For those of us with multiple monitors, I’m requesting a feature I’ve seen in several other games: the ability to select which monitor GW2 uses for “fullscreen” or “windowed fullscreen” modes. Currently, GW2 will only display on the primary monitor when using these modes.

While some work-arounds exist they each cause other issues, all of which would be addressed if a secondary/tertiary monitor could be selected in lieu of the primary as part of the graphics settings.

The only current way to approximate this behavior is to use “windowed” mode, which of course includes unwanted o/s elements and dead space.

Any casual search will show that this feature request has been present with a steady stream of requests over time, in the form of your customers asking how to accomplish it. Therefore, I believe it could help a significant number of players. Thank you for your consideration.

I don’t have two monitors, but I imagine it would great if one could set things up so that the various panels and windows appear in one monitor and the main game/environment appears in the other.

Short of that, the OP’s request seems reasonable: allow one to use the options panel to set the monitor in which the game appears.
