Guild Wars 2

Will the expansion be released on win & mac at the same time? What about the mac client (will it be supported)? Any news on that?

Pretty hyped with the announcement, it looked so cool
Thnx

Will there be a Mac Version of the expansion?

What’s more, what happened to the Mac forum, it may have been ‘slower’, but now it is nye impossible to find topics that are recent and relevant as they are quickly drowned out by PC comments.

The search function, I know, but it does not just come up with mac when ‘mac’ is typed in, it has everything that has those three letters.

So, seeing the above… it seems like Mac may be ‘dropped’ for the expansion? I would hope not, GW2 is really a great game. [The only issue being the TP having issues.]

Anyway, thanks!

omg, i didn’t even think about the possibility of it not being added to Mac, since the core game is already on there. PLEASE A-net! <3

Since the game is on Mac already its pretty obvious the expansion will be , the real question is if the expansion will be released on Mac at the same time as it will for Windows 7+.

If isn’t available for Mac that will be a major bummer. I’m guessing it will be since the Mac client is just a cider port. Hopefully Anet is already working with Transgaming on this.

Take your time Gaile, people are just aboard the Hype Train and just follow the momentum :P

And I’m just passing along that I hope Anet is already working with TransGaming (the company that does the cider port) so that it is a seamless transition once the Xpac comes out. We have seen problems in the past during some of the feature packs that caused problems for Mac users until there was a TransGaming update. So please pass that along to your Mac team so we can avoid such an issue. I’d hate for it to be an oversight.

Yep, I find it very hard to imagine it not coming to Mac simultaneously. The possibility that it won’t come is there, but I reckon very, very slim chance of that. I’m optimistic anyway (as well as very excited!!!)

I don’t expect it to be dropped, but mac support has been little to none for the last year or so. The most recent update to the client was in October, I think. I still can’t play with more than a few toons on the screen at once before it crashes. Too bad too, I was spending a lot in the store.

I play GW2 on Mac. It works perfectly fine! I don’t play with every graphic options set at max though, but I don’t play with the low spec settings either and it looks very very fine. Not the best, but as a non-PC user and GW2 player, this is the dream lol

And yes, I would be very disappointed if there was no mac version for HoT…

Yeah let’s just hope Anet has prepared for this and is working with their cider port provider TransGaming. I don’t want it to be like the time the feature pack came out and Mac customers could not use the trading post for weeks until the TG update.

This is the one thing I’d like to have confirmed one way or another as soon as possible… If at all possible

Just because it would be a major bummer if mac users were forced to wait and I’d rather be disappointed now than after reading all about how cool the expansion is going to be, just to hear we can’t play it xD

Thank you Gaile! Much appreciated <3
