ANet Please Opt-In to Keep GW2 on GeForce Now

[wizgamer.7123]

GeForce Now is the reason I returned after a 7-year hiatus, allowing me to jump in and play on my macbook pro that I use primarily for work. I was able to play on high settings (with a good internet connection), allowing me to fall in love with the game like I wasn't able to before with less adequate hardware. It has swiftly become my favorite game of all time as I am discovering the intricate work of art that is Tyria. This resulted in me buying the Deluxe Expansion pack to support the developers. I am a working professional and gaming is a hobby that is difficult to indulge in regularly.

Furthermore, this technology drastically lowers the barrier to entry, thereby facilitating free marketing as new players discover the game. As a point of reference, I was able to invite two of my professional friends (non-gamers) to try out the game, which they were able to set up in minutes, also on Macbooks, due to GeForce's technology.

Based on my conversations with others in the game, I truly think GeForce Now facilitates the play of thousands of players. It is also an avenue for the game's future growth as GeForce Now continues to grow. GeForce Now is a platform not just for streaming, but for game discovery as well (similar to Steam).

Well, gonna go soak in some Drizzlewood Coast before tomorrow I guess, unless someone at Anet makes a phone call first thing in the morning.

I could still barely run the game, but it was such a buggy mess on my laptop before I got GeForce Now that I honestly think I'll take a break from the game instead.

I'm sure I'll come back eventually because I love the game, but I'm gonna have to wait until I miss it pretty hard, because it's just going to be incredibly frustrating to go back to not being able to do map metas.

Well how about that! I'm honestly surprised, I didn't expect anything so last minute! I imagine they must have quietly made this arrangement before the weekend.

I hope Anet knows that this response is greatly appreciated! Since I was one of the folks being fairly vocal about this, I think I'll buy a few gems as a little thank you.

[Pencliff.4853]

This is such nice news to wake up to. Thanks so much NCSoft/Anet.

[iiko.7064]

YESSSSSS. Saved so much money on a new PC. :)Thank you NCSoft/Anet!

[naughteblonde.7194]

Heck yeah! Thanks Anet!!

[Nosy.2056]

I also want to thank you NCSoft/ANet - very much appreciated that you support the service ( ^◡^)

[sraav.9617]

Thank you very much Anet, the fashion quest is the ultimate quest and if I cant look at my character in near max settings at this point I'd rather take a walk.

Big props, thank you very much!

[Zomboden.2463]

Thank you for opting in!

[Ghost.4690]

This is awesome! Arenanet, thank you very much!

[wizgamer.7123]

Thank you so much, Anet! Made my week. Will buy some gems this week to show my appreciation.

[Zariel.9218]

Thanks for opting back in, ArenaNet - much appreciated, I think this is good for everyone! Will also be buying some gems to show my appreciation.

Thank you ANet for opting back in! And here's another question. I see that SteamLink and GeForce NOW are allowing sorta cross-platform streaming. This would be really helpful to those of us in the iOS world as GeForce NOW doesn't support iOS, only Android. But if ANet would allow GW2 to be one of the games that could be accessed through that alliance between NVidia and Valve via SteamLink, it would allow us to play remotely on our iDevices. What do y'all think?
