Guild Wars 2

So one of the issues I have with this game is at times it seams like it claims to have lots of options for build… So why are build’s so annoying to change. I mean this in the way of traits. I am one of the few players that wants to have a PVE build and 2 different style of WvW builds at the same time. I have two idea’s really of how this could work.

#1. Is copy WoW and make it so we can unlock multiple sets of them. At 5g ea or so this would allow players to buy them but it would’t pay off at first. It would just be a simple change over that you could do any time out of combat.

#2. Is make an item that you can buy from skill trainers for the same cost that it would be to change them. It would be a consumable that would reset your traits or allow you to load old build you have saved.

Both of these could be really easy fixes to a game that wants build diversity but for some reason people run the same build in all formats even if it isn’t as good because they don’t want to take 5-10 mins out of their play time to change it. The issue of “well in the middle of some random thing they could change builds” to me really wouldn’t matter because it means they have to carry a whole new set of gear anyways if they change from something like zerker GS to staff condition (mes.)

Anyways thoughts, comments, concerns?

1. Bring back build templates from GW1
2. Charge 3.5 silver every time you load up a new build
3. ???
4. Profit

I totally agree with the need for multiple skill sets on the fly. Alternatively to your ideas, i would say they should make it cost Gems instead. But for gods sake don’t make it a limited availability item to make people feel forced to spend real money if they can’t make enough gold to buy the gems through currency exchange. *cough*gathering tools*cough*

Yes, please, I need this so bad.

Yeah if it was a one time consumable that would be really pointless lol. I do agree with the gathering tool replica or just having a gw1 template style. Really to take it farther you could even do it where outside of matches in pvp you could have build swaps on the fly. It is such a simple idea (probably a little hard to program) but for being a state of the art game it is missing basic features.

Yes. This is needed. This is really needed.

Hard to program? They have most of the code from in GW1. I can’t imagine adjusting it a bit to fit the current game engine would be so hard… Not to mention that this is such a needed change that has been asked about since BETA.
