Apparently its not developed by ArenaNet but a smaller studio of former ArenaNet employees.
And Guild Wars Reforged isn’t about a one-time update; we plan to keep collaborating with our partners at 2weeks to make further improvements to the game in the future!
This sounds promising.
Well, now I know what I will be doing during the better part of my Christmas holidays.
I am admittedly still hoping for a proper Guild Wars 1 remaster or a successor that is more like GW1 in tone and game play. Maybe its nostalgia but the sequels plot and world building never reached the quality of the original game for me.
I was always disappointed that they bound the skillbar to weapon types and removed secondary professions in GW2. The possibilities for character builds were virtually endless in GW1’s system, and you could make your character really feel like your own. I did play GW2 for a while, and it was fun in its own ways, but the original still holds much more nostalgia for me.
I played GW1 back when it was new. I remember it being a lot harder than gw2, but I might’ve just been bad at it. Gw2 is very forgiving though.
Funny that GW1 gets steamdeck/controller support before GW2.
I can’t imagine playing GW2 on a controller. I had to buy an MMO mouse to have more buttons to bind stuff to.
I tried it a couple of years ago with the steam controller and the action camera. It works surprisingly well.
GW2 works surprisingly well on controller. I’ve been playing that way since launch, first with Xpadder and now with the Steam controller mappings. Inventory management and crafting are the only regular things I switch back to mouse and keyboard for.
FFXIV works great with a controller, I don’t see why GW2 wouldn’t with a similar gamepad oriented UI.
Been doing it for a while - WvW and Open World it’s been great. I wouldn’t try and do raid rotations on it.
I’ve hear good things about GW1, but never got to play it.
GW2 is my top favorite MMO, although I haven’t really played much recently, because due to the lack of gear treadmill it’s soo confusing to pick it up again when you stopped playing for a few expansions.
Will probably give GWR a try.
GW1 and GW2 are very different games. Don’t expect an MMO if you try GW1. You only see other people in cities, the world itself is made up of instanced zones. Only your party is there, and there’s a well-defined mission in each zone. Think of each zone as like a dungeon in an MMO.
That said, it is a great game. I prefer it to GW2, but I would guess that MMO players could be disappointed if they don’t go in with the right expectations.
Due to the absence of gear treadmill… It makes it super easy to get back into. Unless I misunderstood your comment. But I just came back after no following SotO and VoE and I am pumped! Playing the whole story since the very start :)
Oh and with such easy access to legendary gear the gear treadmill is even flatter. Come to us, we welcome you!
whoa
haven’t thought about this game for awhile
Ok, apparently on steamdeck? Maybe I can give it a shot this time
So some UI and audio updates?
Nice, have been wanting to play a bit again for a while now. :D
This could be really good…
Huh, didn’t expect that to ever be a thing. I never played the original GW campaign, only Factions and Nightfall, so I guess this will be a good opportunity for me to finally play it.
