Guild Wars 2

So i was thinking about it for a long long time and now i decided to share my idea with you guys.

How it works? Now you can have only one rune in your armor. Why not make it that you can have much more runes there? Lets say you have a chest with Trooper runes. If you want to add Melandru runes you can only replace them. But i think we should have option to ADD rune not REPLACE it. You will have then a list with runes inside that chest from which you choose what you actually need. Just like in PvP where you can switch runes. And we all know it is possible for ANet to do because you can actually do something similar in legendary weapons where you can change stats when out of combat.

Since ascended armor was introduced it is an end-game gear that every serious players need to have. And it is not so cheap. What if i want to play my warrior with soldier gear for WvW but with different sets of runes depending on what I’m doing atm. Then i have to make another ascended armor with same stats and that really hurts my wallet. Also other thing is that we have to keep those armors somewhere and when you have all classes and you are playing all of them on multiple roles you really have to sacrifice a lot of space in your inventory.

What do you guys think? Is change like that needed or not? Lets talk about that

Have suggested this dozens of times since launch (especially after the transmutation/wardrobe change) and Devs have shown zero interest.
Sorz :/ Everyone loves the idea, but it’s just not gonna happen.

If it doesn’t drive TP activity and crafting, the Devs won’t support it. Even the new ascended changes wouldn’t had came about if not for the fact that Ascended armor crafting began stalling, and stock piles of ascended gear was being disposed of due to have no TP (direct or indirect) value.

Nothing is impossible.

Or they could make ascended runes which are accountbound on use (so can be sold/ created). Unlike exotic runes, they slot in and out of gear, but because they are account bound on use, you won’t be able to sell them after you equip them.

And maybe later down the line legendary runes? Same as my ascended idea but the stats are changeable to any of the possible runes available. One step at a time I guess.

Yea i was thinking about that too. You could add runes to your account and then switch just like in PvP, from special tab in your Hero Panel. I think both ideas are great but yours with ascended would allow ppl to buy runes once and then forget about them since they have them unlocked.

My idea would keep prices similar to where they are now because you still have to buy rune for each armor on each character you have.

Not quite unlocking it on the entire account, just one ascended rune set unlocked = that set can be moved around i.e. if you had 6 pieces of armor and only 1 scholar rune set, only 1 set of armor could have all scholar.

They would still need to buy more than one set if the wanted say scholars on 2 characters/ armor sets or be willing to swap everything over (through the bank). You can do that with ascended gear at the moment.

With your idea of adding multiple runes to gear, if you put them in ascended gear and was sharing that gear between alts then it would be the same as the ascended runes idea and as such would make the same difference to the game economy.
