Guild Wars 2

appears to be fixed after last patch. Thx.

Various parts of the terrain disappear unless you turn a certain direction. No characters show, only shadows.

Confirmed. I had the same issue in chapter 1.

Ran the new Mac client on a 2016 MacBook Pro for about 2 hours. Looks better, launches faster and no problems so far. !!!

It’s pretty easy to set up. Open System Preferences/keyboard. Click the shortcuts tab. At the bottom, you will see an option for Function keys. Click that and then add the Guild Wars 2.app file and you’re all set. When you launch the program, the touchbar will show all of the normal F keys.

Did I see a flying mount in there?

I thought the megaserver system was supposed to take care of the empty map issue.

Just put the Mad King’s Clock Tower in one of the pvp maps. If you can get to the top 5 times in an hour, you’ll get a full set of super-duper ascended gear and a flying pony mount.

There’s nothing harder than pvp against people you can’t out-gear. If you can’t be competitive with a particular class, build a new character.

Personally, I like the game the way it is. Anyone that is finishing the content in 2 hours is probably missing most of it. In GW2, it’s the journey that’s fun, not the destination.

I’m having the same experience as Mystic. Better, but still not great.

After the patch, my frame rate dropped whenever there are other characters on the screen. In fact, if you on the outskirts of a zerg looking at it, my frame rate drops to about 2-4. If I turn around and look at empty landscape, it jumps back up to 30+. It seems to only have a problem painting other characters on the screen.

I seem to recall this very same issue before the game actually came out when we were trying to run it in wine. Once the Official beta came out the problem was gone.

Good Luck devs!

Here is the error message I get when TgUpdate tries to run:

Holy smokes. I’m getting nowhere with this event. First I hit the Noll bug only to find out that the rest of the quest chain expired on time and was no longer available. Then I write about my problems with the boss fight and my forum post gets accidently deleted, for crying out loud.

Then I spend over 2 1/2 freaking hours doing the Boss event to where we are finishing up the last wave and the thing freezes except for me and one little guy hopping around. Eventually I get the message that I’ve been disconnected from the server.

I try to come back on and get dumped into an overflow until after the event finishes. GRRRRR….. I really wanted to see the end of that, not to mention the chest!

Made for a very frustrating weekend.
