I would love for there to be 3 different save functions. One for PvE, one for WvW and one for PvP. Firstly the pages would look similar to what the current equipment page looks like. There will be a button where you can manage your templates.
- Load from Templates
- Save to Templates
- Template Code
What do you actually save?
Ideally you would save everything combat related.
You will save them to a new tab under ‘’Skills and Traits’’ called ’’Templates’’.
Under this tab you can manage your templates that you saved.
The templates themselve will save into a notepad in your Guild Wars 2 file. Same fashion as GW1 did it.
But, to make them useful I would love for the system to give you ‘’template bags’‘. In these slots you can save your equipment that is then assigned to that specific ’’bag’’. Kind of like how many people suggested saving/switching trait pages would work. You will still have to carry the equipment in your normal inventory to load that template.
What do you actually load?
Once you load from a template it will try to select the equipment from your inventory that is as close to your template as possible.
For instance, let’s say you have saved: “Berserker Iron Sword of Serpent Slaying”
It will then load accordingly in this order: Sword, Highest Rarity, Stats, Sigil
How do you view other people’s Templates?
If you click someone linking his template, you open it under your new ’’Templates’’ tab. It views everything that the person saved, and there you can choose to save it.
Now, how would all of this look?
I made 2 examples. One for PvE/WvW and one for PvP.
Each of these modes would have their own slots. In my example I gave 3 icons, but it would have to be a lot more ofcourse.
