Guild Wars 2

At least it’s good to know our audience isn’t so small as i expected =)

+1 to Collero

Also all these things are very easy to understand and detect, i am so sad devs don’t even discuss it

My 2 cents about match-waiting:
One of the important things apart of balance, MMR and other top tier esports stuff is HOTM jail. I believe we spent there just queuing more time than drug-dealers prisoners in real jails. When it ends? Any normal person will get this problem on second day of playing. Does it mean that Anet pvp devs do not play pvp at all? If i am wrong and they do, please let us know what kind of tolerance meditation they use, cos you need to teach us.

There are so mane things in the world we could do before, under queuing.

who the heck dislikes him on youtube?

How many posts and views do we need to reach to get any answer from dear devs?

Guys i see lots of activity in this thread which is very good! Please keep posting and make waves.

Wine/Crossover:
Is it possible just build the crossover’s gw2 client by players?

1. I agree that wine provides great efficiency nowadays. There is a guy – Paul the Tall who works with mentioned software and does very good job. He ports old and new interesting games and most of the run very very smooth. If someone can construct good wrapper + guide for us it would be great!

2. We need proper answer from Anet about could we possibly use all these tweaks with the client? Last thing we want is ti get banned =)

x64 cider even beta would be dream for us boiz =(

Hi Strike,

I play on 2013 Pro Retina, with NVIDIA card.

I used to have graphic issues playing using NVIDIA, so i swap my gaming to Iris Pro and it goes well now.

Lowest settings, Iris Pro, 2048×1280 resolution works pretty well actually. I have about 35+ fps in team fights in yoloQ.

Temperature:
With turbo boost it is about 70-80 degrees
Without – 60-70

If you have any questions just let me know

Author rly plays raged Q almost all the time. Great video though =)

help me too please

My friend dduff.3860 is also struggling right now. Can you help please?

Try to play on intelHD and check if you still have this problem. Can you please post update results here?

I agree with mikeew, and with f2p model more and more mac players start playing the game

With the recent patch them made some changes, i don’t have overheating issues anymore again. Thanks Anet

ciavyn – i hope to get native mac client someday <3

With that great news of expanding of our community can we get native mac os client? =)

I have found when it was:

Bug Fixes:
Fixed a performance issue with rendering the UI.
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/info/updates/Game-Update-Notes-March-16-2015/first#post4912416

Last time i had the same troubles and that bugfix solved my problems with overheating and FPS

So for Windows client it solved the problems too. My brother and friends were so happy to get FPS back

ciavyn.7964 – thanks for detailed info, but it doesn’t work for me. Also with the latest patch i have overheating..

Last time when everyone had the same things even on Windows, Anet did something with GUI and made a patch which solved the problem for everyone. I hope to see some official answer from developers. Not only Mac users has FPS, performance and overheating issues at this moment.

That was so obvious Karl you do that! And all these nerfs will be done only to balance improvisation, which will be must have since then. I understand you don’t hear customers feedback but do you personally play your game at least?

what GPU do you use while playing?

funny topic)

one of prev. games – starts from 1h05m
http://www.twitch.tv/brunners90/b/656158419

with the report sent to Anet to each of these letters, i always ask these guys back to give me at least 10gold for opening the link in the letter. Scam the scammers =)
No one replied back though =(

i thought you are pvp boy Sam =(

I remember when phd couldn’t beat condi necro 1v1 using his kitten condiwar build he created the topic below:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/archive/balance/Necro-s-becoming-too-op/first

i enjoyed Mozart =)

Ranva.8024:

while having multiple renderers for the same game is possible (see WoW, Civ 5) it requires the game be built with that in mind from the get go.

if you haven’t built your game from the ground up with this in mind (usually to have a DX and OGL renderer) then it is ALOT of work convert it.

I still wish for an openGL Version for us Mac / Unix users.

indeed

i sent them letter back saying: i will open the link for 10 gold.
no response with 10g yet =(

Thanks for the info loseridoit
Just to make a note: all games, except GW2, i play using Nvidia GPU heat GPU at least more than 65+, while in GW2 it is cold as non-used

Brother Grimm: good idea actually, i will open the ticket today and keep this thread updated

thanks for the answer, we are still waiting for any feedback from players and Arena Net office

These issues happen only in GW2, also wimanya has AMD Video Chip and the same trouble.

Small update: i played on iGPU for 2 days and didn’t see any of screen glitches like i mentioned in my first post.

Anet please repair the client, everyone on MAC could play with better experience.

Doesn’t matter if its Nvidia or AMD. Its going to be a driver support issue. I HIGHLY suggest investigating that you guys are running the latest stable GPU drivers for your MACs.

I have the latest version of Nvidia software for my OS.

Provided from Nvidia.com or from the Mac driver website?

This is not an issue. Nvidia supplies their drivers directly to Apple and you can find them only using Apple Software Update system. So the drivers are correct. We use the latest stable version of drivers for sure.

Good day Chaps, good day Anet!

