I've been playing Guild Wars 2 a ton over the past two years and honestly I'm really glad I've spent so much time in the setting, it's so not traditional fantasy and it's richer for it. I wish that more fantasy played with the expectations of the genre. Tolkien-esque fantasy is a great jumping off point but I wish authors/creators did more with it than just start and stop there

    Really wish this game had controller support. I want to try it on the steam deck but only community bindings are available!

    Yeah I agree, especially bc it's on steam now and the steam deck puts a premium on games with controller support. But even on PC sometimes I feel like I'm short on buttons, but there's probably some way to play comfortably on a controller and anet really aught to invest in it

    With action cam it’s definitely playable with a controller but I doubt they’ll put in controller support because like… there’s a billion different bindings and everyone rebinds everything in their own so there’s not much point? Browse community bindings and find one that works for you/your character(s).

    Yesss I've been playing since Guild Wars 1, I was there when the last day dawned on the kingdom of Ascalon, and I looove how they've evolved the setting over the decades! I've run D&D games set in it, and it's a great great time
