Guild Wars 2

Not sure if this has been suggested before, didn’t look, sorry if it has.

What I would like to suggest is a small hotbar maybe between the chat log and skillbar or between the skillbar and the map.

I like to often switch weapons depending on the situation and I understand that you can keep a small window of your inventory open but I feel it is too bulky. While some of us do not have large screens to play on this inventory window takes up quite a bit of space. I personally prefer playing on a smaller screen and do not like the space that the inventory window takes up. The window shows the borders (too thick), bags to reorganize (not necessary for quick swapping), and the search feature (does anyone use that?). I’m thinking just a small bar with icons of the weapons available to that profession. If the player does not have a certain weapon then it is a blank space like in the inventory, but if they have 1 weapon (soulbound), then it would register in the icons. The bar would register in the order the weapons are organized in the inventory, so if you have two of the same weapons (different sigils), the weapon that is ordered before the other would show in the icon bar. When you double click the icon of the weapon you’d like to swap to, that weapon is equipped while the current is un-equipped.

Hopefully Anet reads these suggestions and can possibly implement this in the future.

Sincerely,
Players with small screens.
