Guild Wars 2

How do gw2 run on your macbooks? I might get one soon, but how do they manage in wvw and so?

my ex-roommate played gw2 on her macbook pro. she said it didn’t look/run as well as my mac pro, but worked pretty good. she bought it new about a year ago, I think she got a 13" 2.5 GHz

I had a really subpar experience playing on a MacBook Air (shocker, I know). To be fair, this was the fully specced i7 (Intel HD 4000) with 8GB of RAM. Lowest settings, I got about 30fps on the 11" screen, and 13fps on an external monitor.

Note that the hardware requirements of the Mac client are higher. I believe this is because the Mac version is a port, so some performance is lost in translation. Just follow the minimum requirements (and preferably get a MacBook Pro with a discrete graphics card), and you should be fine.

Remember that you’ll get better performance for less money on a PC, so don’t let GW2 be the driving force for the MacBook purchasing decision.
