Guild Wars 2

I’m not allowed to post this in suggestions. Sorry if this has been brought up already but I i couldn’t find it in the search box. I think weapon presets would be awesome. It sucks trying to quickly get the weapons you need (with the menu covering half of the screen) when you have an enemy closing in on you. I’m not suggesting being able to change during battle but hot buttons to be ready when circumstances quickly change and you don’t have the right weaponry right before combat. At least 4 presets would be enough I think.

They account for this with the weapon swap function. Adding more would be adding imbalance, since classes are balanced around weapon swap. (Engineers and Elementalists can’t swap, for example.) And you can weapon swap while in combat with the swap function.

Not swapping but being able to change the 2 sets of weapons you have.

Ex. An elemental has 2 daggers. The first preset could be scepter/dagger. The second preset could be dagger/focus. The third preset could be a staff. Ect

Just a quick way to get what ever combination of weapons you need with a click of a button before battle.

Its would be great to be able to change the weapon combo depending on the enemy or situation.

The coding necessary for this to work would be more than it would beneficial. At this moment weapons are stored in your inventory when not in use. A preset would either would have to store the weapon not in your inventory but in a special spot or else it would cause major issues as it would have to keep tracking the location of your weapon in your inventory at every point. As shown with mini pets the code for option B does not exist since moving it in your inventory cancels the minipet.

If option A is implemented they would have to add extra areas of storage which means adding new columns into the database tables which then requires a database migration. With over three million accounts this would take a bit of work.

I don’t know about the technical side but I’m sure they could make it work. It could be as simple as having designated spots in our inventory for the pre sets.
