Guild Wars 2

I don’t want to look a gift horse in the mouth but… lol, okay…

I have been playing since launch and let’s take my guardian for instance.

I have her carrying a greatsword, scepter/focus and a staff. Now we all know we can only equip two weapon sets at a time. Yet, there have been time, too many to count, where it is 3 AM in the morning, I’m tired, I’m playing and after I go back to town, I sort out my loot, sell, salvage, whatnot, and I have accidentally salvaged my staff… numerous times… countless times, cause it is in my bags and, well… oops…

Is it possible that we can equip 3 weapon sets to avoid this from happening?

That would greatly change the combat balance requirements. Have you tried using one of the invisible bag types? These don’t get auto-sorted and you can’t sell items that are in them.

First give Ele and Engis weapon swap while out of combat on [^]. PvE only.

I would like to see them allow for an equipment slot for one of each weapon type a character can wield (2 for dual-wield weapons) and you then just select amongst those as part of your active weapon-sets.

Sadly it’d be way too impactful in PvP, litterally to allow classes to 3 + Weapon swap, the limitation is there for that reason alone tbh, it’d just let classes have too much of everything.

Having 3+ equipped doesn’t necessarily mean you would be allowed to have 3+ available for swap while in combat.

My current solution: a fractal exotic equipment box in the last inventory tab and use all exotic weapons. Weapons thats you swap off automatically go there and they won’t be sorted when you compact you inventory. I just wish someday we can have boxes that takes in weapons equal to and/or better than exotics.

I think this is the most practical solution. That way balance isn’t affected and we can avoid situations like the OP had.

Really don’t see a need for this when you have many different types of bags, ways to separate your items from trash and loot, sorting…hiding and unhiding..
probably the best invetory system I’ve ever seen. Just take an extra second..to organize your stuff with bags. They’re even tabbed for you.
