Bump.

This guild is for people that enjoy the travel moreso than the destination, the process moreso that the result. This is for those that like to take it slow, the kind of people that read quest texts and sit through the NPC dialog cutscenes. This guild is for the working adult, the family man, or woman. This is a community of likeminded people, whose main focus is to relax and enjoy Tyria with internet friends. We foster a warm and friendly atmosphere, a spirit of camaraderie. Newbies, veterans and anything in between, are all very welcome, as long as you're a generally nice person to be around. A basic ability to speak and understand English is required and the use of voice on Discord during group activities is strongly advised, yet not enforced. We do not enjoy, nor do we tolerate (excessive) swearing and cussing, toilet humour, pornography, paedophilia and gratuitous and/or overtly sexual topics and behaviours. While growing this guild we will be doing whatever everyone is up to, making it a point out of not rushing content. Anything we do, we do for the fun of it, but eventually this guild will strive to focus on WvW and PVP in general. I'm Radu, I'm 40 and I'm Romanian. I started playing during the second closed beta, in early 2012, I played all the subsequent betas and pretty consistently from launch until 2014 when I stopped playing altogether. Until now. Join our discord and let's play. https://discord.gg/MHZdttHmjT

Hi, I'm Radu, I'm 40 and I'm Romanian. I started playing during the second closed beta, I played all the subsequent betas and pretty heavily from launch until 2014 when I stopped laying altogether. Until now. I just started playing again, getting reaquainted with the game and although I had played before, and quite a lot, it seems I have forgotten most everything about the game. It almost feels like I'm playing for the first time. I'm taking it slowly, levelling up a warrior and making it a point out of not using any level boosts. Take in the sights and smell the roses kind of thing. I eventually want to get into WvW (and structured) so I'm looking for a guild that has this as a focus. If you have a discord server it's even better.

I made a habit out of always using the latest GE-Proton to run Windows game on Linux. In more cases than not, I get a better, more stable performance than with the official Steam Proton version.

I must be missing something... What's the difference between what I proposed and ACTUALLY LINKING accounts? How is this not the same thing? This is an honest question, because as far as I'm concerned, for all intents and purposes, and as far as I understand it's the same...

Also, some people are bound to have bought the game simply due to the Steam release alone, people that perhaps might not have otherwise, and that means more money for ANET. 70% of a purchase is still 100% more money than no purchase. Hope that clears things up a bit for you.

What's most surprising, however, is how a lot of people seemed pissed off with the Steam launch, and with me for this "useless advice". It's like it's taking something from them, diminishing their experience somehow... Boggles the mind. When in reality, the Steam launch has brought many new and returning players to the game. Just take a look at the amount of new content on Youtube.

As of yet, there are no Steam achievements.

I don't know about other people, bu I can tell you why Steam is important to me. I've had this account since 2013. I used to play a lot. I played the betas (on yet another, different, account). I took time off work for the launch of GW2. But then, soon after, around 2014, I stopped playing altogether. Every now and then, years after, I would get nostalgic about GW2 and feel like playing it again. But you see, I'm using Linux now, and have been for a good few years now. And GW2 with Lutris is hit and miss at most, mostly miss on my system. However, GW2 on Steam via Proton is just flawless. I even feel like it runs better than it does on Windows on the same hardware. So for me it's important to be able to use my ten year old account, on my six year old laptop, on Linux, with Steam.

I'm surprised a lot of people still don't know this. So here. Right click Guild Wars in your Steam library, choose Properties and in the launch options enter "-provider Portal". No quotes, capital P. And that's it, now you will be able to play on Steam with your existing ANET account. DO KEEP IN MIND, however, that any expansions you purchase, you must get them from the website and not from the Steam Store.

You must mean DXVK, because that's how the game runs on Linux, not Vulkan.

While not quite answering your question, and perhaps going slightly off topic, I do want to chime in and say that I'm playing on Linux, via DXVK (Steam with GE Proton) and the game seems to run quite a bit better than it does on Windows on the same hardware.
