Guild Wars 2

Just logged in for the first time for 5 minutes to see if the game ran OK. Don't want to spoil it so skipped everything and clicked next to just get into the game.

For people who care, I have a AMD 955 at stock, ATI 5830 and 8GB DDR3. I'm running at 1080p and it was DX9. Rough fps at human start zone was 40-80 fps on rock bottom low, 30-40 fps on medium and around 20 fps on ultra.

Ultra looked very, very nice IMO. Low there's a lot of jaggies but that's what you expect (could have also been the subsampling). I would like some more optimisation on the minimum fps, but it's not bad at all and very playable. Note I did not try WvW but did look at long view distances. I'm very excited and can't wait to play on launch!

@gamertoons Stress Tests are only available for pre-purchasers. BWE3 promo codes were good ONLY for BWE3--NOT for Stress Tests. ^RB

I have pre-ordered it rather than pre-purchasing it so won't be able to take part in the stress test.

Hmm.. I haven't pre-purchased yet I managed to get to log in and get to the character screen before it crashed, will e interesting to see if I can actually play it.

EDIT: I can indeed play it without pre-purchasing it, it seems the GW2 team were lying.

Logged in quickly to check performance, better than previous beta events. Actually using 100% GPU with a decent 1.2GHz core clock now.

Supersamping kills performance, as does increasing shadow quality. FXAA appears as good as free.

Input is very laggy though, even with 80 FPS the mouse look is like moving through sludge. Very unresponsive and delayed.
 
I have noticed no input lag and I get as high as 64FPS and as low as 38FPS, still runs smooth and you cant really notice the frame differences, well, I can't anyway :D
 
Thought id love Asurans but after trying it tonight i find them so irritating, Norn Necro for me as my main I reckon.

Ive joined up to the Immortals website and filled out the form and everything, am I right in thinking that we will be on Desolation? Thanks.

Just checked usage, only getting around 60% on my 5830 and the same on my AMD 955 at medium settings 1080p. That's 30-50 fps. Hopefully that will get better?..

I did the same a few days ago. Filled out the join us page, but still no response. Dunno what is happening;p

As far as tonight goes it was fantastic wvwvw. Large scale battles trying to secure a bridge and a control point between. Nice to see all 3 server factions fighting over the same territory.

As for my main well I reckon it will be Ele. It is either that or Necro, with my alt being a Mes.
