Guild Wars Reforged

This is just my 2 cents but I believe that when they add the huge graphical overhaul, they'll allow for an option to play in the legacy version under the Graphics Tab (kinda like being able to turn Post Processing on and off - tho this might require a full restart of the game if and when u switch) so that players can choose to enjoy the nostalgia when they want.

I feel it is going to be several toggles, to be honest. It doesn't seem like it's a full graphical remaster but rather a lot of rendering improvements.

Kryth Builds You can find pictures of the graphic redesign via the thread on IGN (link to first post). It's a redesign in the sense that it adapts to 4K screens and PCs that are more recent than when GW was released, including the interface (UI), in terms of resolution (pixels). That's it, there's no need for an option to go back, it's useless.

They are fixing bug with steam deck compatilibity and new monitor/pc features, hope they fix the bug wich prevent me from switching audio output without restarting client -_-

I hear you but I think improved resolution (both on UI, skill icons and the game) and the new texture redo + bloom + ambient occlusion update will make a dent in how we experience the game day to day - on top of the post processing effects implemented a while back.

There's a GW Reforged stream happening on Laranity's twitch channel tomorrow. I can't find the link atm (on my mobile again) but I'll post it if and when I do. Hopefully we'll know exactly how different the game will look then.

More than that though, I'm interested in the steady stream of updates we'll be getting from now on. QoL also rox hard!

super stoked about this!

https://m.twitch.tv/guildwars2/home is streaming GW reforged today at 11 am pst

I'm most excited for the HD skill icons to be used in-game (which are available on the GW Wiki). I was always surprised that they never updated the game to use them, even after new screens were higher resolution. That part is confirmed here, if anyone's curious: https://www.guildwars.com/en/
