Thanks, Izzy. Miss you, dude!

Totally get that you're not on the right team for this request, or that this is perhaps the right forum for it; but Hi! I'd love to see the game release on Google Stadia :) IRC they may require controller support, but perhaps that can be discussed with them ;) Or worked on :) Also, while it is a Linux based OS that they use, they do have a talk on their upcoming developer summit about how to run windows games unmodified, on Stadia. Could be worth looking into! Would love to have it available on every screen. And considering it's free for 1080p streaming, could be a good entry point for new customers. I know the ESO community on Stadia is pretty happy. Obviously, crossplay :)
Sorry, just had to :)

Haha. You're right in that I'm not the correct person to handle this. I certainly wouldn't mind GW2 on more platforms, but this is far outside my realm of expertise or influence. :)
The team had a lot of fun with Snargle this expansion. In general, a bunch of the Arborstone collections have some really nice material in them.
We are very thankful you all did that. It paid off. So much fun it was. I spent so much time in game, sometimes just even watching OBs mode.
Yeah my obs mode account has like 18k hours lol it was twitch before twitch was cool.
What a sweet message, and the teams bonds are always something I admire of Anet. There's something special when people truly enjoy working together. It makes me a bit emotional thinking back at all those years and all the work you all did to make us have a good time. Thanks to the whole Anet team, and to you as well Isaiah!
<3 yeah entertaining people is a fun career it’s a truck load of work and more fun with awesome people!
<3 Thank you for your support Izzy. We miss you!
Miss you too Cameron!
I loved how many skills it had. I could make up my own guys and then dress them up. Make a vampire ninja, or bard or wind hermit. I'd still be playing it if they kept adding new skills and clothes.
Yeah there was a lot of fun there!
man GW1 was absolute chaos, with each profession having like a hundred skills you had thousands of possible build combinations and there was always the possibility that there was a sleeper OP interaction among the countless builds, I think Izzy did a good job adverting total buildpocalpyse
It wasn't just me I was just the face we had a whole bunch of people back then giving feedback, fixing issues, and discussing changes. I also ran a not-so-secret balance forum. Balance is a hard design problem. : )
I feel like I remember you doing videos for GW1 about the balancing. I still think that was the most impressive balancing Ive ever seen in any game, ESPECIALLY considering how many skills had to be balanced
Clearly you don't remember smiters boon :P, but yes I was the loud mouth skill balance guy who got on videos and blabed about game design and skills back on GW1 days, was there 17 years though.
omg Izzy. Hello!
Hi Redfeather : )
This post is great.
This is how you know people enjoyed working with each other in the past.
Thanks, and yes ANet bonds and span a long time period : )
<3 Thank you for your support Izzy. We miss you!
It's good to see you again, Izzy.
I remember reading about you in 2004 working at ArenaNet. How the time flies.
Yeah that was FOREVER ago : )
We've got some spreadsheets for you to review Izzy! :)

Of course it's positive, Isaiah.
All the negative voices get banned from reddit and the forum, and kicked out of the partner program :)
Sounds like you need a hug
