Guild Wars 2

Hello there, I beg of you, pleas let us change all of our traits around on the fly, by this I mean going from 30 death, 30 blood, 10 spite. To 30 spite, 30 curse, 10 blood. Without going to the town trainer. I’m sure there are a few good reasons why you can’t, such as not having a gimik build for every boss (you can now but its tedious and pointless), and that you need to have gold sinks in the game othere wise the econamy dosnt work. But I put to you 3 arguments in favor of adding a – button just under the + one on the traits window.

1. Guild wars 1 did it. Now its been a year or 2 since I played gw 1, but If I remember correctly you could change your attributes freely, aslong as you were in a hub, as there isn’t really hubs any more (I mean rest areas between zones, not capitals) then we may as well take that caviat out, still stop it in combat, but just have it so your running around and fancy a change, and its done, not port back, wate for la to load, go to trainer, port back to the same zone then keep playing.

2. Builds are my game, I don’t like chain running the same dungions, I don’t achi hunt, I don’t colletct pets/armor, I dable in wvwvw but that’s the only pvp I do and I don’t play the auction house. The thing I enjoy most is coming up with builds, be they main stream power houses, or be they odd balls trying to make one unused trait be the center of the build. Now I’d play the game a lot more rather than sit on trait calcs for 3 hours and play the game for one if I could play with traits in game.

3. Why not, it can’t be that hard.

Some solutions I have are

1. Add a – button under/next to the + and call it done, if your out of combat you can switch.

2. Like in wow use a regent you carry around, consuming the regent resets everything but cost money.

3. More skill tainers, put them in camps around the world more.

Just some thoughts/ravings from me, its a really nice qol change that would make me more active, and although as with everything I’m sure some one will break it and ruin it for eveyone, learn by doing, and put things in place to stop the cheats.

Thank you for reading everyone

There’s an item in the gemstore that let’s you get your trait points back when not in combat.

If it is the tome from the trainer, I thought they were only useable when you were unlocking the next trait lines, and if you have to be the top one to reset then there is no way I can afford to spend 2g all the time, I’m not that rich. The gem stor item dosnt count, as I’m not spending real money to do it. Also the current system dosnt acount for any mistakes, I was looking at the 5pt trait in death, slipped and acidentaly took it, meaning the 5 mins and 8 silver it tookhad to all be done again as I was in the field when speccing

While I agree that this would be a great thing to have, I’m not sure how to do it without making the gem store consumable pointless. Having trainers in all zones might work, but you’d still need to WP over there and pay the respec cost, and you’d want to have the trainers in dungeon entrances as well. One idea would be to put a respeccer in the Eye of the North-area, which i think all players have access to, regardless of their HoM-point status.

you don’t need to buy a book to retrait.

they have this option in the gem store. it’s silly. and it’s meant for changing your build mid-content exactly as you described.

it would be nice to have at least one more “slot” for builds just like we have for weapons. this should apply to armor as well.

given the nature of the gem store and the economic direction of this game, I simply don’t see it happening. just learn to plan ahead. I almost never change my traits once I have found “that build” that I enjoy to play and is also effective everywhere for my play style. adapting to different situations in dungeons and other content is what utility skills are for.

Not being funny but you have to confirm when picking traits so I don’t see how you can slip and accidently click a trait then slip again and accidently confirm.

I get so bored just using the same build, build swapping doesn’t really work anyway, if you go from condition heavy to power heavy, all of your items will be wrong. my mouse is playing up and some times it double clicks other times it doesn’t click at all, I didn’t get a confirmation box, that may have been as the ok was on top of the trait I was clicking, but no box came up that’s for sure.

fine I give up, I don’t understand why more fluid builds would be worse for any players anywhere and why people would say no to it, but I don’t care enough, the game only holds my attention for a few days anyway, to much grind not enough fun, I still haven’t found the right mmo for me

also works out at 5g per retrain, I played solid from release until about march and had 33g, 5g per change is way to high for me
