Guild Wars 2

I would love to see these make a comeback in HoT. Especially with the introduction of specializations (with more assumed to be added later) it would be nice to be able to change these without needing to rebuild your skills and traits everytime. Maybe it’s not a big issue and people tend to settle into a single build, but I like to change about depending on who I’m playing with. Plus with skills/traits being lost/gained when switching specializations, it would be convenient to just toggle templates when you want to switch.

Thoughts?

I agree. A drop down menu to pick the specialization you want to use(when there are actually more than one of course). The thing I don’t want to see is a limited number of templates like f2p games adopt. I get why f2p games do it. That is where there income lies, but I’d like to see it be as many templates as you want to save like in GW1. There isn’t as much build/skill diversity in this game for each profession, but it would be nicer to have GW1’s system rather than, “You get two free template saves and the others cost you 400 gems each.” My hope is it gets rolled out with the x-pac and we get it included in the download/box price as opposed to them rolling it out six weeks after the fact and charging us gems for extra templates.

Exactly! That was an awesome feature in GW1 and while there is not quite as much diversity available in GW2 it would still be a big convenience I think.

Also good point, if this is considered/planned, please don’t limit them beyond use and then charge gems for more.

I’m waiting for this feature as I just cba with switching between traits all the time between farming / dungeon / etc.

Maybe a feature pack will add it. I believe they are going to add feature packs between now and HoT.
