Guild Wars 2

I was looking through youtube earlier and I came across a video that captures what the old login screen used to be. I forgot how beautiful it really was.

With the upcoming HoT expansion and the direction Guild Wars 2 is going, why not use the throwback login screen as it is more aesthetically pleasing than a splash with a ton of invisible pixels.

Here’s a link to the video. The video is actually a demo of a windows 7/8 desktop background that behaves the same as the older login screen. (I wouldn’t recommend downloading it because it’s been flagged to contain viruses but at least the video is safe to watch)

The old log in screen was used at the con demos, but not in the stress test. I’d love to have it back if it contains the launcher features such as the news feed and download progress bar. Along with any security features the launcher offers that the old screen did not, of course, I don’t know what’s under the hood.

Yeah, I miss that too. I’d rather that than what we have now. Or put the old command line back in.

Yes, put the old command back in. I mean, I already have my commands to auto log me in without even seeing the launcher.
