Guild Wars 2

Hi..

Wanted to know if it is worth returning. I bought GW2 at launch but never really played it.

I might like to add that I’m on a Mac now.

I’ve been into World of Warcraft for two months now, but am very curious about Guild Wars 2 again.

I was curious… is it a very active game? Are there many players online all at one given point of time?

Is it worth coming back to?

Are there plenty of helpful guilds and players that may be able to assist a player that is essentially “new”?

Thanks.

I’ve always played on the mac client and I’ve rarely had problems with it. Using a 2012 macbook pro with intel i7, 8gb ram, and intel hd graphics 4000, which are relatively crappy. I would NOT wait for a native client as I highly doubt anet will ever release one. Its 3 years into the game and its still the “beta client”.

The mac client crashes A LOT, just to let you know.

Does it at least play okay, or should I stick with WoW until a true native release is out for GW2?

It seems to depend on your Mac from what I have seen. It plays well on my 2012 iMac but I’ve seen others in the Mac forums have various problems. I would not hold my breath for a native Mac client. We just got another Mac specialist in the Mac forum the other day, 1 person, the others have come and gone. That should tell you something as to the future of lack there of of a native client. Best just load up the game and give it a try.

To answer your other questions the world appears more populated now due to Mega servers. So you will usually see many people in most places. With that, yes there are a lot of good guilds out there. I suggest you ignore the ones that constantly spam chat though, they just want numbers for guild influence.

Sounds great. Downloading and installing… Will give it a try for a while before I make a final decision if I should play GW2 or WoW.

Dougiefresh, I have the same model as you… Should work fine, I’m hoping. ;-)