I randomly decided to see yesterday how is my Integrated GPU will run GW2 and what fps drop i will have. The result was …see What a Twist pic attached!

Integrated Video provides more FPS, it is more stable – i tried to run in zerg at EB and it was incredible experience: no FPS drops, no glitches, i could turning around without any hint on FPS drop.

I tried to tweak config file and work with it but the most stable and good FPS was with Default file.

I also noticed, that when i play with Nvidia GPU it is almost not using any resources for the game. Even the temperature of Nvidia chip is like i am doing nothing special. I guess we have these glitches (see attached file) cos of this issue. Integrated Video doesn’t provide any type of glitches or something else.

Anet, please find attached all files for your investigation of the problem. How can we make our Discrete GPU Works? You will solve a lot of problems with MAC users solving this.

These things were tested on the same laptop of my gf. She has 1 to 1 the same results.

Every person playing on MAC i spoke yesterday was superexcited about this news.

I am looking forward to hear any news on this.

Cheers,
Talek

i have the same issues. devs please response to us on this

yes, please bring Blinding Powder back. It should interrupt your current action to work as intended

Dear Anet,

Will fantastic Heart of Thorns expansion bring any improvements to the Mac client?

you can’t use autoclicker while you’re killing the boss as an example, but if you just stay and open the boxes – no problem. You don’s need any autoclick software, just put multiple doubleclicks on 1 button or something like that.

did you afk again? collero please do the same topics when you farm randoms as a team, stop using double standards

I don’t farm randoms as a team – Not sure where you got that idea from.

also I don’t think you understand the point of this thread.

sure, i don’t understand why AFKer and rage quit boy has an opportunity to even publish something here

did you afk again? collero please do the same topics when you farm randoms as a team, stop using double standards

Collero you do almost the same thing every game, start from yourself

sure, wrong webpage link and msg not from Anet as you see

Thank you for the attention

I did some research, the problem happens when you face a guy with top-end fractal capacitor, the one that shining

thanks for the update! from step to step <3

Cynz.9437:

bug is still there
just tested
- steal interrupts HS when steal is used out of range
- BP+HS+steal combo ports you back
- HS + steal works only half of the time regardless weither steal was out of range or not upon executing of HS

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONcJFPEaqek

so much for fixing

Thanks for video
i’ve sent bug report in the morning. waiting for an answer

Same story here

it’s still broken. For example if i have standard steal with 900 range: i stand on 950 range and trying to do heart seeker combo with steal it immediately interrupts HS and i stay on the same place where i started to do HS, however i pushed the steal button when i or even less, cos i’ve crossed 1/2 destination of HS (HS has 450 range). It worked properly before. I don’t know why but it looks like now steal calculate your distance position from the spot where you started do your movement skill. I will do a bug report ticket now with copy paste of my post. Hopefully they will repair it

upd: i’ve sent the bug report at the end

Cynz.9437:

tbh it has been happening before the patch, just not as often i guess

wait another year or so before they finally fix it and call it a “buff”

btw i would post it under bugs section, nobody except few mods ever reads this forums… just saying

sometimes we disputing, but i totally agree your words above my friend

It’s like we walk on 1 leg in game now on our thiefs =)

Volrath.1473:

ninja BUFF

in case you haven’t noticed Reveled in Spvp now lasts 3 seconds again!!! xD

wow! rly) i hope its planned

Everything else is still a joke at any decent level of pvp. Anything works in wvw/pve.

what do you mean when you say decent lvl?
http://www.gw2score.com/PvP/player/Cynz9437

i play dd @top100-150teamq usually, is it decent lvl for you?

i write on this forum very rarely, but i couldn’t stay on side when i saw such a funny post =)

No matter how well you play, d/d will be still less effective than d/p and s/d in tpvp, given the same skill level…

If you disagree, it is fine. However, how sad and desperate does one have to be, if they are forced to post stats and try to make fun of a person that didn’t bother to pvp much since last year and didn’t have actual pvp team since november probably……… just to prove their point?

Did you really think it would change my opinion?

Usually i play team together with my mate, so its not a team as well as you see. Stop digging hole for yourself, so now you agreed that you didn’t play tpvp at all during the year, you have no experience on that decent lvl that you speak and you still pitch readers of this forum by your theory crafting? did you really think that i needed to change your opinion? come on, i care about the forum in total, not about such pve boys^^

Stick to the thread:

@CobOfCorn you don’t need to worry about mesmer’s aa chain from sceptre and PU build in total. He won’t stack too much conditions on you if you play safety, at the same moment he doesn’t do such a spike dmg as shutter mesmer. All you need to do is just dodge his aa bullets on you from the distance.

Evening chaps, i see you have d/p discussion threat around this trait, but i would like to put my 2 cents:
I’ve tested it a lot playing DD thief in top100-200 eu teamQ. Great trait for opening against engies and necros, you can keep high pressure and 99,9% chance to get them pop up lots of def cds.

like Chungie said, MISS Burst is a very friendly person to deal with.
She has vast of exp to play against strongest teams in eu as well =)
