This game would be great on the console market you have no idea how much people would be willing to play this but can’t because WVWVW and other events where a lot of players gather is to taxing on their measly pc. I seriously had to buy a 1.5 thousand dollar gaming laptop(im at college so desktop is not an option) to be able to run WVWVW on GW2 at high settings.
I don’t get it … buying a 1.5k laptop is an option, buying a 1k xbox+tv is an option. Buying a 600€ desktop system isn’t?
WvW isn’t something you want to do on a laptop on high settings. That is simply not meant to be.

Gonna ignore the first paragraph because that will be me basically trying to explain my own PERSONAL information as to why I don’t have a desktop right now so i’m going leave it at that.
On the other hand i play WVWVW at 30-40 fps on high settings on my laptop with it easily going above 60fps if i wanted to lower the settings a bit. You could say"it’s not meant to be" but yet i do it so…
It doesn’t matter what PC users don’t want, what matters is what console users want. If it’s coming for PS4 it’s not the PC users vote who counts but the console users. It seems like most PC users are ignorant and selfcentered. “CONSOLES SUCKS OMFG release GW2 for PS4 and i keeel youu!!”, more mature than a 12 year old.
Yes it is true but i understand where most are coming from after you spend time building your own PC it’s really hard to look at console gamer’s the same way. I made this thread hoping for some rational answers and so far i’m really not surprised at some of the comments PC gamers are coming up with. Not to say they aren’t rational but just.. (not in a bad way) typical.
Was gonna stop responding to this thread since it seems that majority of guys here don’t even want it. But anyway my 450 dollar Toshiba LAPTOP was running on Guild Wars 2 at around 15-20 fps during WVWVW and 30 FPS at all other times on those settings and it was running an amd apu a8 series which clocks at about 1.6 ghz each core (quad core). It seems like you are vastly underestmating what next-gen consoles and developers could do on those systems.
As was i but you missed the point again. Yes the devs can do a lot on those systems but they still cant just magically wave a wand and instantly make something that is gonna run well and provide the same performance. Your CPU actually runs at 2,3 or 2,5GHz with turbo on, the console chip has no such thing from what was revealed.
And did i ever say this port would be a bad things? Do you even read my posts? I said this could potentially be a very good thing even for us on PC as better multi core and just general optimization would do the game good.

I’ve been a student too, and I just accepted that I couldn’t play MMOs on high settings with a laptop. Also, I wouldn’t have spent 1500 euros on a laptop if I could spend half on a pc with monitor, and half on a decent school notebook. That’s just the way I’d have done it. That’s why I’m curious.

Ye sure but what temperatures do you have? Are you sure you’ll be able to have kids in 5 years? Will you buy a new laptop in 2 years when this one 100% guaranteed burns down?
Personally I’d have gone with lower graphics but sure, to each his own. I would never, ever recommend laptops for games. Extremely high end computer hardware is my day job btw.
If you really believe in the future and support the development in technology you wouldn’t say PCs have a brighter future than consoles. Atleast when it comes to Sony and Playstation, the japanese are just to good at this stuff, while Microsoft just keep doing their greedy bussiness and thinking.
Consoles ARE the future, they will get even more effective and smarter than they are and PCs will always be the same as they are. Time stand still for PCs.
Um…you do realize that consoles are just limited function computers right?
Person 1 buys a console, person 2 buys a PC. In 6 months, person 1 has the exact same thing, person 2 has the option of upgrading what they have. In a year, same thing. Two years, same thing, and so on.
Which device is stagnating?
^.^

Yes but they wouldn’t need a complete remake of their engine to run on consoles just alot of modifications as to what i said before. As for the last sentence of my post it wasn’t targeted at you but basically the way most people on this thread seem to have negative emotions towards the console audience for whatever reason.

Yes because i have my laptop running on my lap all the time right? Like i said it’s for personal reason’s I tend to travel on my off time and in the coming months i’m not gonna be home or at College for a career i really want to pursue so yea. On the other hand your getting completely off topic this isn’t a thread about why i use my laptop.

This entire thread is off topic since Guild Wars 2 on a console is like ordering a Big Mac at Pizza Hut.
My company laptop, which I use on my weekly travels, runs WvW on capped 30fps on lowest. I have to accept that. Theoretically I could put it on uncapped high which would give me 40fps, but I’ve got 2 problems with that. 1/ I want kids. 2/ My boss doesn’t want to buy me a new laptop every 12 months.

Why do you think that??

Because bi-weekly/monthly updates. Good luck convincing Sony and/or Microsoft to support that.
Consoles have strengths and weaknesses compared to PCs. RPGs and Adventure games like Final Fantasy, Fable and Zelda are strengths. MMOs are a weakness. And even though that might occasional be challenged (FF XI), MMOs as a fluid game genre doesn’t work on the rigid requirements of consoles, the exact same requirements that make Fable and Zelda such good games.
How’s that for a neutral argument?
