I use 2 monitors on my Windows PC and I thought: It would be neat if Guild Wars 2 had support for multiple monitors. Not for expanding your view of the world around your character, but for viewing things such as the AH, inventory, and it could have a resizable map that would replace the minimap on your main screen – it could even be fullscreen.

A few real-wold examples: one could have the map open on their 2nd monitor to spot events, quests that are near them, and find their group members; they could move their mouse from the main monitor to the 2nd and move the map to find events, quests, etc. It would be extremely useful in WvW; and when in dungeons, it could display information about every encounter: show loot that will drop, show real-time updates on each stage for bosses, and could display information from the Wiki site in a RSS Reader style that only displays text in the paragraphs explaining in-game content for the game. It could also house your chat log, could display buffs & debuffs in more detail.

Thanks for reading this

I would love to see this.

As it sits now…. i don’t really get any use of my second monitor when dual-screening.

It would also be cool if you could have it display Fractal information on the 2nd monitor; Along with the other dungeon info I suggeted in my first post.

Sadly, most game developers ignore developing for multiple monitor setups. It’s not just A-net, or the mmo genre, but across all video games. It’s very rare to see something like you suggest. I can never go back to just one single monitor anymore. It’s just more efficient having two these days.
