Concise Skill Description Option[ | ]
- Guild Wars now supports two types of skill descriptions: traditional and concise. Traditional descriptions maintain the classic style and have been in place since the first campaign. Concise descriptions are a new style, and are generally shorter in length.
- The first time you log in, you get a message asking if you'd like to keep using traditional skill descriptions or if you'd like to change to concise descriptions. Once you make your selection, login will continue normally, and you won't see the message again. To change the skill description style while in-game, use the General tab in the Options panel. (Menu > Options > General)
- Example of a traditional description for Defensive Stance:
- For 1..7 seconds, you have +24 armor and you have a 75% chance to block melee and projectile attacks. Defensive Stance ends if you use a skill.
- Example of a concise description for Defensive Stance:
- (1..7 seconds.) You have 75% chance to block and +24 armor. Ends if you use a skill.
- If you find any problems with the translations of the concise skill descriptions, or general translation bugs, please report them to:
