Guild Wars 2

I got the invitation (hooray!), but I’m on a Mac (oh no!).
I’m guessing the easiest way to try out the stress test is to rename the file as gw2.exe and place it in the same directory. Did anyone try that on the last stress test and can confirm if that works? It did open the login screen for me and started downloading some files…

I got an invite as well. Quite disappointing that they don’t have a Mac specific download.

The invitations are only for Windows users?
ArenaNet Thanks for thinking of us.

so got the invitation too!!!! buuuuut no game…. just for windows only

Use Boot camp to install Windows , or use Boot Camp with Parallels desktop.

Macintosh Beta status strikes, again.

Just as an FYI, putting the .exe file in the directory: /Applications/Guild Wars 2.app/Contents/Resources/transgaming/c_drive/GW2/ (if you have GW2 installed in /Applications) and renaming it to gw2.exe does indeed work.
You’ll have to rename the original gw2.exe and remember to change it back to go back to the normal client.

I tried this and it seemed to work, but I’m not sure. I copied it in and opened the client, which seemed to start downloading the whole game. When it got past playable, I clicked play, and was taken to character creation. I made a character, but when I tried to skip the end cinematic, the client closed (or crashed, maybe). When I reopened it, it started another huge download, this time without any “playable point” marked.

Is this what’s supposed to happen?
