Guild Wars 2

Is it possible to have a trait hunting reset option for those who want to hunt on characters we’ve already made? I have 7 80’s nearing 8, and would greatly like to hunt on them instead of making more new professions.

I hope it’s easy enough to implement, and obviously well out of the way for those that don’t want to.

aren’t there those little items. what were they called again?

scrolls something

Which are for utilities, and no relation to traits. You mean Tomes? This suggestion is so people don’t need to level more characters and instead can wholly experience the new trait unlocking on old characters if they so desire.

there will be new traits anyway, so you can experience it for those new traits.

(personally, I’m levelling my alts as fast as I can.)

Definitely! Having 40 new ones to hunt is still good, and a new alt after the patch is an option, but it can’t hurt to suggest.

You can relax on the alt levelling though, they’ve mentioned somewhere any character made before the patch will only have the new traits to hunt.

I was worried about this with my 80’s but I only have 5/16 80’s So I’m fine thankfully.

Well I recently deleted a character to remake it and then this came. So i’m holding off on leveling it until the update happens, but I sort of wish you were required to do it, as i’d like to on my main.

I think you can hunt the traits theyre lvl 80 content i think , from bosses etc hope this helps

I cannot create topics, but luckily found yours already here. I also want the option to have all 480 traits locked on patch.

When reading about the upcoming trait changes with the feature patch just around the corner, I was really excited about the prospect of re-exploring the world on all of my characters to earn their traits. Even though I have a handful of level 80’s, I rarely have need to play any of them outside of the few built to do dungeons. World exploration has been by far my favorite part of the game, though having completed the full world twice there’s been little reason to do it six more times with my other characters.

Then hearing about this update I became really excited for the idea of dusting off the old characters and sending them around the world, slowly building up my traits again and making them into better versions of what they once were (new traits, yaknow?). Then I read on and find out the kicker… all 480 traits already in the game, 480 new ‘things to do’ that this patch brings, are all already done for me because I already have the characters.

While I understand why it is being done this way (if I PvP’d I would be very upset if my fine-tuned build was thrown out the window and I had to explore a different part of the game to reclaim it), I also think it defeats the purpose of adding all of this content to push world exploration and then essentially telling the current players that we cannot have it.

That being said, would it be possible to have the Option to have all of our traits locked? Perhaps on log-in to each character after the patch, a simple pop-up explaining that we can have all current traits unlocked OR have them all locked and be forced to explore/buy them to use them again? This would ensure that the players who want to keep what they had can keep it, and the players (like me) who were really excited about 480+ new reasons to explore the world don’t feel punished for already having played the game.

And yes, there will be 40 traits added that I have to hunt for. 40 things-to-do is nowhere close to 520 (480 current traits plus 40 new ones), and I would really like the whole experience.
