I got Guild Wars running on deck a while ago now just to see if I could but it wasn't super playable due to things like text size. Looking forward to this update, making a new character and giving it a go to see how the experience has changed!

Guild Wars 1 has a very interesting team based PvP with a deck of skills among hundreds you have to pick beforehand, it generated a lot of team creativity, metas, counter metas, updates breakings metas and generating news ones etc. It's in my opinion way more interesting than the generic 5v5 with fixed skills per character that has dominated skill based PvP games since then (including League of Legends and Guild Wars 2, at least on release), probably because it's more accessible for the mass.

This got me so excited because i thought the game was being remastered or reignited. I'm happy they are making steamdeck based improvements because its a great steamdeck mmo. But most of the stuff I already had through gwtoolbox so i appreciate the gesture of support.
