You can. See the

other thread

on how to do it without actually moving around Local.dat (or alternatively using a program to do it).

How does that program actually work though exactly?

@Boref.9156 said:How do i uncheck -autologin in lb. it is automatically activated in the last builds and cant be unselected.

If you are using the latest version, just remove the email and password from the saved account. If you want multiple clients, just clone that account a few times, and launch them at once.. and put in your info manually if you wish.

I notice at least one person state that those who used the system were fully aware it was an "at your own risk" situation, and that every user would be aware of any security risks that they were taking on. I have to dispute that. I don't believe that everyone knew of the risks, nor that every single user willingly accepted them. It would be provably inaccurate to state, "I knew it was risky, therefore every other user knew that, too."

As stated here, we have no objections to players using multiple accounts, when that use follows the proscribed limitations. The change today was decidedly not a means of trying to limit or halt multi-boxing, nor was it developed as a means of inconveniencing those who play with multiple accounts. If you are inconvenienced, we're sorry. But security > convenience, as I'm sure you'll appreciate.

Using the option to remember username and Password is great, but the problem is.. when you get the connection error screen.. it erases the Password field so you have to retype it again each time you see that error, this isn't just an inconvenience, this is a headache.

@mtpelion.4562 said:May I recommend that you folks obtain a password management tool like KeePass to store your credentials? It will allow you to have insanely complex passwords that do not need to be remembered because it will type your username and password into the login fields for you when you are ready to switch accounts.

I use something like this, but the problem is copying and pasting for each account, when with LB you could just click multiple accounts and hit launch instead.

The one I use has a function where I can right click on the entry and it will then put the username and password into the fields for me, so you don't have to manually copy and paste them separately.

Is that what Keepass does? or do you use something else entirely?

Yes, I can do that with KeePass.

1. Open the program/browser I want to log into
2. Right click on the KeePass entry for the account I want to log in as and select "auto-type"
3. Watch as KeePass enters my username and password and logs me in

The only hiccup is when people either use a 2 stage username/password setup, or insert things between the username and password fields in the tab order, but that's not a fault of KeePass but of the inconsiderate incompetents who don't know how to design a proper UI and KeePass does have some options to help you get around those (similar to coding a macro just for that program/site to ensure that your data is being transferred properly).

The problem is.. you can't right click on the gw2 launcher :(

@eris.9654 said:Yea, I'm not installing another 5+ 43 GB dat files on my computer.

There's no need to install anything. GW2 stores your email/password in %appdata%/Guild Wars 2/Local.dat, which is roughly 20 MB (up to around 70 MB as it can bloat with each patch). You only need to copy this file for each account you want to run.

Yep just can't run more than 1 client like this.

What about a way to store multiple login information inside the client, that you can just click a drop down menu and hit play?

This would make a lot of people happy, and it would still keep the information secure.

@"Malfrador.3615" said:Add a new command line option "-skipLauncher". This way the account information would be stored safely, but the important part of these two arguments, that the game starts directly without you having to do anything, would be restored. This would of course not help with using multiple accounts, but it would help at least partly

Isn't that what -nopatchui does already?

@Mireles Lore.5942 said:(Isn't it stored in local.dat in plain text anyway?)

Your remembered email/password is stored in Local.dat and is encrypted to your user account.

LaunchBuddy encrypts your password as well, but it seems they don't care about that either.

I agree, this change was completely unnecessary, and I am not happy about it.

But they give a lot of people pleasure, and you can disable hearing them, if you like! I would not like to take away the fun from other people, when I can manage my own experience. :)

Yeah, even if it has to be really teeny tiny, it would be better, and the interface designers are generally pretty good about that sort of thing.

I'm guessing they'll add it in with Tonics once those are ready.

[Can we get more glyph slots for Gathering Tools?]

@Aeon.4583 said:I did a suggestion to add some form of Black Lion upgrade to existing Rare gathering tools, to promote them to Exotic with two Glyph Slots. But, speaking about Glyphs. Currently there are two types of glyphs: Aditional gathering Results and Improved Gathering Process.Glyph of Industry, Glyph of Flight and Glyph of Bounty can be of same type of Glyph and can't be used together in Tools with two slots.Exotic gathering tools can have one slot for 'Adiitional gathering Results' Glyphs and another for 'Improved Gathering Process' Glyphs.

Simple ex. You can have Glyph of Tailor + Glyph of Industry or Glyph of Scavenger + Glyph of Bounty. But, you can't have Glyph of Industry + Glyph of Bounty, or Glyph of Tailor + Glyph of Scavenger.

Glyph of Industry + Glyph of Industry.. lightning speed gathering :grimace:

[[Suggestions]QoL (Quality of Life) Ideas [Merged]]

Just give it the Black Lion Hunter's Board treatment.. Mail all my home instance node materials. Leave such things like chests that require keys, that you have to manually open. The less work I have to do on such repetitive stuff the happier I am. I'm already using Glyph of Industry for my home instance because of how long it takes to go through it.

@"Game of Bones.8975" said:How much would you pay for an "insta-farm" glyph? or a double-item glyph? Imagine rich veins that give 20 pieces of ore.Limited glyph choices force you to make decisions; to buy or not to buy, which one to buy, "Do I farm more wood than ore?"

At this point, a tool that grants Karma per gather would be pretty interesting..

@Vegeta.2563 said:I would even pay for gems if it's per tool upgrade. There could even be a restriction of not allowing the same glyph twice on 1 tool.

I just feel like 1 glyph slot is lackluster and needs some love <3

How is it lackluster to have the ability to get some kind of bonus on

any

gathering tool, as opposed to only specific ones?

Once you go Industry, it's hard to use anything else. It feels so slow to gather.

I'm still curious how these worlds are going to be named. Since we are doing away with servers, I'm assuming that means these worlds will need to have a name before you can enter a borderland.
