If something like this is implemented, it should be the other way around.

It's deactivated by default, but people can have the option to show the second weapon set.

Fair enough, I agree

Having a tick box to display all weapons equiped, it wouldn't really matter which came by default, once implemented. 

But I can see their reasoning. So yeah, if it came disabled by default, we'd have to go through all our characters to tick the box and display all weapons.

In my case the whole 27 of them.

 

It would be really neat to be able to carry an axe and a sword crossed over like an X in character's back.

<sigh> ANet support directed me this way. Despite me stating my reluctance to post in open forums.

This is a request for a fairly minor game improvement. One that most players will probably not understand the need for. Despite the personal nature of this request, ANet support said they couldn't do anything and I needed to submit my request here... so here I am. 😔

Like about 8-12% of genetic males, I have a color vision issue. I can cope with a most in-game content and the in-built Windows 10 color filters can help a bit too. However, there is something I really struggle with... Commander Tags!

I've had the commander capability for years, but I rarely use it... When you want to create a squad, you have to select a tag (plain or catmander... I have both) in a particular color. When I go to select one of these, there are no tooltips stating the color you are selecting. As a result, I don't have any clue what color tag I'm picking. On one memorable occasion, I tagged-up for a daily bounty in the Domain of Vabbi. I posted in map-chat "Bounty on white tag" and the immediate response from map chat was "What white tag???" Yes, you've guessed it. I had picked a pink tag but I had not realised. Yay! 😖

The same sort of thing happens if I pick green, orange or yellow; because they're basically interchangeable colors as far as I'm concerned. So I avoid them like the plague! If I have no idea what color commander tag I'm picking, I can't tell anyone what color tag to follow for an event. As a result, I don't tag up much. Even my guild don't understand why I don't tag up. I have >34AP and know a lot about the game, so they really don't understand why I'm so reluctant to tag-up. It's a stupidly simple thing. I don't know what color tag I am!!!!

Tooltips stating the commander tag color would be incredibly helpful.

Generally there is a tiny part of the population that don't like  green effects .

And rather than having people winning about future expansions  too , shouldn't there be a slider that allow us to change the color , to let's say a more "gentle" orange.

Also if the same could happen for any crystals effects (SooWon) , to be more icy with minimum colors in it . The down left  + upper right side  of it , with 15% of it's  surface to have some rainbow colors

 

Edit: Rather than bloat the UI all the time , there could be a Merchant ingame that sells : "Tourist Hue Glasses"

Hey ArenaNet,

I'm a long time GW2 fanboy who wants to share this game with my Japanese friends. I also would love to type in Japanese with them in game to help improve my Japanese. GW1 allowes you to type in Japanese but in GW2 you simply cannot. Please consider adding Japanese IME support. You don't need to localize the game just support the input method! It would mean the world to me... 💖😊

ありがとうございます！🙏💖
一緒にゲームをしましょう！

You’re not alone. Better accommodation for different color perception has been a recurring request.

[YourOnlyOne.4937]

To ArenaNet devs,

Currently, it is not possible to set the “Vertical Position Far” setting far to the left (minimum) when in Action Mode. It is currently locked in the middle (50%).

This restriction is making it hard to use flying mounts because the camera is not aligned to the character when flying. You think you're aligned to the target, but the mount is actually lower vertically/altitude.

It works fine if you are in RPG mode, but is bad in Action Mode.

Thank you for your consideration.

Please make a system where Agony Resistance is an account-wide attunement. It's so annoying to only be able to do Fractals with a few select characters.

I 100% support this request. I personally don’t suffer from color-blindness (quite the opposite, actually), but I’m fully in favor of small interface accommodations that help people enjoy the game better. Simple tooltips or labels should be easy enough to add to color choices, maybe pulling from dye color labels as an existing resource.

 

For those that might say public assistance is a simple request, I don’t feel you understand the dynamics of how difficult that can be. For every 10 players that would be supportive and helpful, it only takes the one trollish, socially destructive person to ruin it when a player exposes a personal life challenge to a larger community for scrutiny.

The programmable Meta-"Salvage kit" or Inventory managing bot:

 

Optimal Scrapping ( -> https://fast.farming-community.eu/salvaging/unid-gear) is a quite complex process, that depends on your available items as well. I would love to buy a bot for that in the gem-store, if it has the following possibilities:

• I can place my available Salvage Kits (and bank accesss and Trader access and rune extractors) inside.
• I can define a list of rules, each testing some some features of the items and do an action on it
• I can double click it, to apply the  it on a stack or item
• I can choose an apply rule to all my (not invisible/shared) inv
• I can check-box to apply it automatically to new incomming items.

