Template Organization

I have a neat little suggestion (atleast to mean) that helps you with organization. When you save templates, you should be able to place the builds in folders for organization. Like if you save a Monk build, you should be placed into the monk folder, then be placed on the secondary profession of the monk. This would make it easy to find builds and organize that messy template list. You could also organize it based on PvP and PvE builds. Just a suggestion.

I have many times thought that they should do this, I guess great minds think alike. xD

I save all my builds like so:

[PvE][Ritualist] Spirit Spam

or

[PvP][Ritualist] Glass Arrows

its not dieal but it helps alot more

This update, like many, is long overdue. Template Organization would make things so much easier, and faster when grouping. /Signed.

This update, like many.... HAS ALREADY BEEN IMPLEMENTED.

Yea for all us noobs out there who don't know how to put them in folders. How bout you explain? ^^ :P

You have to edit the folders yourself.

Just because it can be done now by fiddling with the program, that doesn't mean A.net can't impliment it themselves (in fact, just the opposite, its clearly such an easy fix that a.net could do it in a matter of seconds). Convience for everybody is always good. Keep in mind only like .5% of the GW population reads up on forums. This would benefit everybody.

My guess is that this is a very tedious programming assignment if they were to implement something like this, since it took them weeks to put out a "simple" code like checking for NPC count on both teams and updating ViO in GvG right now. This is probably a result of sloppy coding in the original making of the game, and now they suffer from the inability to easily add new things into the game.

This would be on the lowest of priorities, mainly because they're focusing their efforts on GW2 as well as bugs, useful updates, etc. This is an update that'll make it a little more convenient to sort stuff, but why would they do it if you can already do it yourself.

Open to where your templates folder are...
eg. C:/games/Guildwars/Templates/Skills

once you're there, just create new folders, and name them like Mesmer, Elementalist, Warrior for example, and put the skill templates into them respectively....

You can.
Create new folders in the Skills section in GW on your harddrive.

Firestone explained it best.

But I think it's possible ingame, I've done it before, but I don't know how...

I'm too lazy to make my own folders, please be able to create them in-game.

I love being lazy.

/agree x infinity

You can create folders ingame by adding a \ to the names.

If the name of the template is Name\Example, it will be saved as

L:\xxxxx\GUILD WARS\Templates\Skills\Name\Example.txt

Yes, but can you open the folder in game?

My templates are just a mess atm.

QFT.

Lazy people FTL.

my templates are a mess
sometimes gotta search ten minutes for a build

If this was put in game, it would take, essentially, the same amount of time to do it on your desktop as in-game.
