Guild Wars 2

I can’t name any zone in this buggy mess that doesn’t have zone-breaking bugs of some type or another. The OP got the subject title completely right. Every aspect of this buggy mess has an UNFINISHED and rushed to market feel to it (other than the artwork, which is very well done).

I just tried my first dungeon (CM story mode) with a random party, and what a buggy mess it was. Shame on Anet for releasing this in this state. I can see now that beta testing was a sham, nothing more than a marketing event. I will NOT recommend anyone buy this buggy mess (I cant really call it a game).

When the “enter story mode with my party” option appeared on screen i clicked it. NOTHING happened. I enter the dungeon through the portal, get the enter with party option, click it, im now in an empty instance and all my party members are in their own instances that are also empty.

I logout, log back in, rejoin party, enter the instance. Now all the party members are together. But now my chat doesnt work (keeps deleting whatever I type), and NONE of my skills work. Cant even click on the skills, nothing happens. Logout, log back in again, rejoin party, enter the dungeon, AND I GET AN EMPTY INSTANCE AGAIN.

These arent just some simple bugs, these are major cannot play the game bugs.

A big Thank You to ArenaNet for adding Mac support!

See my signature for machine specs.

The Mac client installed without a problem. I found that frame rates were about 20% to 30% lower than bootcamp. Slightly jerky while rotating the view but still playable in 1050 and 840 height modes. Graphics setting: Best Performance.

However, I experienced a GPU lockup within 1 hour of play. This happened several times, and it happened whether running fullscreen, or in windowed mode. The mouse would still be active, but the screen was otherwise frozen. Sometimes I could remote login (SSH) and reboot the Mac, other times I could not even get a remote login prompt.

So sadly, I have to go back to bootcamp, where I have not experienced any GPU lockups after several days of play (before the Mac client was available).

Wasn’t working yesterday (after clearing guildwars2.com cookies), emailed forums@arena.net about it.

Today its working after clearing the cookies again. Looks like its fixed.
