Guild Wars 2

From my understanding, for higher quality textures and farther view distance, more GPU RAM is necessary. Therefore with 1 GB RAM you’ll be able to bump up both of those settings (for example). I’m not sure which other MMO you’re talking about, but I have no doubt that GW2 makes use of greater than 512K GPU RAM at times, though from what I can find on google it hovers around 550 for most users.

For what it’s worth, I play on a 2012 MBP Retina with the 650M 1GB, and it runs gorgeously in Bootcamp and very decently in OSX. IMO If you’re already spending a bunch of cash on a new MBP, just go for the extra GPU RAM.

Worked perfectly first time, I’m using an iPhone with Google Authenticator. I used the QR scanner, and it worked immediately. Very pleased.

I agree that a “Remember this computer for X days” would be a welcome feature, or only require authentication for a new IP address. Something to keep the utility of the authentication, but cut down on the annoyance. Regardless, great feature and thanks!

There is a stow button, and in many ways the current system works.

So if they just added an checkbox in the options menu “manually stow and call pets” then everyone wins. No drama, no fuss.

Normal.1823:

The 10.8.2 version maintains a fairly consistent 10fps over the 10.8.1 version.

I can confirm this. The update makes a significant difference. Happy news!

Getting about the same FPS, but with (roughly) 30% lower settings. Everything was on almost full when in bootcamp, now I’m running at medium to high with shadows at low. The other thing I’ve noticed is stuttering. My FPS at these settings is a very decent 40-60 but then will drop suddenly to 15-20 for a few seconds at a time.

I think the theory that nvidia card Macs are seeing poorer performance in OSX compared to ATI card Macs is a reasonable one, and also gives me hope that there’s a solution.

Can you let us know what Mac you’re running this on? I’d like to know what to expect, as it seems results are varying wildly between systems.

There’s another good thread on this already that I think ANet may be monitoring for responses: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/ranger/Pets-and-a-Lack-of-F2-Responsiveness

- Polar bear can be very slow.
- Raven is slow but not nearly as bad.
- Marsh drake is ridiculously slow to the point of me giving up on that pet entirely
