Guild Wars 2

how can you set the path for where screenshots get put?

You cannot. However, you can download and use an alternate screen capture program and designate within those where the screenshots are saved to.

Though be sure to either unbind your in-game screenshot key if using one, or at least make sure your in-game key and the key used by the screen capture program are not the same. If your game remains set to Print Screen and your screen cap program also takes a screenshot with the Print Screen key, each press will cause two images to be captured; one by GW2 to the undesired folder and one by the screen capture program to your desired folder. No need to have duplicate images in two places on your computer.

This is also how some people take screenshots that include the cursor and hover pop-ups on the screen. In-game screenshot does not capture the cursor and hover pop-ups while other programs will due to capturing exactly what is displayed on-screen.

Also, other screen capture programs will take higher quality screenshots of exactly how your screen appears. GW2 does not take quality screenshots unless you set the BMP command line argument so it takes BMP images instead of JPG images. BMP files are quite large though, while alternate screen capture software can take PNG images and other formats to retain image quality without the bloated size of BMP images that GW2 would use for higher quality screenshots.

You can with creating a symbolic link like this :

mklink /J “C:\Users\UserName\Documents\Guild Wars 2\Screens” “D:\GW2\Screens”

sweet thanks for that
