how good do you guys think it will run? when leveling or when WvW? Im probably going to have it at minimum.

It should run just fine on that.

I would still been using that card if it didnt break like 2 years ago.

26% dl hype lol

I used to play on a laptop that could handle gw2 on medium settings, but i had to stop because it started to overheat a lot, even with cooling pad and changing the fan didnt help. So i think keeping an eye on the cpu temperature for laptop is more important than the minimum system requirements for gaming.

good point tbh i never thought about my laptop overheating

PvE should be okay at 1366 × 768 minimum quality. I recommend a EU (European) server even if you’re in the US. Your computer is going to struggle in US servers because there’s too many characters and skill effects to show on the screen. EU servers have less people but definitely enough people to play with, and they speak English.

I don’t think your computer can handle US WvW. Even powerful computers struggle with it. If you plan to do a lot of WvW definitely go EU. Ask for a good but smaller server on the WvW forums.

I absolutely disagree with this. While your rig might not handle max settings or anything, I previously had a weaker set-up and handled U.S. WvW fine. Welcome to the game!

alright thanks for the heads up, but i want to have good ping. but i might consider this if its really laggy, but i dont mind minimum settings, i play most games that way since my comp isnt good and id rather have higher more stable fps.

btw im seeing that there is no “raiding” in this game? but theres end game bosses to kill in open world? arent there dungeons?

Be aware…the percentage shown in the download bar references number of files downloaded…not the amount of data. Usually, a new install is somewhere between 16 and 20GB.

Welcome to Tyria, and happy adventuring! =)
