Guild Wars 2

I’m speaking generally? How well does it perform? I can go eSports on a MAC? Does it handle Razer peripherals well?

Hello?

Anyone?

A lot of Mac users prefer to use Bootcamp. That is because we lose a lot of performance because of it the program having to run through Cider.

I play on an IMac i7, and, while it is generally good just pottering about the world, I have to lower my graphics to Best Performance whenever there are a lot of people around such as at the event we have just done. If I don’t, my game is likely to crash.

I can also have crashes at random times too like when I go back to the character select screen or change maps.

I use a Razer Naga mouse but I haven’t bothered setting up the programmable buttons. I can’t comment on the eSports because I don’t know what they are

Ouch, that’s a little disheartening. Running bootcamp isn’t cool. Better to just play on a PC then. I was thinking about buying a Macbook Pro. But if I do, I don’t want Windows on it.

You might like to look through this thread which was about a similar issue and note Flaming Fox’s answer. https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/support/MAC-looking-to-upgrade-my-macbook/first#post5468489

All the same, if you want a new Mac, and you are prepared to cope with the annoyances, then I say ‘go for it’. It is not as if some PC users don’t have issues too and the graphics on the Mac are gorgeous.

I currently run a PC. An Acer laptop. I have zero issues. Thanks for the info though.

I bit the bullet the other day and booted up the game on my Win laptop. I have been resisting because I hate its teeny screen.

My friend and I explored Silverwastes. Suddenly I know how the other half lives. On the Mac, I have to lower my graphics to ugly if I venture in there and I still have the worry of disconnecting anyway. On the laptop, the graphics stayed on high and the game was fast (and pretty) and no crashes.

Sigh. The Mac client is rubbish.

I haven’t actually had issues with performance on the iMac aside from random crashing that I didn’t used to have last I was playing. I’ve been going back and forth with support trying to get it resolved, but so far they’ve just had me doing pretty basic stuff.
