Guild Wars 2

I really think this is past due. I don’t really have anything to say besides “use all” should be an option.

I don’t mind the crap ton of loot, luck or opening gifts but at least explore this option because everyone in the world wants it.

As the great Shia once told me

Just Do It.

This has been one of the many primary suggestions throughout GW2’s existence, and while it would be so darn nice to have such a feature implemented, it just doesn’t look like it will be implemented any time soon.

With that said though, we are getting the QoL auto-loot with Heart of Thorns through the mastery system, so it might not be too much of a stretch to suggest that we might be able to get an “open all” through the same mastery track in the future (although I fail to see how they could justify putting it into a mastery line).

Yep. I think we just need to keep yelling about it until we know why. Clicking 250 stack of luck really is probably the worst experience I’ve had in an MMO.

Keep in mind this is my favorite MMO.

keep yelling

SPARRRRTAAAAAA

Been there, suggested that.

What happens when you right-click open all on a stack of 250 bags of gear or something? The ‘inventory full’ box would cover the entire screen.

Just make it open bags 1 by 1 and stop if inventory is full.

Or better, just stop with the dumb bags of gear. I swear whoever had the idea to give us bags that open into 3 trash gear items should be shot XD

Or at least, make it like Diablo III and add a “salvage all” button. But it’d cut into the value of the salvage-o-matic anyway.

Or bags in bags in bags in bags……

But yes, OP. In my opinion it is absolutely ludicrous to not have had something like this implemented already. I’ve had symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome, and I really don’t want it to become fully-blown.

they should just revamp the loot system.

Nobody likes the endless score of junk kitten blues and greens . make it such that the loot i get actually is useful , i spent 1/5 of my time salvaging crap and it is an outright crap loot system.

where is the epic loot drop? take a leaf out of diablo man, abolish the tp, make loot finder valuable

Just use a clicker to play the cookie clicker parts of the game. Also, you can change your mouse scroll to left click for big stacks.

Also, it’s ridiculous, sad in a modern Western MMO, and probably not going to change.

In the meantime, I programmed a key on my gaming keyboard to act as a left mouse button double click. Now it’s only 125 key presses instead of 250 double clicks.

Never thought about using mouse scroll, may have to try that.

Still, really need an “open/use all” option.

Artificer is your friend. Craft all those to higher quality to save your clicking finger.

That doesn’t solve the problem, now you have 250 of a higher tiered luck.

I wonder if they don’t add this function because if you tried to open, say, a stack of champ bags, there wouldn’t be enough room for everything. If you’re not standing at a merchant or such, and can’t clear space for the overflow, could this result in lost items? Potentially cause more issues than solves? Maybe they could program an algorithm that determines how much space you have and “knows” how many bags you can open, and only opens that many? How would bag rng factor in given that the system doesn’t “know” what the bag contains prior to opening it. Additionally, not just the rng of what the bag holds, but the rng of how many items, since the quantity of loot varies a tad from type to type.

I would think a ‘consume all’ action, such as for a stack of luck, would be “easier” since there’s less work for the system. However to do something like ’open all" for bags might be a bit of a nightmare.

For the love (and health) of our hands!!! Do it!

Well the problem would be lessened if we could pack those into ascended, then legendary levels :p

This may already be a thing

In the last beta weekend I jumped to all the cities and collected 6 transmutation charges. The first time I double clicked I consumed 5 charges. So obviously consume whole stack isn’t a thing, but it’s possible that it goes by multiples of 5, it is possible that a stack of 250 is one click. It is also possible it’s 50 clicks, for now I don’t know.

trans charges have always been that way, and is an odd outlier in the loot code.

why they decided to do this with trans charges, and at stacks of 5 at a time, seems completely arbitrary.

the loot system needs to be consolidated. loot bags of mats are fine still, but a way to open them all would be nice. we can sell them all as a stack if we want, after all.

I’m also sick of clicking on bouncy, wiggling chests icons in the corner and getting another box, which sometimes even contains another box inside of that, and at least more things to just click on.

for example, why should I have to double click on a vial of karma when boosters no longer effect them and when karma is account wide to begin with. it should just add karma to my total when the reward is met.

this same thing can be said for a lot of things.

250 lesser lucks don’t turn into 250 higher lucks. It condenses them. Meaning less.

5 Fine Essence of Luck = 1 Masterwork Essence of Luck
2 Masterwork Essence of Luck = 1 Rare Essence of Luck
2 Rare Essence of Luck = 1 Exotic Essence of Luck

Get the picture? Artificers condense them into higher qualities so it is less clicking.

seems like game manufacturers are in cahoots with mouse manufacturers…

hehehe yea, we do need to change things… maybe increase the chance of better loot dropping from bags, while lowering the chance a bag drops perhaps? I do like the mouse wheel idea, and I have/currently use that. It does work but is a pain to swap it around all the time. gaming keyboard mouse clickers seem a fair way to do this as well, but not sure how they fall into the no macro programs category. I would use that with caution if i were you. There is also the possibility of setting up a keystroke thru windows that when you hold it down, it repeats its function until unpressed. anyways, just a few ideas…

open in increments of 10 or 20. then you clicking will only by a 10th or 20th of what it was before.

It still means you have to click 250 times when you could just click once. His point still sort of stands even though you’re right.

People suggested an open all option since release and we still haven`t it.
Also many people wanted more emotes too and we are still waiting…..

Come on anet!!!!!

Why would you have to click 250 times? If you have 250 Fine Essences, then just select the Masterwork Essence recipe, and click craft all. One click for 50 Masterwork Essences. Then do it again for the Rare Essences. One click for 25 Rare Essences. Then do it again for the Exotic Essences. One click for 12 Exotic Essences.

Now you have 12 Exotic Essences and 1 Rare Essence. All for only 3 clicks. Now click 13 times more and you’re done. 16 clicks instead of 250 clicks.

Going to assume neither of you have done any crafting or leveled Artificer as this is just common knowledge if you’re a crafter.
