Maybe Arenanet should reconsider Steam as a digital retailer for Guild Wars 2.

Posted: 12 Feb 2020 03:23 PM PST

In the wake of their disappointing 4th quarter results, I believe that Arenanet should re-examine everything, including their sales channel. You can see the list of retailers Arenanet currently uses by country at this link. https://www.guildwars2.com/en/retailers/#UnitedStates-physical

My suggestion is that Arenanet should expand their list of retailers to include Steam for Guild Wars 2. Guild Wars 1, afterall, is on Steam already. There is an existing relationship here.

Steam recently hit 18 million concurrent users. Steam has over one billion accounts with over 90 million accounts that are active. Steam is available in most countries worldwide including China. This makes purchasing the game or gems easy no matter where the player lives. Steam offering Steam Cards world wide in various retail outlets gives it an advantage that other digital distributors lack.

It's been noted in the past that marketing campaigns that don't directly target people who play video games have limited results. Coffee lovers and sandwhich eaters may have a number of people who would like to play video games but a more certain way to attract video gamers is to target people who play video games.

Arenanet's competitors are on Steam already and doing quite well. Last year these competitors were well represented in the top 100 revenue producers on this store alone. Destiny 2 and Elder Scrolls online were within the top 12 for revenue in 2019. Final Fantasy 14 was in the top 24. Black Desert Online was in the top 40. ESO and Final Fantasy are both 6 years old, not particularly new games and yet their revenue is strong.

Steam recently released a video directed at developers on how to use some of their new features to reach their target market. This includes marketing using Game Updates, Events, and Announcements that can be used to target Steam's large userbase. By correctly using these features, Guild Wars 2 could appear on Steam's front page multiple times a year. This is something that Arenanet can't do with their current retailers.

https://www.reddit.com/r/pcgaming/comments/f2bcf6/steam_events_announcements/

Many believe that Guild Wars 2 is not being properly marketed towards passionate video gamers. In order to do so, go to every place where people purchase video games. Use the tools that Steam provide to show them what you have created. Before NCSoft decides that revenue is too low to continue, Arenanet should make a push to put their game in front of as many people as possible. They should cast a wider net in a larger pool of fish rather than just go whaling with the current population.

GW2 with Linux. (Lutris/PROTON/DXVK/WINE)

Posted: 13 Feb 2020 01:50 AM PST

Hello GW2 Community,

i am a linux user. And for years my only reason for windows at my home desktop was guildwars2. I tried a lot to run gw2 on linux for years now but did not get it run well.
Now after years of trying i got the perfect config. For the basic installation i used the Lutris Installer https://lutris.net/games/guild-wars-2/ .
Then i set up some configs and used a modified version of the newest Proton. (I will post this in the next days when everything is tested).
At least configure Esync and D9KV (https://github.com/Joshua-Ashton/d9vk).
Now GuildWars2 runs on 144 FPS in normal areas. Citys got 100 FPS and even WvW get in huge fights a min of 60 FPS. That is much better than it was on Windows.
My only problem is the updating. ATM i have to switch to a virtual machine that the updater works. (maybe someone has a tweak for this problem?).
I run on a Ryzen 5 2600X and on a Nvidia GTX 1060TI. Be shure you installed the latest Nvidia drivers. And be sure you run the game on a ssd or m2 ssd.
I hope this post can help someone who wants to run the game on linux too. And hopefully someone has a idea for the updater:)

Jormag and the Deldrimor's Vault (Deepstone Fractal)

Posted: 13 Feb 2020 06:51 AM PST

Hello!I've been thinking about it since the ending of EP2 and came to the conclusion that there's a possibility that the "Voice" we fight at the Deepstone Fractal might be an agent, or rather an extension, of Jormag just like the "Whisper". Perhaps, at some point in the past, Jormag tried to influence the Dwarf race but they created that Vault to contain the agent, it has a few similarities, like the ability to possess other creatures (a spider and a human) and speak through them. The fact the agent was sealed using a Crystal could be interpreted as an act taken by the Brotherhood of the Dragon, with the help of Glint both to contain and resist it.

"The February 25 build" (Revert button for Build & Equip Templates!)

Posted: 12 Feb 2020 06:04 PM PST

A revert button for Build & Equipment Templates will be quite nice.

However the way this is worded, along with the updates posted today about the balance previews, makes me speculate that this is the target date for the balance patch.

I have another update for you on what we're working on for Build and Equipment Templates. As mentioned in a previous post, one thing we've been working on is a way to give you all greater flexibility when making experimental changes to templates. That's almost ready, and a Revert button for changes to templates will be shipping with the February 25 build. This feature will work a bit like a restore point: Clicking it will return everything back to the way it was when you first loaded up a build.
