Guild Wars 2

In our Hero Panel, couldn’t Anet give us multiple equipment slots, so we could hold like 5 sets of armor and weapons. Which will let us flip through equipment sets, effectively changing stat and weapon skills readily on the fly. Then all you have to do is change traits by hand.

Also, storing 5 different armor & weapon sets should allow us to save 5 or so different look loadouts as well.

Thoughts, ideas, comments, hopefully some community support? Lol

they said they are working on it , and they know the community wants it , its just not coming with PoF , maybe in a future feature pack

In the last five years, I’ve seen at least a dozen distinct ideas for dealing with managing builds (including offering multiple gear slots in the hero panel, something that was suggested in BETA during 2012).

It’s clear that they know we want it because individuals at ANet have said so, multiple times. It’s also clear that they, too, want this (for their own gaming, as well as to improve the game). It’s further also clear that they have discussed different mechanics and have identified potential issues and benefits.

What isn’t clear is why they haven’t moved this to the top of the QoL priority list nor why they haven’t prioritized “good enough for now” workarounds (e.g. just snapshotting builds, letting us manually recreate them).

There’s still utility in posting about the issue. I just wouldn’t worry about whether there’s “community support” (there is in general for just about any idea) or whether ANet is listening (they are). We’ll just have to be patient while they figure out what they want to do.

Plus, even if they were 80% close, we probably wouldn’t hear about it until it’s nearly ready to ship.

For all we know, it is at the top of the priority QoL list, and they are working on it.

Even just saving Trait/Utility setups would be a godsend…
