Has only one person tried the Mac client?
If it behaves itself I'll be playing a lot more often, as I'm only ever in Windows for gaming and rebooting is a pain
Runs fine for me , not quite as high fps as under windows but perfectly playable so far
Guild Wars 2

Runs fine for me , not quite as high fps as under windows but perfectly playable so far
Can someone give me some advice on improving my game FPS.
I have the following Setup.
AMD Phenom II X550
AMD Radeon 4870
4GB Ram
If i had a choice of CPU or GPU upgrade which one would i see the most improvement from, ive gone to a few sites that suggest the bottleneck is more likely my CPU than GPU. I have most of the settings on low at 1650 res and im getting anything from 12fps in some areas to 40fps in others. Despite lowering Res and or making everything low seems to make very little difference in FPS.
I have noticed my CPU cores max out so more evidence poitning to CPU upgrade to a Phenom II X6 perhaps? how can i tell if my Radeon is struggling to cope over the CPU?

You might as well throw in an extra hundred smackers and grab an Intel i5 with a mobo that supports sandybridge. Saves wasting much more in the future. Your card will be able to hold it's own for a while, but the Phenom II X6, nor any AMD CPU for that matter will be capable of much at all in a few years.
We had a guild WvWvW run tonight, one that we kinda tried to do as team, after a few skirmishes won some lost some, we took camp and decided to hold it.
There was 12 from our guild we held this camp after about 10/15 waves from Vizunah, think there was around 20, we then also got attacked from Far Shiverpeaks around the same number, and in the next 6/7 waves getting hit from both sides we never lost this camp.
Should add here after about the 5/6th wave more players joined us in holding the camp (about another 4/6 players)
I then swapped and used map/say to give directions most listened not all, and we never lost that base.
The attacking groups got bigger and bigger and came close a few times but never got it off us.
The point here is not to say we great, but to get across that we can beat these two server, just need more cooperation one one person running these battles.
...O and it was great fun
...and on a sad note after much badgering (no pun intended) we have dropped the Beaver as our guild emblem
... its a sad day lads!!

Just logged on to check the WvW matchups for the week and my server (Gunnar's Hold) are against Desolation again, could be a great week of WvW!
Anyone on Desolation keep and eye out for LoE!
Also if anyone is still after a guild and make a short application on our forums just mention overclockers and Lynt so that the officers know who's applied. We're an old school guild that's mainly concentrating on WvW but also have PvE nights, been around since Ultima Online and have many of the original members still.

Glad to see WvW happening
I'm still 44 too much going on
What level is everyone's main?
Grab and i3 + 7850 and you'll be sorted, or if you have a bit more cash grab an i5.
The wife plays on an i3 2120 + 560 (non Ti) and it's smooth as a babies bottom.
Posted at 00:36 - wasn't the guild group going to start at about 00:30 when the WvW reset? Did it reset early? Oh, and R.I.P. Beaver
It's now a Phoenix, so sad the Beaver is gone, yup we went in at change, which was about 20/30 mins later than what they said.
Unfortunately after a) getting the main garrison, b) then trying to protect the orb, we got raped by gunners hold, was only about 20 immortals in, the rest of the server seemed intent on running around like headless chickens capturing everything, but not having the a) resources to hold it, b) or the ability gunners hold was able to steam roll us!
To be fair we as a guild made a lot of mistakes (see we as being mostly me
), but we also learned a lot.On another note with the game being out a few weeks now numbers have settled, so we are recruiting again, www.mmo-guild.co.uk, join web site, fill out the very short (about 5 questions I think) join us link, mention you from here, and whisper any officer online for a invite.
Remember if you do join we a mains/one guild only. I.E if you join us. Then we expect you to represent us at all times.

Is this game to sensitive to OCs or something?
My 7950 TF3 runs everything so far [email protected] (Crysis, Heaven max settings loop, Skyrim, DayZ) with no issues but GW2 it would crash within 30mins-1hour of gameplay. Get the error message "display drivers has stopped responding". Max temps 72c.
Had to clock the card back to 1075Mhz @ 1.137v for stability! Max temps now 71c. What gives?

There seems to be quite a few exploiters in WvW recently. Reading the GW2 forums there seem to be 2 main things, mesmers who can glitch a portal into an enemy keep, allowing them to teleport players into a keep and bypass having to destroy the door. and there is also some sort of 'fly hack' as several players have been spotted flying into a keep/tower and bypassing all defences/walls and just killing the keep lord, and also using this exploit to steal orbs of power.
The devs need to spend less time punishing farmers and nerfing grinding spots and more time punishing exploiters.

For sure, funny enough I saw a guy flying today, thought/think it was one of those drinks you get that change you into a animal/bird etch

oh i know that, i just dont fancy travelling around the entire map finding one, a point in the right direction would save much time and silver.
im suprised they didnt fix catapults hititng your own door from the inside to destroy rams/stop people using them.
surely its abuse of a games mechanic in a way it was never designed for?

Look in the water areas, bloodtide coast and the one below it.
