i'd love to see a linux-native version. that'd be the 1337-spec

I've been playing GW2 on Linux for the past year with the same performance as on windows.

yeah, proton works fine, but i got some stability issues i cant pin down. (my hfb may just be bad?) but that's also a windows expirience, i hear?

How’s your setup? I have also been running GW2 on Linux perfectly, but when I recently got back into the game, it has felt like performance has taken a pretty big hit. I’m using the same machine.

I didn't really fiddle with any settings to make ot work, I just used protontricks to install a few font packages that were missing. I'm running from a steam install useng the -providerportal flag. That said some of the newest maps have terrible performance compared to the rest of the game.

Antiquary feels... weird? I don't get the card connection. Also the theme in the trailer looked a bit out of place to me and kinda hoped it was engi, not thief :D

Loving the Troubadour name though. Leaves Minstrel to be a joke it was and is more unique than a simple Bard.

Evoker is just right. Nothing too special, but also not weird. Spec looks cool as well

I like antiquary as a name in vacuum, but I don't know why it's cards either. I guess we'll see!

1. One devoted to the study of ancient times through their relics, as inscriptions, monuments, remains of ancient habitations, statues, coins, manuscripts, etc.; one who searches for and studies the relics of antiquity.

Are you telling me I’m pretty much gonna be Indiana Jones in Guild Wars? 😁

(Yes, I know he’s an archaeologist)
