Guild Wars 2

Make a some kind of box where it can be available for every character ‘on the go’.
It’s quite annoying we need to go to one of our chars, unequip all the trinkets, put into bank, log another char, get them out of bank and equip them on that character.

I have about 6-7 lv 80’s and all of them using same one set of asc zerker trinkets with infusions.. So each time I change character (for WvW or PvE) I need to switch eevrything back, even for 15mins playtime..

It’s cool it’s now account-bound but I think it’s time to make the next step: making it available ‘on the go’ through a separate ‘box’ or inventory meant for ascended stuff (maybe also armor with the runes?).

Meaning all Ascended stuff you got, should be in a separate inventory accessible on all characters. Not saying we need endless copies of our trinkets/armors, just a special inventory outside our bank to put that stuff in next to our slot-bags.

You can already do this with a bank access express, assuming your shared gear is in your bank.

What I believe an even better twist on this would be something like …

Create a system where you can save builds. Much like FPS games where you have “load outs.” Ideally, you’d be able to change your “load out” when not in combat at the click of a button.

Taking this even further, you can create a load out with any gear across any of your toons as long as it fits within existing rules (such as only being able to use light armor, or specific weapons, etc based on your class).

That way, you don’t need to worry which toon has which armor/weapons equipped. Simply switch to a given toon, choose the “load out” you want to use (or have a default set) and viola!

This would get around the problem of swapping gear between toons and using precious bank space for all of that gear. It would also allow for rapid build changes to suit whatever content or play style you want to run at a given moment.

You can do all of this manually now, so it wouldn’t necessarily break anything in game to make it a bit more streamlined and faster to do.

Heck, Anet could even make a few bucks off this … grant people 1-2 slots to start, and allow them to buy more with gems up to a certain number per account.

Meh … i’m just rambling now ….

Alternatively they could either a.) make ascended gear easier to obtain or b.) change ascended gear to have variable stats like legendary weapons currently have.

Isn’t that a waste of that item though? I mean let’s say your trinkets are on the warrior, u summon such golem, change to mesmer and poof.. You’ll need to wp to the place of the golem.. So it’s not rly ‘on the go’, right? It’s easier then if u use your normal bank and cheaper aswel.

Your suggestion, however, is also something I like. I’ve always been a fan of ‘load outs’ or ‘templates’ into PvP Build section.
I would love to see that with the Ascended Trinkets aswel..

I have 10… no sorry 11 now, level 80s and a single zerk trinket set which I pass from character to character to use. It’s very doable.

Little inconvenient? Sure. It’s supposed to be that way. It entices you to buy further sets to get around that inconvenience. Or to buy gemstore items (like the express access) to get around it.

Putting something in that makes something like this too accessible, or too easy, on the player is detrimental to the game and to their bottom line. It’s a nice idea, don’t get me wrong, but it won’t happen.

Well, over the years, they’ve also implented Legendary skins, right? So I can’t see why this can’t happen. They made it account bound, with the idea that ppl would transfer those back and forth. So why not making the back and forth-idea faster with just a click?

Templates or Load Outs as suggested above would be that fast way and Anet could indeed make some extra dollars out of it with the load out cap. The amount of gears/weps I have in my bank is just too painfull too look at. I got 4 rosters of bank space and 75% of it are armors/weps/trinkets. Just because exo gear is soulbound, I can’t really go anywhere with it..

I’d wager more people would spend money on unlocking slots that each character can access from anywhere than would spend on bank access items specifically for trading ascended things from character to character.

Yes, they made ascended and legendary gear account bound. To make it more alt friendly.

However, as I pointed out, there is such a thing as making things “too easy” for the players. If there is no “need” to acquire additional time sink items because you can too easily share them between characters (like an account bag accessible from anywhere), your player base is going to feel they’ve achieved all there is to do faster and get bored that much faster. It’s a retention thing.

In regards to profits, they have to weigh whether making someone repeatedly purchase a short term convenience, like the banker golem or the bank access express, against what would potentially be a 1 time purchase.

I’m for build / armor templates. I used them in GW1. However, I’m also of the opinion that you can only load what you have on you. So if you forgot something in your bank, then it doesn’t get loaded.

Uh no. Ascended gear and legendary gear is HARD TO MAKE for a REASON. I’d argue the opposite, that it’s too easy to make both and defeats the purpose of being called “Legendary” and “Ascended” … but I digress …

This thread isn’t about acquisition of gear necessarily, it’s about making your gear more accessible on the run to a given toon in a given situation.

If I can double click my Legendary to change the stats, why can’t i double click on an equipped trinket to quickly swap it out with another trinket that I actually own. While this is similar to the stat swapping on a legendary, it is dependent upon you actually owning the trinket or piece of armor you want to swap to (and assuming it is compatible with your toon).

Oh, I would also like to state that I don’t think you should be able to swap out runes and sigils with this system. That mechanic works just fine.

Yes, we already pointed that out. You should probably re-read the thread mate.

What we are discussing is the ability to share trinkets across toons without having to access your bank. If I have a set of trinkets in my bags on one toon, I cannot get to them from another toon unless I put them in my bank first.

Granted, this is probably 1st world problems in an otherwise kitten good game. But, for more seasoned payers that swap gear a lot while on the run, this could be quite beneficial.

I understand what you guys want.
But if its that much of a burden to go to the bank twice to move stuff…. then maybe its time to buy more bag slots get more stuff so all your chars got the stuff they need with them all the time.
To magicaly poff something from 1 char to the other is not something i see getting into the game anytime soon.
