Does it bother anyone else that we don’t have the ability to save/load builds in this game? I’m primarily talking about PvP because of all the build testing and swapping going on all the time.
It’s always bugged me that this game didn’t have that feature, but what’s really funny is that even a new player to this game thinks it should be there too.
I recently recruited two friends to buy this game so we could all play together. One of them shortly after starting this game broke his laptop so we’re waiting for him to return while the other plays with me on a daily basis and we’ve really been into PvPing. He loves to swap his builds and try out different things after a handful of matches as he’s still trying to iron out everything and figure out his playstyle.
Yesterday he makes the comment to me “Man, they really should have a way to save and load these builds. That’s the only thing I hate about the PvP in this game because it’s so time consuming and tedious having to remake some of these. I just want to jump into the games quickly and play without having to sit here and figure this out.”. I simply replied “Yeah I hear ya… The first game actually had that option.”.
Then it hit me…
The first game was released back in 2005 and had the option to save/load builds. It’s 2016 and over 3 years after the release of Guild Wars 2 and we still don’t have it.
This game is supposed to be the future right? So why does it lack something so basic that the first game had?
Has Arenanet mentioned anything about it or that they’re working on it?
If so, I can’t find anything on it, and they said they were trying to work on communication. I’ve saw the average request for it on Reddit every now and then, but no developer responses. I’ve also used the search option on this forum and it came back with no results.
I’m aware that the Devs can’t see everything or answer all questions but maybe, just maybe… they will see this thread. Hopefully they can give us hope for something!
In my honest opinion, it’s one feature that this game needs SEVERELY. Especially with the promotion of ESL Pro Leagues and the Ranked System.
What’s everyone elses thoughts on this topic? Would you like a way to save builds for easy access/swapping? Do you think it’s bad that it hasn’t been implemented since release or seriously talked about?
