Guild Wars 2

Science we were moved from Living World into Lagging World after patch, I can’t do any zerg activities. I just recorded 2 FPS in Temple of Lyssa. I can’t do anything at there, lost loots and got kill.

How many loots we lose a day? How long shall we suffer? Should we get compensation?

and yet I’m still better at using a golem in marionette defense than most people :P
I find wvw the most unplayable. can’t react to anything and players tend to be able to kill other players in under a second, so that’s 3 frames I have to do anything meaningful.

For a person who plan to obtain precursor and craft legendary weapon, losing world bosses loots in this period make the whole progress lag behind.

^ I second that, because…. I’m making one and getting 500 Wvw badges is my last step!!!

Sent a PM to Gaile to see if this might be a possibility or at least to get some visibility to this post. Her response, “Sorry, that’s not my area of expertise.”

Feel the love everybody, feel the love….

We should be compensated…the game us unplayable. I can’t do anything…dungeons, world events, nothing. We’re losing more loot and gold as this drags on.

I managed to get my dailies done…it is a pain in the kitten.

I seriously doubt there would be a way for Anet to offer compensation to Mac customers even if they wanted to. Having a GW2 account gives access to both PC and Mac version. There would probably be no way for Anet to verify Mac only customers in an effort to compensate them for lost time. If they did advertise some sort of compensation suddenly every person that has a GW2 account would be a Mac customer.

It’s been painfully obvious we’re the “your call is important to us” territory for a while now. Really, the options are either try to find fixes on our own, make ANet aware, and just wait it out for a few months or quit the game. There really isn’t any point making demands because that kind of assumes they care about Mac users to any degree. Once we start seeing things like patch notes that detail expected bugs and areas for us to test in this “beta” or them renaming the beta to hobby or whatever I’ll at least have some faith in ANet to tell us the truth/have some level of communication with us. Until then, really don’t try to communicate with them on any meaningful level because you’ll just get frustrated and angry. There is no point in stressing yourself out yelling at a wall.

Edit: And if we do get some type of compensation I’ll take ANet actually talking to us in a conversation as being good compensation.

They should be able to tell actually, playing an MMO involves data being sent both ways so I imagine that something lets them know which players are using OSX. I’d be surprised if they didn’t because knowing the statistics for who is playing from what Operating System is actually pretty important. They need to know where to allocate resources and I imagine one of the reasons OSX receives such little support is because they know the numbers and they aren’t massive. It’s just a matter of whether or not it would be worth it for them – which I don’t imagine it would be.

Also you can’t provide mass compensation to mac users – because that’s giving compensation to a lot of people who probably weren’t even trying to play or hadn’t played the game in a long time. So really it would be pretty difficult for them to sufficiently narrow down WHO deserved compensation. Then there’s also the question of what they are compensating you for – everyone plays different parts of the game. Then the question of what they compensate you with – because if they gave away anything decent for free there would be a MASSIVE uproar from windows customers. Look back to the Lost Shores event, SOOOOO many people complained because they didn’t get a precursor from the end chest and some people did….

Exactly, what does software designated as “beta” mean to you?
