I was only joking. I thought it was pretty obvious but that doesn't appear to be the case as it seems like a lot of people think I was being serious. I edited the post to make absolutely sure that it can't be construed that way.

Thank you! Yeah, I knew you were joking and then felt bad when you got downvoted. Sometimes nuance, jokes, etc. get lost on the Internet. Anyway, it's all good. I just wanted to be clear about my interest in this topic, and not create confusion or false hopes within the community. :)

haha ^^ Bobby i have a question not releated to this. Regarding writting and ur work. im just curious, you do just the writting of the lore or more things? and also, you really need that many writers for EoD? i saw like crazy at least 8-10 in the credits!

I manage the entire narrative department (as of December 2021). The job is a mix of management and creative direction.

We (the Narrative Department) handle story breaking (i.e. developing the narrative in partnership with Design and Cinematics), writing it, light narrative design implementation (heavier stuff is done by our story designers and content designers), VO prep, casting and recording (with our outsourcing partner), interfacing with Design, Audio, Art, Loc, Cinematics, Tools, and QA, etc.

I also handle my team's recruiting, new hire onboarding, craft development, budget stuff, and help with studio-level initiatives.

Not sure if this answers your question. Apologies if I threw a lot of info at you all at once. :)

Up now. Control scheme can definitely improved, but should give a general indication how it runs.

Watching now!

For me, it works flawlessly through steam with Proton 5.3. The question is when will Guild Wars 2 be officially arriving on Steam.

Not for me to say.

So that's an official confirmation of this and many other features :D

Please don't get me fired. (I know you were joking, hence the :D. No need to get downvoted!)

omg does that mean official gamepad support is on the way? :D

I'm posting here as a fan of Steam Deck and someone who is interested in seeing what it'd feel like to play the game using a gamepad. Me doing this has nothing to do with any current or future plans for the game, and even if it did I wouldn't be the person to talk about a feature like that. :)

Hope that clears it up!

Only played for around 10 minutes so far. FPS were around 35-45 for areas without many other players. Lowest I've seen was 23 with a crowd of other players in view. This is mostly high settings though, without any optimization on my part. Will probably turn some settings further down.

I'll see if I can take a video once I've optimized the settings and controls.

Yes! Please post video once you optimize.

Do you plan on installing the game through something like Lutris and emulating through wine, or are you going to install Windows on it? I can say as someone who games on Linux quite a bit, Gw2 works on wine quite well!

That's a great question that I don't have an answer for. If Proton doesn't support it I'll probably create a Windows partition so I can play GW2 and also Game Pass for PC/game streaming.

Oh no, now I'll never be able to escape the thralls of Guild Wars 2!

Damn you, handheld gaming!

Thank you for posting this! I preordered my Steam Deck but haven't gotten the follow up/full payment email yet. Planning on doing the same once mine arrives, so I'll be checking back periodically for tips and suggestions on controller set ups, etc.

Q_Q you made me fall in love with the Steel Warband then have me kill most of them in the next episode. How...could you?

Just to clarify, on IBS the only piece of content I directly worked on was Visions of the Past (where we created the Steel Warband.) I was sad to see them go as well :(

After Steel and Fire I moved on to be the lead of End of Dragons.
