Guild Wars 2

Dear readers and ArenaNet,

The reason why I’m taking time to write this post is because I found a couple things that could be improved from my point of view.

First of all I want to discuss the UI. Since it is quite simplistic, which isn’t that bad of a thing, it does lack some features. One of the main things I am missing and find quite annoying is a hotbar. Maybe a 3-5 customisable slots in the UI where you can put utility potions, food or maybe something else like summoned pets or experimental teleportation gun? This way you have much faster access to those while exploring the world of Tyria withouth having to keep the inventory open all the time to be able to access those items.

Lastly, another cumberance is the way decorative potions work. For example the Watchwork Knight Potion or the Selfless-/Thoughtless Potions. It is quite annoying to have to re-click those potions in order to have the effect again after you go to a different area. In my situation it means not having the visual up for max 5-10 minutes since I teleport from event to event. This means more for the selfless and thoughtless potions than the watchwork one. With the latter one it would be nice to be able to just transform into the watchwork knight whenever you want and that it stays that way until you cancel it. And if you cancel it by accident why do you have to wait before you can use it again? It’s not like it’s giving you a benefit or boost to your stats for activating it?

Thank you for reading and I hope these little but useful features do get implemented the sooner. Since I have 3 potions which you can use in combat but are not practical to activate.

PS: the mentioned potions are the only ones I have which are not costume brawl-types.