Actions I would like to execute in the then part of the rules:

• open it (e.g. if it is a box)
• identify it (if it is unidentified gear)
• use it (if it is a (bonus-)consumable)
• scrap it with tool X, where X is one of the "Salvage kits" deployed
• move to mats-storage (if it has a slot there)
• sell it to HP (either immediate for highest request, or offer it at chepeast offer)
• if Bank-Access is deployed (either a stack of single use or a permanent one) move to bank

Tests to be executed on the items

• type, i.e. undentified_gear, armor, weapon, jewelery, container, material (has a material bank slot), bonus (e.g. karma bottle, wexp bottle, anything that can be only consumed), luck, other_consumable, ..., other
• quality, i.e. normal, fine, masterwork, rare, exo (not pre-cursor), pre-cursor, asc, legendary
• hp_price of item
• contains_upgrade
• price_of_contained_rune/sigil in the HP

Ideally this can be easily copy/pasted/published on web-site, that people can take it from others, e.g. the above fast farming web-site.

 

Here is an example ruleset

1. if hp_price >30s or quality in {pre-cursor, ascended, legendary} then nothing
2. elif type=material then move_to_bank
3. elif type=container then open
4. elif type=bonus then use it
5. elif type=unidentified_gear then idenfify (or: sell_hp or offer_hp)
6. elif contains_upgrade and sell_price(upgrade) > 30s then black-lion-savalage-kit
7. elif contains_upgrade then rune-salvage-kit
8. elif quality in {rare, exotic} silver-salvage-kit
9. else copper-salvage-kit

The Meta-Teleport tool.

 

Thanks for the books for the LS-parts, but still the Teleportation devices are cosuming more shared inv slots than are buyable.

Can we get Meta-Teleport tool where all the teleporter (incl. the gem-store buyable ones like World-boss, home instance, ...) can be placed into, and the be used like the LS-Teleport books, just with hierachy levels.

One of the main reseans of not buying items like Home Portal Stone, Recharging Teleport to Friend, World Boss Portal Device, Maguuma Pact Operation Portal Device, .... is that they need shared inventory slots to be really useful and the limited ones existing (I have all 28) are used for items I use more often.

This!

To add to the “re-arrange” suggestion, Guilds. I want to re-arrange my guilds and not bother the officers to re-invite me (and with the timezone difference, it's going to be a hassle).

[Vavume.8065]

Please add another service chip slot, I always run the treasure hunter chip but would love to have one of the others running also.

Eliminating choice because you want to have everything enabled at the same time is a bad idea.

Everything or more... in this context the reasoning is based on the same principle.

Or less or none. It’s all the same. Change is bad so never change.

Whether he wants all of them or more of them, it's still aimed at lowering the necessity of making a meaningful choice while overally powercreeping his character. Meanwhile in this case "less" is literally "none", so not sure what you're trying to show with this post, please explain. And no, it's not about "change is bad so never change" on my side, it's about not removing meaningful choices making characters/builds/situations they're used in different from each other. Bad attempt at diluting what I say.

I have 9 Asurans, and a single bank.

 

Please allow bank tabs to be named. My bank is organized, but I'm still spending way too much time looking for things. It would be nice to go straight to the tab with keys in it, for example.

[Nazarick.9653]

That issue would be solved by making it easy to flip between bot modules...the current setup discourages the use of all but the optimal modules (and esp. the situational ones like skiff, glider, or turtle).  Even the quickest method (porting to/from Thousand Seas Pavilion) has some issues with open world, as you'll miss some of the action if doing a meta (loading screens) and might not even end up on the same map when you return.

Whilst you await implementation of your suggestion, can you not use the 'Search' feature to find 'keys', etc.?

I can. I'm lazy when it comes to typing, if I'm holding the mouse. 

Confused about the confused reactions. This is QOL ideas, right? I assumed the ability to name bank tabs would fall under that category. Yes, I can use the search feature. But that already exists, no? Hence why I'm here. Please PM me, or respond, with why that's confusing.

just play more or buy +1 infusions on the trading post ( they are dirt cheap) that you merge into +9 with the cat bot inside fractal lobby.
