They did announce that it would mainly just be benchmark testing raw CPU power, which I think is why they advised people to downclock their GPU's and stuff - because it would actually make the performance more unstable. Was quite strange to see it not using 100% CPU power, though. My framerate was shocking as a result, particularly during moments that were heavy on post-processing effects, for e.g. when leaving water and going onto land, the water droplets on the screen would drop me down to 5fps (i5 760 4Ghz).

Yeah i got the same with water droplets upon leaving the water and that is with an i5 2500k @ 4.6 and using 30/40% of my CPU power.

All it really needs at the moment to be release ready is engine optimization, an option to tone down player effects, and a fix for the grouping-up problem. If they were sorted I'd be more than happy with the state of the game.

Grouping as in some stuck on the official server and some stuck on the overflow? If that is what you meant than is one of the main problems i want sorted for release. I think with the engine optimization and the groups sorted i would play it right now in it's unreleased state.

I believe there is an option for 'item not as described' or something. Use that.

Yup use the above for paypal item dispute.

InKursion · 2 May 2012 at 14:50

I hope you can turn that annoying effect off anyway

It really didn't work very well from what I could tell. When questing near water on water-mobs, even sometimes submerging my character up to its shins would result in water droplets on the screen. Pretty silly.

Did you the escalate the dispute or leave it for CJS to deal with via paypal?

Syther101 · 2 May 2012 at 15:01

Boom literally 5 minutes after submitted the dispute to paypal CJS have refunded the order

dakaiez · 2 May 2012 at 15:01

Yeah just checked, they don't even sell GW2 anymore.

I guess they don't want any more bother.

darkgunkx · 2 May 2012 at 15:02

Yeah, me and a mate were reduced to jumping through the portal into Queens at the same time repeatedly in an effort to wind up in the same instance. I'm pretty sure they're aware of the issue, so fingers crossed.

Other than that I'm amazed at how complete the game is - quite apart from the huge world, having stuff like comprehensive guild progression and perks in already is the way it should be done.

Did anyone do any crafting at the weekend? What's it like?

darkgunkx · 2 May 2012 at 15:09

i just hope arena have sorted all the affected gw1 accs before next beta as i wont be adding a new key till im sure its ok to

I kindve liked the crafting. Discovering items to make by experimenting with ingredients is good and is much better than having to buy vendor recipes. It was confusing to figure out how exactly it should work but once you do its easy and levelling your craft is quick.

They put lots of recipes prelearned which turned out to be a bit of a problem because I lacked understanding of how recipe discovery worked and basic things that you would most likely already had the resources for were already discovered so you missed an opportunity to learn because of them doing the easy recipes for you.

Apparently cooking is based on real life recipes/ingredients.

InKursion · 2 May 2012 at 16:59

I checked out the Cooking trainer and it came with a warning that Cooking is a very expensive and difficult profession choice! Strange, used to it being a secondary profession for everyone to use. How many professions can you take up?

Did you pay with Paypal or use a debit/credit card?

If its Paypal just dispute it straight away don't even contact CJS about it.

**edit** just seen the above just dispute it. I wouldn't waste your time emailing CJS.

Wow so now after contacting them I have no idea what is going on. I have been monitoring my PayPal and at one point it said their is a transaction which is yet to show in account history which I thought was my refund but no that has now gone and nothing is displayed now. I have asked CJS about the refund process and got this back

Thanks for now setting my order as Refunded

How long will it actually be before I receive the refund it self?

Thanks in advance

Check you account

Me - Wed, May 2 2012 3:57pm
What do you mean by this?

On my account on your site it does indeed say refunded but on both PayPal and checking my bank account nothing has changed? Nor Have I received any notification from PayPal of any funds being refunded

Thanks

You opened a dispute.

Now speak with PayPal

CJS - Wed, May 2 2012 4:18pm - Agent 16
Your key will be cancelled.

*sigh* I guess I leave it a few days to see if a refund comes through but I was hoping to get it sorted within an hour or so like others reported. Just my luck :/

Syther101 · 2 May 2012 at 17:31

They just replied this back

You opened a dispute.

Now speak with PayPal

Your key will be cancelled.

If you wish to deal with us you can close the dispute. We are willing to refund the purchase as you already knew. It is astounding that you opened a dispute!

Should I close the dispute and see if they refund?

dakaiez · 2 May 2012 at 17:36

It's up to you, i didn't open a dispute but got refunded only after they tried fobbing me off with Store Credit. I now have to wait 2-3 days for it to appear on my statement.

Syther101 · 2 May 2012 at 17:37

I have now got my self into a situation, Cause I can close it and hope they refund me but if they don't then I am unable to re-open the dispute.

God damm why can't this be simple xD
