Guild Wars 2

First off, thank you so much for the Wallet!

Suggestions:

Currency is something I do not really associate with the Hero Panel more than I do the Inventory Panel. The Wallet functions across characters anyway from the Inventory — having it open in the Hero Panel feels a little excessive and bulky.

SEPARATE SMALL UI WALLET WINDOW
It would be nice to see a smaller separate display UI window for the Wallet by taking it out of the Hero Panel, and accessing it only from the Inventory UI.

a)
This display would be the same (if not smaller) size than the Inventory UI itself — and would have the ability to be pulled to different sizes. This display would feel “minimal, clean, and quick” like an actual wallet. It would feel more like Inventory.

b)
This display would only be accessed through the Inventory “+”. Once you opened up the Wallet from the Inventory with “+”, it would change to a “-” so you could quickly close it again (besides having the close option in the Wallet UI itself — going further, can also allow a Hot Key for the Wallet).

c)
This window would have customization options (i.e., Small icons, Large icons, List format, Type format, etc.)

I also agree the new wallet is very nice! Freeing up bank space is always welcome, particularly with dungeon tokens since there were some which I only had a few but I wasn’t going to toss them.

I like the OP’s suggestion for customization options but I don’t think it needs to be removed from the Hero Panel. I think allowing it to be accessed from more than one UI element is a good idea.

One bit of customization I would like see is the option to choose elements to keep separated between characters, say gold or Badges of Honor. I’m not into RP-ing that much but I rather liked keeping my individual characters gold separate, each one with their own money as it were. I separated Badges of Honor to see which of my characters was doing better in WvW. It kept the feel of the lower level character which is now gone since I can a level 1 with a bunch of gold (Sure they always had access to the gold but as I said this is about the feel of the characters).

It’s not a big deal and I’d rather have the wallet as it is than not at all. It’s just an option I think would be neat to see in the future.

I would like a few extra things added to the wallet,

First I would like to request that WvW Blueprints both normal and upgraded be added to the Wallet.
Secondly I would ask that the Boosters be added as well.

Both of these take up room in banks or characters and it would be nice if they no longer did.

My only true argument with the wallet is that we can no longer deposit funds in the bank to save, and all the gold is shared across characters. I really liked having each character earn their own way. I also liked being able to save and having to make conscious decisions to go and get more gold for more costly purchases. This is truly my only issue, but it is a HUGE one for me and others I have spoken with.

I would like to second the suggestions above that storing gold in the bank should be reintroduced.

The wallet has many advantages, but having all my gold pooled like this in my bags make it harder to save money for big projects. Since the bank is shared anyway this is no problem: I could have gold either in the bank (stored away safely and protected from my spending sprees) or in my wallet and shared “in the common pocket” of my characters. It is at the same time convenient AND conducive to saving. :-)
