I have tried GW on the steam deck briefly, it runs very smooth obviously because of how old the game is.
my biggest issue were the controls, but i havent played around with it much and it was before the recent official controller support update.
I know also that GW is not demanding on your network connection, so steam deck wifi will suffice without a problem.
So yea, as bsoltan said it boils down to controls and how you like them, which is somewhat subjective.

Staff min 10/3/4-6, 11/5/5-8, -/-/----- Does this lign means that min for blue is 10/3/4-6 and min for white is 11/5/5-8 ?
blue means blue/white, white means purple (it turned white from a change in formatting on this forum i think) and gold is gold.
It is a bit misleading, it used to be purple
Red Fireball made purple purple again!

I have a few thoughts about some of the added weapons:
EotN Pre-Order weapons imo are clearly fancier than the average skin which would warrant dungeon end chest exclusivity. They also strongly resemble the themes of the different EotN regions.
Glacial Blades (Sword and Daggers) thematically really fit the Dragrimmar Dungeon which could really use some more / nicer exclusives and thus they belong there. I also think that they will (and should) have the fixed icy mod as the preorder item. As much as i like zealous on my daggers, the glacial visual element is very prominent on the skin and it should be in line with other weapons like that (FDS, IDS...).
Hourglass Staff has similar elements as Clockwork Scythe, it needs to be an Asura Dungeon and the only matching choice is Oolas.
Darksteel Bow looks Charr-y and thus belongs in one or multiple Charr Dungeons.
The other former PvP weapons don't need to be dungeon exclusive, they are similar to other skins with different tiers. And they can be region-specific, i.e. Etched Sword = Norn Area, Granite Edge = Asura.
Nightfall Pre-Order Items should not be tied to Mallyx or realm of torment, they should just be general random drops. Maybe tied to some specific areas or enemies, like the Soulbreaker could only drop from the blue Dervish Djinn which would kind of match its visual style.
Both Nightfall Pre-Order weapons have fixed elemental mods, for the scythe's skin it is visually justified but the spear skin does not really have any fire or glowing elements that would warrant the fire prefix. Then again, the spear looks more generic anyway and it would not really matter too much imo.
Factions Pre-Order items look like they could just be random Canthan drops (I don't mean this in a bad way) and imo that's what they should be. Put them in Urgoz and Kanaxai chests as well for good measure, so we can have both OS and insc. versions and everybody will be happy.
The Spiritbinder should be Ritualist req exclusive imo, it's in the name.
I don't have many thoughts on the other weapons, the ones 'available everywhere' are obviously much more random and for Tyria exclusives there aren't really any Tyria specific elite missions which would mean that they're probably somewhat random too.
btw. there already exists a drop research thread for the upcoming new weapons:
-
favor
edit: Neutral_CH was prepared
-
Also why is canthan targe only available in Tyria???
apparently it was a prophecies pre-order item
-
As far as weapons are concerned, I wonder what requirements/attributes will be available.
Glad I bought my mini Ghero a few years ago for 80a
something tells me we're not getting chimeric prisms with strength req and energy
-
i guess minis in pre-searing are big winners too
Miniatures[edit]
Additionally, a series of miniatures previously limited to special promotions and contest prizes will be available from new hard mode quests available at Embark Beach. Unlike their original versions, these cannot be traded between players. These quests will send you to replay the story missions and endgame areas of Guild Wars to prove your skills once more, so prepare for a tour of your triumphs to earn these miniatures.

I asked them in party chat about any plans for 20th anniversary, and they said we should be getting new quests, including rewards of rare minipets that haven’t been available for years! Really awesome to see the ANET team online and interacting with the community!
