Guild Wars 2

… so I don’t have to turn it on every time I change maps! :P

That would be really cool, and they have already kind of broken the trump on ideas like that with the sab floating cubes.

I think it could be even cooler if you could simply unlock the effect sort of as an extra bit of customization. That way you avoid the whole ‘the stats aren’t good enough’ and the issue with the raid infusions that only gave +5 or something.

The newly created ‘enrichment slots’ are a good mechanic for adding auras to ascended/legendary gear.

• Ascended amulet: one aura.
• Infusing/attuning an amulet: +1 aura each?
• Legendary amulet: multiple auras?

Please, no.

Make them unlocks into a new ‘visual effects’ section in the wardrobe.

Also add recipes to make unlocks out of all those infusions, upgrades, consumables and gizmos with visual effects.

Then, once unlocked, we’d be able to pick any 5 visuals that do not overlap in the visual effects view of the hero panel.

Unlocks are always better. No exceptions.

The problem with making them effects is then they wont work with outfits. As they currently work now with outfits. Having to restart after map change is minor compared to having the one item that can change the appearence of an outfit, no matter how small.

I just wish you were still able to get the potions

My holy Guardian swag will never be

They could make effects work with outfits if they wanted.

Laurel merchant.

I’d like it to act like the food and utility buff where it didn’t disappear on map change, death or even downed.

The potions are not available at the Laurel merchant.

Good idea! I can make an angel prototype again.

I totally support changing it to some kind of wardrobe-based visual, as was done with mini pets. I use the selfless one all the time on my guardian but having to reapply with every map change or down is a little annoying.

That’s the problem from making them upgrades. They are already ‘effects’. There’s even skins that are actually visual effects, like the Bloodstone visage, the karka helmet or the nightfury and winter shoulders. They are basically ‘empty’ skins that apply a visual when equipped.

Split the visual from the skin, make it so it’s possible to apply the visual separately regardless of the skin, making them actual effects that go separately to gear in their own section of the wardrobe and are applied after gear, and they will work with outfits like backs and gliders do.
