Guild Wars 2

[LokiS]

I'll just wait for tomorrow, it will be messy tonight.

The game looks very impressive from watching a live stream, but only one issue i see is that the movement looks very floaty/slowish. Is it just the stream or is it like that in game too?

The characters feel very much like they do in GW1 in terms of movement.

 

[churchhawk]

Framerate is very very poor.

 

[Vuvuzela]

I thought you could transfer servers on this beta? I'm still stuck on my old server and want to play with my guild...

 

[ThomBassmonkey]

I just got kicked out and can't get back in again now. Doh!

 

[Devious]

I couldnt find in the short time I played in the options where to control mouse look speed. he default was too fast for me.

 

[eekfek]

crashed and having same problems getting back in **back running**

The game seems laggy but understandable considering there's about 6 zillion players questing but engineer seems fun so far.

Some quick questions whilst the servers are down:

- Does anyone know how to disable the camera snapback? In the options menu there is a keybind for something along these lines but it still doesn't do the trick! I hate it in MMO's when the camera will snap back towards whichever direction your character moves in. Very annoying.

- With chat in local (which I assume is the same as /say), how do you see people's speech bubbles? I swear in previous beta footage everyone had speech bubbles when they communicated. Does this just not happen for local?

 

[rwm24]

I don't know what it's like on other servers but the lag makes it unplayable on Desolation

FPS is fine though, got everything maxed out and it's smoooooth.

 

[Gazanimal]

OK, who crashed the Desolation server.

FPS is low but with loads of people online at once it's hardly surprising, plus SLi & Crossfire not working doesn't help either.... especially when trying to stream

 

[InKursion]

Oh and is anyone else noticing that GW2.exe's priority keeps auto-setting itself to 'Low' in Windows? Even when I minimize out and set it to High... it reverts back to Low afterwards. Can someone else verify this?

 

[TheBrooder]

how do I get back to starter area?

 

[DerbyCore]

OK, who crashed the Desolation server.

Might well be all the servers, I'm trying to get in GW1 and failing at the moment

 

[Gackt]

Hopefully performance will improve between now and release.

it was the same the other 2 beta's mate! very laggy

 

[olivier renault]

oh well, will give it a shot later. couldn't get past character creation. Time for some Game of Thrones to get in the mood.

 

[ColEx]

What kind of lag are you guys getting? Network lag or FPS lag? Obviously the game is beta and optimizations are not finished yet.

 

[jonneymendoza]

fps is not good especially in build up areas. gettinga s low as 20s yet my cpu usage is not even 50% and my gpu on around 60% usage.

i7 920 clcoked at 4ghz and a 480gtx clocked at 580gtx speeds. 6gb ram too.

I am also getting lag especially in heavy battles.

i am not complaining. this is what stress tets beta is for. to fix these issues

 

[eekfek]

damn, false start !! it got to the character screen and basically hung there unable to do anything.

think I'll make a brew and something to eat whilst it's down...

Hopefully performance will improve between now and release.

It should, Arenanet stated that the CPU is currently being overstressed, not to overclock anything, and to disable SLI / Crossfire so I've set my bios and afterburner settings to default now.
