sraav.9617 Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 My high speed internet 200mbs cost $40 a month. My laptop is 9 years old. GeForce Now runs the game on near max settings AND my laptop stays very cold throughout the entire session. Please do not leave GFN Anet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeryn Elendil.2456 Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Please opt-in Anet! GeForce NOW has been the medium in which a decent chunk of your player base, including myself, run GW2. Using GeForce Now has made it less taxing on our hardware and has increased accessibility to the game. By not opting in ANet, you are basically saying "We want our customers to have less access to our product." I don't see how this line of thinking works with your overall strategy of retaining and attracting new players to the game. I will most certainly be playing GW2 significantly less if you don't stick with GeForce Now, not because I want to, but because your action/inaction will have knee-capped my ability to play the game. Judging by the number of posts in this thread it looks like a lot of players are in the same boat. Please consider opting in Anet. Many of us would like to continue enjoying all that the world of Tyria has to offer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrostZombieX.5728 Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Nvidia Geforce Now has been the only reliable way, for many people, to play with a stable framerate, on older hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you consider a "decent chunk" and how do you come to that figure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use GFN so I'll preface this with the fact I could be biased. My PC runs GW2 ok (HoT maps made me stop due to pretty bad FPS but PoF maps were fine) and I wasn't expecting to use GFN for GW2, but I was really surprised when I did. It might be that I have a decent internet speed and am close to the Nvidia server I connect to, but I didn't notice any lag. I don't play SPvP but I couldn't tell the difference in terms of latency between the stream and playing normally on any WvW or PvE map I've been on. @"kharmin.7683" I don't know about decent chunk, but there are dozens of us!

Tekoneiric.6817 Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 It makes no sense for GW2 to leave GFN. Given the problems with the world economy, many people can't afford to upgrade to more modern hardware. ANet should promote the use of GFN in their marketing to bring more people with older hardware.

Pencliff.4853 Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 > @"Laila Lightness.8742" said: > anyone tried to make a support ticket and ask I was thinking about it. Usually when I've seen people ask about other games they get a generic response, but I suppose it couldn't hurt. With things like this you can never know if your message will get through to the people who make the decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that would be a whole different story for me. GFN doesn't even offer service here, but if they did, the ping to the GW2 servers is already 300 without going through a streaming service so the input lag would make it unplayable.

Ryan.6951 Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 bump, if you don't want to make your game playable without a supercomputer, let us play on our rented supercomputers please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NtBlstr.3506 Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 sad day to read the support for Geforce Now isn't being opted in, me and my wife get to play along side of our son and daughter because Geforce Now made it possible: It worked flawlessly for them and gave far better results on the ageing hardware they have been using.
