Guild Wars 2

Been asking for this for probably 1.5 years, 4k is becoming pretty affordable and more people are moving to it, can we PLEASE get a larger scale size. The game looks amazing in 4k, but trying to read anything is absolutely horrible currently. Please give us a larger size for text.

I agree. UI scaling desperately needs to keep up with 4k gaming.

As it is, if I want to see my UI worth beans at all (and nevermind reading chat), I have to scale down to 1440 or even 1080.

Now don’t get me wrong – I can see stuff/interact with things ok at 1440 and definitely at 1080, but I’m rocking a $1200 display and it isn’t exactly new technology anymore.

Any word on this would be great, even if its just a ’we’re getting around to it’ or something.

They would have to create every bitmap element in game at a larger resolution. That includes every skill and TP item icon in game. It it not a small task. That’s assuming of course that you don’t simply want a x2 rescale of one of the existing sizes.

However ANet doesn’t strike me as a company that is willing to intentionally do a half-kitten job for a quick and dirty “fix”.

4k might be affordable for us, but supporting it adds another set of expenses for ANet (both one time and ongoing maintenance). What UI improvements are you willing to give up for this?

I’d rather them allow customization of the UI before they scale it up.
