Bring Back the HD-Screenshot Feature!

in Guild Wars 2

The one thing I LOVED during BWE#1&2 that disappeared during 3 and the preceeding stress tests was the HD-Screenshot.  Instead, it's been replaced with some wierd 3D screenshot feature instead.  Most gamers that I know don't give 2-behinds about 3D because it's a fad that just doesn't work well with PC gaming.  But most have high-end HD set ups for their system to really make those screens shine.

 

One of the main features of the HD-screenshot was that it would take screen of EVERYTHING on the screen, but without the GUI.  That's right, it hides the GUI instead of having to hit CTL-ALT-H each and every time (which is impossible during action battles).  This is a time saver and allows players to still see their GUI while still using it and get the bulk of what they want of the background.

    I didn't notice that they took it out, but if they did they really need to bring it back.

    Agreed completely. I'm not sure why they took it out.

    You can put : -bmp in your Gw 2 shortcut if you want to use bmp for your screenshot instead of jpeg.

    It was. Right before BWE3, if I remember correctly.
