Guild Wars 2

Just wondering if any of you guys could give me an idea what sort of graphics I should expect with this set up?

Intel i5 2500k
8GB Ram
XFX 6950 2GB unlocked shaders
I'd hope this would be enough to play maxed out? Any got a similar set u that has played the betas?
cheers

Should be able to max it no problems, i had a solid 60fps on high settings and vsync on with a I5 3570k @ stock with a 5770 1GB.
I have around 60+ fps in in the game and in most hubs it does not change much maybe 5/8 frames.

In world V world when the fights are like 50 odd players I'm sitting around 35/40fps.

So you should be able to run it very high if not maxed.
What server is everyone going on when the game drops? High/Med/Low Pop?
Desolation will have the most from here on it, and is one of the busiest servers. ..by quite a way
 
Personally as an ex-GW1 player I'm being sucked in by the world name so its either Underworld or Fissue of Woe.

Does anyone know if you can be a member of a guild even if they reside on a different world?

Even if you could you would not be able to do wvwvw with them.
Being on a busy server specially one as packed as desolation will only mean 1 thing.

Long queues to get on and massive queues for WvW.
This be true but its worth it in the long run, as things even out.

Our guild and alliance are nearly 1500 strong and won't be picking a server until the very last minute.

There is no queues, if you all create on Desolation and it's full it'll move you to the overflow server until a space free's up on the main server. You then have a choice of switching to it or staying on the overflow and party members can come to you.

WvWvW will be busy though.
 
The overflow server while great in that you can at least play, you won't be able to join wvw until you on your actual server, and going by the BWE events getting into WvW on a busy server will take hours of waiting.

I'd rather be on a low/med population server of guild/alliance members who co-ordinate than a zerg fest like desolation.
 
As v1bez said Anet have been touting off their overflow system for a while now, they say it means we will never experience queues to get into the game, let's hope it works as flawlessly as they say it will. :p

WvW may end up being a problem though, but it's kind of swings and roundabouts at least you can play the game and do other stuff while queued up.

If you press 'B' you can queue up for your home servers WvW from any overflow server.
 
I have an i5 760 at 4ghz and GeForce 470. I had to turn the graphics down a bit as my fps didn't seem that good :(. I should have used Fraps to find out the fps properly.

I imagine it will get better with time due to optimising etc. I've found that with other mmos.
 
We played Desolation on beta. My guild has decided to go elsewhere for the reason that everyone will join Desolation judging by its good pvp performance so they want to go somewhere quieter and carve a new name there :).

:rolleyes:

So because its a poplar server, guilds wont be coordinating :p

That must be something new then as you couldn't do that before, had to go mists and join that way :)

Need patch notes!

Thought it was always there cretainly was in the last test.

In all the BWE I played on Desolation but got fed up of the queue's for WvWvW, so like others I think I'll look for a less populated server and that also means less chance of having to side with those naughty pesky ruski's !! :p

Of course not, but on a low/med pop server the chances of fielding a WvW of highly co-ordinated people is far greater than a full server which will have a mix of teams and random's :)

I know for one, i'd rather be in WvW with 500 guild/alliance members on a low population server than 400 randoms and 100 guild/alliance members on a full server. And more importantly, i'd like to do WvW when I want to, not when the server dictates :P

mm lots of the other servers have Russians guilds on them far bigger than rus corp, just look at guild alliance and see Fubar alliance.
