Guild Wars 2

STILL having numerous issues because of a poor Mac port, and yet the company continues to advertise multi-platform play. You are selling a broken product to mac users. Either ditch Mac altogether or finish a stable, working client. Please!

Deleted my post?

I can’t help but agree with this statement.

This tbh.
We can’t even raise awareness about Anet ignoring our section of the community because anytime we post in a section that actually gets traffic our threads either get outright deleted or get moved here.

They treat us like we got the game for free or something…like we didn’t pay the same $60 everybody else did.
I think i speak for everyone who bought this game for mac when i say I thought it would be out of beta by now.

I’ve gotten infracted about 5 times just trying to bring awareness to this issue I didn’t curse or insult anyone or anything…(i wouldn’t believe someone that said this either)

It amazes me how little they care about this issue.

Hate to be that guy again – but they are advertising a product in BETA. Beta never implies a fully functional product, nor is it a guarantee of a fully functional product in the future.

When you purchased your account with the plan to play on a mac you knew exactly what you were buying because they explicitly put the beta tag there.

It won’t let me edit my post so I have to double post…

I just want to add that I’m not at all saying there aren’t massive issues both with the client and with their communication to and treatment of the OSX playerbase. But they have advertised the client as exactly what it is, so you can’t really complain about that.

I understand your point but what i can expect is that it doesn’t get worse with nearly every update. Offering a beta client implies for me that someone cares about it. This is happening for sure, at least someone cares…but in my eyes halfhearted. When you just have to run an update on OSX before launching it to see that it will break the game means not that much effort.

I’m totally okay with some non criticial performance issues but in the end i bought this game to play it. In the moment it frustrates me very often. I’m up to run Bootcamp…Anet you got me this far.

Although I feel your frustration as I’m a Mac user myself, we must remember that due to the size of the game, that it’s not just the Mac Beta that has problems!

We do, however, suffer from a lot more bugs though than the Windows client. But Windows users aren’t without frustrations themselves.

My 2 cents is the game has been pretty poor in stability throughout the Living story cycle, worst of all after Scarlet appeared, especially the marionette. I cannot ever agree that having a beta label excuses lack of commitment to the customer. If it was a free to play game then yes we can’t complain, to a point anyway the user always is entitled to express their opinion as far as I’m concerned. I’m sure the company has plenty of lawyers to defend them so ANet defenders in forums are quite redundant.

I still recommend this title over anyother mmorpg but I would also be honest and say exactly what its failures are and there are many. I was hoping we’d have less bugs after Living story has ended but seems not to be the case, despite the numerous issues that emerged new builds were released frequently to counter it.

bugs are okay for me. every game have bugs, can accept that.
but how can i accept the trading post is always blank for mac users?
i wonder how can i continue playing this when i can’t even sell my iron ore.

Apart from a few small bugs/crashes the game is working fine on my iMac…

Over the past 2-3 days, that’s a true statement.

Other than that, not ALL Mac users have perma-blank TP’s. Mine was working fine till I woke up yesterday morning.

70% at most the tp will work consistently in my experience without a need for a restart, not great odds if my mobile phone or broadband provider were so poor I’m lynch them. As selling stuff on the go is very important in this game and is unique as I wasn’t able to do this in other mmos I played it is a real nuisance when it doesn’t work. I’m a hoarder and don’t have the biggest bags either, inventory management has always been my bane for over 20yrs in games hehe. In the defence of this beta I’ve not suffered too much compared to the average windows user I’ve been able to keep up with most Living stories and what not so I’ve had my fun for the £29.99 I spent on this. To date the only online game I ever paid for!

To add I haven’t ever needed to do any fancy debugging to keep the game running fine so for the vast majority of the hours and hours lost to this title it’s been great, do hope when this finally is out of beta we will see a vast improvement, I can’t play the game at minimal settings as it’s ugly but I must for the harder Jumping puzzles as I’m quite bad at them ^^, an extra 5 fps really makes a difference
