Guild Wars 2

So, I hate to compare games, but other games allow you to change the order that your characters are displayed (in the character select window), and keep them in that order. This is something I would love to have here in Guild Wars. I like having my main characters in the front (far left side), even when I decide to play one of my… not-so-played characters. I am not sure the amount of work it would take to accomplish this, but it is something I would like.

We’ve been asking since the BETA tests to be able to even sort the characters alphabetically or by age. So far the only option is… no option.

A bunch of us would also like to see more characters per ‘screen’ and be able to cycle through them more easily (e.g. press [b] to get to Black Isle Dragon, press [i] to get to Illconceived).

Some day.

Yeah, this is not the first time I have seen this over the past ~5 years lol. But, we can only hope…

Meanwhile my other MMO does lock characters in place – they’re always shown in the order they were created, and people are forever asking to be able to move them around, with one of the most common requests being to put the most played/most recently played at the top.

But I think in reality both communities are asking for the same thing – the ability to choose the order ourselves instead of having the game order our characters for us.

For some people order of creation is perfect, for others most > least played is perfect, but there’s a large group of people who don’t like either and would like them in alphabetical order, or by level, or by race/profession or a custom order that only makes sense to them.

Personally I’d like to be able to set a custom order because what makes the most sense to me is to have my ‘main’ character first and then all the others in order of priority, which doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with when they were created, their level or anything else quantifiable.

I suspect it’s one of those things which is not impossible but it’s harder than it might seem (bear in mind there is currently no UI or tech to allow you to change the order so it has to be built) and it’s too low priority for anyone to be able to allocate time to it. Rather like the website updates I need to do in my job. If I didn’t have everything else to do I could get it done in a day or so but I can’t justify delaying everything else by a day to get it done.

Yeah, I agree with you Danikat.8537. I would love to order them in a very similar manner. But, I also understand that the priority of this is so low, like below cosmetic low, that it will probably never happen. But, we can only dream….

I’d love to have the old feature as in GW, so much better.
I totally agree with you all here, and I do not see why this haven’t been added YET!

Honestly can’t see the point of this.
