Small But Incredibly Helpful Changes to GW2
This list is some things that, I feel, would really benefit GW2 but should also be very easy to put in.
1. A way to, in PvE, be able to see what a player is using for a weapon and wearing as armor plus show what the miniature or outfit they’re using is.
2. In the original GW, there was a really easy way to share builds quickly in chat. But now, not anymore. Would be awesome to see again.
3. An option in the menu to switch the camera to a locked behind view mode. Basically, when enabled, the right button held down would then be how the camera operates and the cursor would then be locked to the middle of the screen and hidden. Holding down the right mouse button puts the camera back how it was. Or perhaps make this a key to toggle this on and off.
4. A small ping indicator somewhere.
5. An option in the menu to disable character voices during any dancing emotes. It seems a very small and particular thing but I find I really am not fond at all of the little cheesy whees and hums and stuff your character does during a dance. :P
I may add more later but that’s I can think of for now.
1. just ask/whisper the person friendly. you will be surprised how easy and friendly you get the skins shown! no need for that in my opinion
2. agree that a build creator/saver is needed
3. dont care by myself about this. idc/idk
4. mmmh i use overwolf which have an fps monitor but yes i think such thing would be nice
5. yes pls but also for mini and an toggle to switch off back pieces from other players

- I hope this will not be implemented, mostly due to the abuse which this can/will cause (reading stats and kicking in dungeon paths/ lfg setup’s and so on…)
Suggestions to this point have been made over and over again and dismised by the community, Asking for just the exterior skin names will get you the name and it will enhance social speak in the game. If you really need to know what people are wearing fior group content use PING as add-on in LFG, - You can ping the individual traits now whichis a good step up from before, but most people still default to build editors to do so. I agree on this one, would like a build ping or link / build save/ build load
- I have no problems with the camera at all, but I have gotten used to all quirks.
- Ping is Shift+click on mini map and you can mark the normal map, shift will also place location names in chat box, shift and move will allow fro drawing on the mini map. seen by opthers and most often ignored. network Ping is located under F11 it will show you actual return times from A-Net (as stated by A-Net)
- Turn of your sounds: Problem solved. Don’t care about it tbh.0
Been There, Done That & Will do it again…except maybe world completion.

4. I think the Ping to the server is meant here
I don’t understand why they haven’t implemented a build template saver/sharing option. This was something incredibly useful in GW1 and I expected to have this the moment they ditched the re-trait costs. Why they haven’t implemented this in the first place? Maybe we will see this in the future.
‘would of been’ —> wrong
You can have your #3, it’s called combat mode.
And you see your ping in options.

1. Just make it to where you can’t check the persons gear during PvP/dungeons/all applicable modes. And in any case, if they’re really kitteny enough to kick you because you have bad gear, well they’re probably the wrong group to be playing with anyway.
3. Well I have too, but it’s bad for my right mouse button to keep holding it down constantly I’m sure. And also, it’s getting a bit annoying for my finger.
4. I was talking about response times from the server. Nevertheless, that is helpful too.
5. I’d really rather not. I’m just asking for a personal option to turn it off. Doesn’t mean you have to turn it off too.

wow you seems to be a very lonely person that you CANT ask person xy if he can ping his gear to you cause you like his skins…. you have my empathy
how you could write to us here at forum ? O.o

It’s true, Immersive Combat Mode is there but it seems silly that I have to rely on third-party tools instead of it being an actual in-game feature though.
1. just ask/whisper the person friendly. you will be surprised how easy and friendly you get the skins shown! no need for that in my opinion
Oh, I don’t doubt that they would be kind enough to do that, but it’s a pain for me to have to ask and it’s an even bigger pain for them to ping everything. Furthermore, they may be away then or busy.
BTW, be nice.

and for me its a pain to have stalker everywhere

You like it.
for friends use the api
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/community/api
for stranger just ask them.
thats all.
i guess your pain is not to ask for skins , its only about now what stats people have equiped to kick them . i am right?
btw anet should also introduce a tool that everyone can see ( not only your friends via api) how much money you have in your vault and what stuff at your bank

The build template save (#2) is the one option I really miss and would probably be the best option to have for the expansion. I run a general purpose build suitable for only one set of armor and weapon set. It allows me to wander about the core PvE zones without having to constantly tweak my settings for the local content. With the range of enemy skills we will encounter in HoT, I feel alternate weapon sets and trait settings will become more important.
Although there are a few spots you can safely stand for more than a few seconds in HoT zones (oh, no… a pun), it’s hard to find time to play build tweak/armor swap/weapon equip games before coming under some kind of attack. It might be more “real” to need time to rummage around in your magic (bigger on the inside) rucksack to pull out different armor, weapons, and trinkets as well as do some magical trait effect changes but this is a game after all… give us some unreality by letting us pick a preconfigured build from a saved list.
