Guild Wars 2

Since the Beta Weekend Events at least, the game has supported the display on Logitech’s G-Series keyboards, offering World Completion, live character stats and WvW data (when you’re actually in a WvW zone). And combat data, which seems a little… funky, to say the least. It’s currently telling me I hit a Firefly with Whirling Axe when I’m pretty sure I was cutting a mob of Separatists before making this post.

Thing is, while these screens are all well and good (I love the World Completion screen), it’s all a bit basic on the G19 and I don’t think it’s seen much in the way of improvement since then. I wouldn’t mind seeing a little more functionality, something like – in the case of the full-colour G19 at least:

• the minimap
• skill bar
• a set of chat channels (possible G15 screen?)
• achievement tracking (that Hero Window’s pretty herr-oooj and non-resizable) (also another possible G15 screen)
• contacts and guild roster
• more detailed personal character attributes and stats (the current version only seems to show effective attributes and HP), along with equipped gathering tools.

I realise and understand that this may be pretty low on the list of ANet’s priorities right now (if on that list at all), even more so considering it only caters to those who actually own a G-series, but I think if a game’s going to support a device it would be nice to see said device used to its fullest potential.
