Guild Wars 2

So, Hot is out, lot’s of new possibilities… When can we expect the build saving system?
Please! We need it! I can’t always use pen and paper to note down the changes to my build.
A lot of people need it!
Suport this post if you want this to happen!

I agree it would be nice to be able to save ur builds and I don’t think it will take too much time for the developers .

Yeah this feels like the next step. Really long overdue actually. Sometimes you just need to adjust your build to the current situation. I’d rather plan this kind of thing beforehand and then be able to switch on the fly when needed.

Players want it to happen. The devs (have often claimed that they) want it to happen. No amount of petitioning or whining or whatever on our part is going to speed this along. Heck, at this point, I would be happy if I could just save the build to look at, never mind to load, but for some reason, the devs continue to prioritize other functionality.

My guess is that they’ll want to wait a few months to be sure that elite specs are balanced as well as possible, for the various game APIs to be more/less stable, and then we’ll start to see blog posts about build saving/loading, in particular about how it’s actually more complicated than we think.

Of course, that’s just my guess; actual mileage may vary.

Asking is important from our side! I belive that if they hear that even more players are interested more in this function than in some other stuff they could think about focusing their efforts on the build saving system.
Also waiting a few months doesn’t make sense since even if a skill gets nerfed it’s still there and has a code related to it.
The thing that is taking time could be that they want to have all the armor weapons and so on integrated into the system, but we started to request this from the release of the game… Now is the right time for them to implement it in the game.

There are a lot of functions that GW1 had that I am disgusted didn’t make the cut to GW2

Having separate builds for pve/wvw/pvp is a great start though,
Surely this means they are working on it if they can save builds internally?

Yes. I need this badly. Don’t care if it is in a mastery or something.

It’s going to be locked behind a mastery which you can only unlock if you put 100 icy runestones, 10k ectos, 20 nightfurys and some random other kitten item into MF

Ive been asking for 3 years. Seemingly it does take a long time to do.
It took a long time to come on GW’s1 as well.

Give back template codes! And watch the meta change at an alarming rate!

People have been asking for a long time. The Dev’s even went Reddit and had a vote for what people wanted the most and nearly everyone asked for the ability to save builds. The Dev’s I believe were surprised at the response. And they still haven’t done anything about it.

Yup.

+1 from me too.

It’s good to see that many agree with me.
Let’s keep this post up!
