Guild Wars 2 V2: GOTY 2017 or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Arenanet - Games

[QUOTE=General;36378826]Anyone want to take a guess on the release date? [url]http://kotaku.com/5910509/guild-wars-2-retail-ad-shows-june-28-release-date[/url] What do you think of that?[/QUOTE] [QUOTE="article"]Here's a statement from NCsoft: "We have not released an official launch date within 2012 as feedback from our closed and open marketing betas will help us determine an exact release date. We will release Guild Wars 2 when it is ready."[/QUOTE] So, no. And obviously not, they had a ton of stuff to do, and then suddenly it's launching in 2 weeks? I don't think so, they'll announce the release sooner than 2 weeks before it's launched. Edit: 10 days even.

Optimized or not yet? I consider preordering.

[QUOTE=MoarFunz;36379837]Optimized or not yet? I consider preordering.[/QUOTE] Well, afik the game ran great. On my laptop i had 30-50 fps at all times on high settings, but I heard some others have had alot of performance issues on pc's that are alot better than mine.

I had a constant 60+ FPS on Ultra with AA enabled. In WvWvW when there were like 300 people it dropped to 50~ but that's fine.

I was getting, at best, 30fps and at worst 2fps, though 15fps was still fairly playable. I'm assuming they haven't implemented crossfire support yet.

i7 2600K with a Radeon 7850 lets it run on 60 FPS on ultra with AA on 2x. Even in WvWvW.

My 295GTX ran like shit. I didn't check GPU usage, but i assume sli just didn't work properly.

Mine was doing a good 50fps or so on max graphics, in the middle of pvp i did drop down to 1-5fps (in sieges i should point out) but take that grain of salt, im running it on a hard drive that *is* dying. (but SOON i shall get a new one, and it shall be fantastico.)

I highly doubt it will be out in June... Maybe the BWE3, but not release! [editline]18th June 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=LordApocca;36381142]My 295GTX ran like shit.

I'm gunna give a rough estimate of maybe august at the earliest.

September sounds like the most logical time for release. That leaves plenty of time between beta events and optimisation/polishing of the game.

these are some of the weapon skins i unlocked from glory points in the beta. [url]http://imgur.com/a/eCsj7/all[/url]

[QUOTE=maxolina;36380593]What's your rig? I have an i5 3570k with a GTX 670 and I get less than that at 1080p[/QUOTE] i7 860, HD 6870, 6gigs of ram. Had this rig for like 2 years and it runs it perfectly.

I'm running an E4500 2.2ghz, 9600GT and 3 gigs of ram. Running at a solid 30 at medium.

I'm on an i7 2600k and a 560ti, at max settings I never went below 40.

Any news on a BWE?

Trust me mate, you'll know when there's a BWE, because the thread's going to explode.

[QUOTE=lintz;36395708]Trust me mate, you'll know when there's a BWE, because the thread's going to explode.[/QUOTE] And it won't be about discussing what kinda computers we use.

[QUOTE=eternalflamez;36395857]And it won't be about discussing what kinda computers we use.[/QUOTE] We will be discussing what kind of magical computers Asurans use.

[QUOTE=Franke_R!?;36396111]We will be discussing what kind of magical computers Asurans use.[/QUOTE] Asurans are computers.

[QUOTE=Miskav;36396138]Asurans are computers.[/QUOTE] And they are magical.

You know, it's nice that arenanet is taking their time and all, but this "we're releasing it when it's done" thing is getting kinda old now you've been dishing out beta weekends frequently and you should have a rough estimation of how close you are to completing the game.

[QUOTE=Winner;36399105]Except people keep breaking their BWEs[/QUOTE] I see what you did there.

Well, finally got my friend to buy GW2. Took him long enough

New blog post.

Really good article to send to people who are thinking about getting GW2.

[QUOTE=Mr.Cthrobot;36403429] This kid makes some good points on Guild Wars 2.[/QUOTE] all i'm picking up so far is "if you dont like mmos, you wont like another mmo" he's spending a lot of time complaining about how quick world events are, something the devs have said is beta values since you seem to be the only one that's watched the video up until now, maybe you could tell him that beta isn't a glorified demo??????

I think the main thing I gathered from it was the fact that the world events weren't as world changing as Arenanet said. I also somewhat agree that the game was a bit overhyped in terms of "revolutionary mmo gameplay."
