Guild Wars 2

Not only is it a bad idea, but it seems extremely contradictory to the rest of the “Fresh Start” feature post. If you don’t know what they said, here it is:

This means that if you pick up a new weapon for the first time after already unlocking multiple weapon skill slots, you’ll automatically learn the skills for that weapon, rather than having to learn each weapon’s skills individually.

Everything else you mentioned in this post is designed to not overwhelm the new player; to ease them in. This change will have the opposite effect. Do you have any idea how overwhelming it is to learn 5 new skills every time you find a new weapon? The individual learning system was PERFECT in this regard, and I feel like the change will go against when you are trying to accomplish.

Just my feedback, cheers.

so you were learning skills INDIVIDUALLY ? on all my chars i just unlocked skills during one combat and then I was checking how they work dont expect ultimate skill knowledge from lvl15 new comer , he will learn how they work or he will be pressing 1111111 and then come to this forum to whine that content is too difficult and he cant 111111 anymore

Yeah, I though this was an odd change. If anything I’d have increased the time it takes to unlock the other skills…

I totally agree. I had to read it a couple of times to be sure I was understanding it correctly. It seems to go directly counter to the rest of the changes. I’m not sure how big a deal it is, but I always thought that way of learning skills was cool, and made sense. You don’t just know how to use a weapon to best effect when you first pick it up. You gradually learn how to use it, to understand it. This is true in the real world, too. Things that are logically consistent are usually better, to my mind.
