Guild Wars 2

I wanted to get the Deep Cave upgrade for my personal guild, and I realised I needed the Research Level 5 upgrade for Architecture to be unlocked before I had the Deep Cave available for queuing. So I spent gold to get Letters of Commendation for enough influence for both the Research Level 5 and the Deep Cave.
However, now it seems like I won’t be able to queue the Deep Cave in time for the HoT launch. Does this mean I have actually made a bad decision and will have to forfeit the remaining influence I had bought? That sure seems terrible.
Anyway for ANET to make an exception and speed up just the Research Levels so that guilds can get the upgrades they want? Or it’s really just a sucks-to-be-me situation?

will it only be for “items” like banners? or also for MF buffs and stuff? :o

Anything that appears in the upgrade queue on the guild panel. So banners, MF buffs, unlocks, research levels, etc.

Just read through the entire thread… As an English major growing up, this really made my day. Thanks OP for starting this thread. =)

I agree. I’ve been really wanting to at LEAST be able to save my trait build. If they wanted to I wouldn’t mind if they gave us only two build save slots and allowed us the ability to buy more build save slots the way they do bags. They have to make money after all. Either way… this is a must, I mean… isn’t it!? The trait system is pretty deep compared to others and there are a lot of different routes and options you can take. Then when you have a different build for WvW, dungeons (on an individual basis sometimes), Fractals and PvP (even though you can save that separately)… it gets really difficult to remember your builds specifically and you have to rely on third party resources. I give your post a +1

I also agree to adding template system into the game like they had with gw1 but I don’t agree with having to buy template slots for something that is more of a convenience then anything. Right now I have builds saved in a folder with text docs for different classes and I just have links to websites where the builds are saved. If you remember back in gw1 the templates you had where saved on your pc in your gw1 folder under templates not on the servers they can still do the same thing in gw2 without charging you for a template slot or anything. Also with how anet seems to mess things up at times I would rather have the templates saved on my pc then their servers.

I know right?! Lol… I remember managing all those text files as well. It was fun. Those cheesy solo-farm Eles and Monks back then. Those were the days. =)

I guess we can only hope that they figure out the build template soon. I don’t think they would charge us for it (I hope).

I used to play GW1, and one feature I loved was the ability to map out a build (this included traits, armor, and weapon sets) and save it. This way, whenever we needed a particular build for a specific area, or mission, or dungeon, all we needed to do was to open the Hero panel and switch builds at two clicks of the mouse.

Does anyone else feel that ANET should consider bringing that feature back? I think it made swapping builds super easy and convenient. =)
