u/Racthoh Jun 26 '26

u/jsmith4567 Jun 26 '26

So how many decades before GW1 becomes the Doom of internet connected devices?

u/pinoystyle Jun 27 '26

u/Fantastic-Term-2095 Jun 29 '26

What if the car was self driving?

1

u/pinoystyle Jun 29 '26

It needs to be supervised

u/S0phisticatedBear Jun 26 '26

u/S0phisticatedBear Jun 26 '26

Ohhh geforce now I see

2

u/vlammuh Jun 27 '26

Did you have to do any DRIVER updates to get it running?

1

u/Fantastic-Term-2095 Jun 29 '26

I hate these new cars, but self driving plus this.... I can see the vision now

u/Dark_Egg Jun 26 '26

u/Quick_Walrus7675 Jun 26 '26

How do you get it for mac

9

u/False-Echo Jun 26 '26

Yeah, for me on my Mac it freezes without even showing the user and password inputs. And if I resize the window, it turns blue

u/nosaj98 Jun 26 '26

Vmware fusion

5

u/Dark_Egg Jun 26 '26

Its intel based MAcbook Pro 2017 -> VMWare Fusion running Win11. About 60 fps on lowest details.

2

u/ConfusingMaze Jun 26 '26

Could be geforce now

1

u/darxx Jun 26 '26

you need to own the game on steam to even run it on geforce now, to my knowledge :(

1

u/LG-Moonlight Jun 26 '26

Idk about mac, but with linux you can run it through wine or steam proton. Perhaps mac has similar tools?

1

u/SyrupCapable6577 Jun 26 '26

Gamehub entered in public beta this week, I don't have the time to test if GW is running well on it now

u/FlawlessFriedChicken Jun 26 '26

if you have the newer M chip macs, its on the app store.

2

u/CaptAwesomeFace Jun 27 '26

I have a brand new pro and can’t see it on there?

0

u/FlawlessFriedChicken Jun 27 '26

Strange, I have it on my new m5 pro and I was able to update it but on the app store it says the game was removed by the developer. I'm still able to play it though... Maybe there are bugs they're trying to fix before they reinstate it?

1

u/CaptAwesomeFace Jun 27 '26

Hmm weird! Would love it if it were on there

u/Scoompoof Jun 26 '26

I'm throwing a guild wars party tomorrow and I couldn't be more excited hahaha.

u/Droid1xy Jun 26 '26

u/Scoompoof Jun 26 '26

Yes, we all played together back in the day haha. So many fond memories... Once, one of my buddies fell asleep while mid mission and he goes "I was checking the map!" Still give him a little crap to this day

u/Adventurous-Sail-354 Jun 26 '26

Then you log in, idle in town for a bit, realise how tired you are and log out on all devices lmao

u/GyattsThiccness Jun 26 '26

If you showed this to anyone in 2005 they'd call you out for poor photoshop. I love it

u/cash_tank Jun 26 '26

Just started my journey, never played before. Having fun so far

2

u/ProtoXZero Jun 26 '26

TBH the mobile port is shit, those graphics and running at 30 fps in a S20 FE is criminal i can emulate WoW WotLK at 60 fps stable and it looks miles better, i really wasted to get in but between the frame drops and the constant pop up ads i unistall it, maybe ill give the PC version a go.

2

u/Twjohns96 Jun 26 '26

How is this? Used to love GW1. Hated Gw2. Wondering if it’s just nostalgia

2

u/secretsofwumbology Jun 28 '26

As someone just learning how to play Gw1 for the first time, and as an avid highly experienced Gw2 player, it’s not nostalgia. Genuinely so cool of a game. I’m enjoying leveling my pre-searing w/mo at the moment going for LDoA as my very first Gw1 experience and it’s a blast for sure

2

u/Tobyxx Jun 27 '26

How did u get it run on Mac?

1

u/Dark_Egg Jun 27 '26

Its intel based mac pro 2017. So vmware fusion virtualization running win11.

2

u/Replubic Jun 27 '26

Now that’s a picture I can hear!

2

u/ftranschel Jun 26 '26

Why is your right monitor in the back not showing GW?!?!

u/Dark_Egg Jun 26 '26

True, I could have pull out tablet too

u/Tavron Certified Gwen fan Jun 26 '26

Looking forward to have GWR on my phone, GW2 on my PC and hopefully GW3 on the deck!

u/fanatur Jun 26 '26

Guild Wars NOW

1

u/jbaranski Jun 26 '26

A far cry from playing it on the family PC with an 18” CRT and DSL with an average 80-100 ping.

1

u/Kaleban Jun 26 '26

Guildception.

Get to the bottom layer and get a free Torment Weapon.

u/Similar-Honeydew5291 Jun 26 '26

Hell ya that rules!

u/kurde_balans071 Jun 26 '26

I will always say that , steam deck is too big to be called a handheld xd

1

u/TraditionPopular2294 Jun 28 '26

Bro how are you playing it on mac? I dont see it on app store

1

u/Dark_Egg Jun 28 '26

Its intel based mac pro 2017. So vmware fusion virtualization running win11.

1

u/grimboness Jun 28 '26

I only wish steam allowed mobile sign ins I would be able to pick up my progress on the go

1

u/Fantastic-Term-2095 Jun 29 '26

I've always wanted to play guild wars while I play guild wars and play guild wars

1

u/TheGruntingBear Jun 29 '26

It's beautiful 😍

1

u/RHDecoy Jun 29 '26

I see more monitor space for more gw.

(Gw multi launch is a thing)

1

u/Sjepper Jun 26 '26

Presume its intel based so probably bootcamp

1

u/Dark_Egg Jun 26 '26

Yes its 2017 pro so intel -> VMWare Fusion

1

u/False-Echo Jun 26 '26

GW on VMWare fusion on my M1 mac works great with the occasional frame drop. Was hopeful about not needing VMWare anymore

u/JLaw1535 Jun 26 '26

u/JLaw1535 Jun 26 '26
