Re: Guild Wars 2

I didn't play the original either. Think I'm going to try and make it to GameStop tomorrow and see if I can "pre-order" the game for $5 and try it out.

I wasn't in gamestop for this game today, but the guy working there said today was the last day of giving out the beta access with a pre-order.

Re: Guild Wars 2

I think it has potential, but something doesnt seem right with the graphics and fps to me. Ive watched streams and it seemed pretty smooth, but I am certainly not getting the same graphics / performance that Ive been seeing.

I also have a top of the line card with the 7970 and 12 gigs of ram, so I know its not my computer thats holding me back.

I know what you mean, it just doesn't feel optimized yet.

Outside of that, and the lag I don't have a lot to complain about. The combat mechanics are very interesting Having different skills for each type of weapon you equip is pretty cool. Really interested in seeing how that pans out in pvp.

Re: Guild Wars 2

Well I certainly went from very excited to " meh " in record time. They need to get the FPS issue fixed asap or else. I realize this is a beta, but Im not seeing too many people happy right now with performance. Its darn near unplayable at best, and just no fun playing a slideshow. I would never believe that a $600 vid card wouldnt have decent performance in this game.

One of the biggest issues other than that, which should be able to be fixed....is content scaling. I loved the theory, but from the 3 events I tried that scaled, it was a cluster of insanity.

Esp if you are melee. I was a level 5 ranger and about 10 others joined the quest and it scaled all the mobs to level 8 and added about 30 more of them. Not only could I barely do any damage to the level 8 mobs, but they could one shot you with no visable casting animation telling you that you have some sort of dmg incoming at you. I got in the back and started plinking with my bow, doing almost zero dmg to the mob, but next thing you know Im dead. Dont get me started with the melees....1 shot city on almost all of them. Basically having more people join the events makes them ranged AE fests with no one able to melee. I was able to solo an event with no issues, but the same event scaled with a crowd of people is nothing more than a corpse run due to anywhere from 20-30 extra mobs spawning with increased levels.

Launch date is August 28th.

This game is seriously fun for me. I don't usually like PvP but I tried World vs World last beta and I can already tell it's going to get a lot of time from me. It's great.

Agreed. There's just so much to do, no matter your preference of pve or pvp.
