhere elese?

Exactly Dr Anthrax,I am sure this is probably low on their priority list. But I believe this would help allot, and people wouldn’t know how they played without it lol. It’s the big things that make a great experience, but the little things that make an awesome one.

It would be nice to have an extra box on the end of the current bar for consumables, with a pop out menu for all consumables in your bags.

This could be a good idea.

I believe there’s 3 types of effect-giving consumables that can be used at the same time:
- Noursiment (apple icon) only one can be used at the same time.
- Potion (Wrench icon)
- Boost. Can use one of each type at the same time.
So there should be at least 3 slots, but there could be more.
People may use boosts more if they take less space and have them in the UI, which may slightly increase the chances of someone getting boosts in the store.

They could be linked by default to the F keys starting from F5.

Once they add this, I foresee a price jump on consumables.

I hope they don’t add this. I like my consumable prices low.

I so wish we had this… you have my vote

I would love a small generic bar (maybe at the very bottom of the screen, with very small icons) where we could put not only potions and food but also things like mini-pets, emotes, and vendor items such as the grawl shaman totems, ascalonian firestorm scrolls, healing trees, etc..

Currently the only way to access those is to open the inventory, and, even at the minimum size, the GW2 inventory window takes up a lot of screen space.

Alternatively, instead of a generic shortcut bar, just add a “minimalist view mode” for the inventory, that shows only the first X slots, with no extra controls (and bindable to keys). This wouldn’t give us easy access to the emotes, but it would be better than the current system.

I would love a small bar for consumables! Great idea, I hope the devs see this one! Even if it’s 1 or 2 slots. It’d be so nice.
