Guild Wars 2

I think this could really use an improvement in the UI since these stack up so fast in either WvW or PvP reward tracks. Or even login rewards. They’re everywhere. It’s great. But using them is a pain.

If a character is below 80, consume all should only consume as many as needed to reach 80.

Having a confirmation per tome is quite annoying.

It’s very annoying for us that don’t have a need to start a new character. For those that do start a new character, they also have to deal with the level up spam chests as well which is nice, but also bad for your wrists.

Considering the alternative is to level a character by exploring and killing, confirmation of an instant level is a small price to pay, don’t you think?

All this option will do is create more “Give us instant Waypoints for gems” threads on here! >.<

First off, I hope you realize these things are usable by level 80s. As someone with 8 level 80s and only 2 of them were tome-leveled (and honestly, I’m starting to regret it), I have no need to bypass any leveling process. Although I do understand that spirit shards are a secondary purpose, so I wrote with that in mind.

Secondly, I really don’t see how tedious clicking can be compared with these things such as actually playing the game; they don’t encourage anything but Repetitive Strain Injury.

Finally, Tomes of Knowledge are “earned” in game aside from the 10 that are generously given to us every month, so that makes it a big difference from just wanting to buy your progression. (Although that instant 80 boost comes to mind)

I agree, for a level 80 character who is just trying to get spirit shards I don’t see why there isn’t a Use All option. You could make the argument that we are getting it for free, yet ANet implemented the same thing for Luck essence so I don’t think this is automatically off the table

^This.
At least give this option to lvl 80 chars to get spirit shards from them faster..

EVERYTHING that is consumable and stacks (with the exception of wvwvw blueprints and boosters) should have a “consume all” option. I have enough karma to max the drinking title through ales from the vendor in cragstead but the thought of double-clicking through thousands and thousands of ales is very off-putting.

The ale one wouldn’t be much of an achievement if you could single click through them all though. The achievement is meant to be there for those who worked hard double clicking through many drinks, as daft as it sounds.

Though I do agree with a lot of other consumables, and perhaps even with [Tomes of Knowledge] for post-80 characters for the shards too.

Pre-80 though, I still think the confirmation each time is needed.

It works out alright for single-purpose, account-wide consumables like Luck, but giving other items consume all or salvage all options would burden CS agents with tickets from players who accidentally used the items on the wrong character, or wanted to consume/salvage one and ended up destroying the whole stack.

This is the kind of solution that causes more problems than it solves.

Subscribe. Past 80 this is a needless point of friction.

consume all for tomes of knowledge wouldnt be the best thing because it stacks to 250. Consume X would be better, click that and type how many you want to use.

You can take a stack of tomes and split it in to how many tomes you want to use and then use the consume all on the number of tomes you want to use.

yes please give us that button!

Really….really? don’t you think that is just a much longer process compared to what i’m suggesting? am i being trolled?

Another solution is to lower the price of a new toon expansion slot from 800 gems. 250+ gold for a toon seems like a lot.

I like the confirmation (It keeps me from killing them on a miss-click), but I’d like a “Consume All” as well. Just one confirmation instead of too many.

Just a hint on what I did; align your confirmation to the tome icon and set mouse wheel to click for you. Or, if you have an mmo mouse, you can have a double click and spam it. Or make an ahk script to click 237 times.

I like the confirmation since I’m an altaholic and always have a toon eager for a new level. But I am also in favor of a consume-all option.
