Some really nice quality-of-life improvements have been implemented in the latest update for Guild Wars 2.
There are so many skills and items available in Guild Wars 2 that most players would resort to changing their input bindings to make things easier. That said, modifying input bindings every time when switching machines is really inconvenient.
So, the developers have included a nifty feature in this update that allows players to save their custom bindings locally, which they can then use across other devices they play on. The exported settings are found in a new folder located in the same directory as the screenshots folder. Players can quickly change to any of their custom bindings simply by importing them in the game.
In addition, the Primordus legendary variant skin collection is now available. Players can speak with Leivas after they’ve unlocked any Aurene-based legendary weapon to start collecting these skins.
Changelog
- The Challenge Mode for Strike Mission: Old Lion's Court is now available for those looking to face Scarlet's most devious watchknight threat! Players who defeat this challenging encounter can purchase new rewards.
