[Official] Guild Wars 2 Discussion, Video & Screenshot Thread - Page 454

post #4531 of 9311
Tried playing in yesterday's stress test, was unbearable so I just logged off. I'll continue to wait until the 25th smile.gif

Question though, was anyone else having a difficult time running it with semi-dated cards? I was trying to run it on my two 5850s, and my performance was pretty poor with high settings and most eye candy turned down. Was crossfire even supported for the BWE's / stress tests? If not, that's likely why.

pretty much nothing besides lore. it's a sequel in name only.

AMD just added CF support for the game in 12.7 CAP2.

Nothing what so ever, the points for from the first one is about getting titles, items and such that dont really have ANY effect on the game as a whole. I tired as hard as i could too play Guild Wars 1 but i was ruined by WoW but i cant wait for Guild Wars 2 though.

I think the stories, characters and such will be connected but i am sure there will be stories and such too explain how the lore and such is so i dont thin kthat will be such a big deal

Dual gpu for the game itself runs pretty bad right now, they are still working on that. Even for nvidia as well.

It's true. I love seeing how many features get added between tests. The simple things where my favorite. "Deposit all collectables" was great to see. Now I love the red "ready to cast" bars underneath the skill icons because a few of my warrior skill icons have shading that makes it really hard to see when they were actually cooled down.

Its refreshing to have suggestions actually added to a game.

oh i wouldnt be so sure, at least not before they completely finished optimixing the game program coding

the game stabs my 570 whenever i spin the camera, that is all maxed setting except no supersampling and medium shadows

i tried turning on supersampling and the frames drop even when i walk to the front with no camera movement te 670 isnt all that much greater is it

Is your HD 5200RPM? Weird cause my 260GTX 216 doesnt do that, but in tera I had similar issues with running around town

I do have drivers from like 2010 that might be why also who knows lol
