This, however, shouldn’t be possible to do I think. Perhaps only being able to change builds inside a friendly objective is a necessary change.Right now it’s just two hot keys while I’m on my mount and away I go.

AlexxxDelta.1806 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 If a major MMO studio needs to cease development in order to fix a broken feature, they better close shop and do something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glass Hand.7306 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 No. Taking everyone off other projects to fix build templates won't make fixing it go faster. Software development isn't like moving a pile of sand with buckets. It's dependent on organization and process, not bulk labor.Likewise scrapping it to put people on other projects won't likely make a big difference in those other projects. The big problem with templates is understanding what the players wanted and giving it to them. Clearly that didn't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timelord.8190 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Good luck fixing this which has already hit the gem store. It needed to be good at release, not after.Don't think there will be anything as close to as good ARC was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante.1508 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 One build tabs are pointless until the gear and build aspects get joined together.. Two the prices for these things need to drop a lot to be viable.. Three we need a lot more actual slots.. and four classes need overhauls to be even viable for multiple builds.

The best rework (apart from fixing all the bugs) would be giving people freedom to choose ANet's trash templates or the superior build templates option: ArcTemplates. But that probably won't happen because of gems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raolin Soulherder.3195 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Lol, they’ve had 2yrs+ to get templates right, and possibly longer than that, since we know they were at least discussing it in 2014. If that wasn’t enough to get it done, I doubt another few months of troubleshooting will. I’ve come to the conclusion that the game, as initially designed, must have just been incompatible with templates, absent some arcdps-like workaround. And I doubt they’d switch to something like that because then they’d have more trouble justifying charging people gems for it. And they couldn’t offer it for free because that would piss off the people that have already bought gems to get more slots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susy.7529 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 No, just continue with developent, idc if templates are flawed, I prefer to have living updates sooner instead of longer wait times due to resources being spent in reworking templates.

nosleepdemon.1368 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 One of my other favourite games - Elite Dangerous just added a major new UI feature to enable the use of an in-game shop linked to microtransactions. The result was similar - horrendous bugs touching all aspects of game play. I do not understand how a UI can be designed so poorly that it affects other elements of a game that should be protected. For instance, how on Earth should a build template system be able to strip enchants? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranky wo Coffee.5914 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Do not stop all development, just roll back templates and rework them. Release the templates when they are actually tested and ready. They could also use that time to actually read the feedback and maybe implement some of the positive suggestions.

GW Noob.6038 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I'm not going to use templates, not even the free one that was given to us. The only template I would use would be one that was integrated into the game and available for free...like it should have been from the start.
