Guild Wars 2

I’ve had no performance issues at all running the Mac Beta on default settings with my machine. One thing I have noticed though is that, compared to the Windows version, text that appears on the trading post (next to item icons) can be hard to read. This only seems to affect the TP and not text anywhere else in the game.

Also, this may be unrelated, but I can’t seem to search for an item in the TP with the Mac Beta.

Example:

I’m running a 15-inch, late 2011 MBP. A noticable decrease in audio quality compared to the Windows version is one of the main issues I’ve experienced on the Mac client – basically the exact issue described by Kerethril.

I can confirm this. It’d help if this message was somehow stickied. Here’s step-by-step instructions on how to do this. Credit goes to Lumaelie from the Reddit thread

For those who are confused, here’s a step-by-step tutorial for bootcamp users on how to copy your client from your windows partition to your Mac partition. I am using Mac OSX Mountain Lion and Windows XP on a late 2010 MacBook Pro, but it should be similar for other Mac systems.
Step 1: Download the official Mac client from your account page on Guildwars2.com.
Install the client and let the downloader patch itself to the point that you can see the login button and a download bar that is at 0% with about 218,000 files remaining. Then close the launcher.
Step 2: Locate the Gw2.dat file on your bootcamp drive.
To do this, open finder and then navigate to: Bootcamp>Program Files>Guild Wars 2
Note that this may not be correct if you chose to install GW2 to a different file location in Windows. If you are not sure where it is, boot up windows, right click your GW2 shortcut, and click properties. This should tell you the location of Gw2.exe. The Gw2.dat file that you want is in the same folder.
Step 3: Copy the file called Gw2.dat
Just right click the file and click “Copy ‘Gw2.dat’”. You will know you have the right file if it is approximately 15-17 GB in size (a HUGE file). This is the only file you need to copy; you do not need any other file from the folder.
Step 4: Locate the Gw2.dat file on your Mac partition
To do this, open finder and then navigate to: Macintosh HD>Applications
Find a file called “Guild Wars 2.app” and right click it. Click “Show Package Contents.”
Then navigate to: Contents>Resources>transgaming>c_drive>GW2
In this folder you should see another file called Gw2.dat, but it should be small. You can delete it if you want.
Step 5: Paste the Gw2.dat file into this folder. When it asks you if you want to replace the old file, hit “Replace.”
Note: you will not be asked to replace if you deleted the small Gw2.dat file before clicking paste.
And that should be it. Give it a few minutes to transfer over (about 10), and you’re done. Tell me if you need clarification on anything and I’ll try to help.

If there were a game company I fell in love with, it’d be you ANet. This was a wonderful surprise to see today! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!

I wouldn’t mind the long casting animation and cooldown if it revived defeated players (and worked as it should). Even if it wasn’t bugged it’s not all that useful right now. I’ve only gotten it to work only sometimes on NPCs with Earth attunement, and it still fails a lot.
