Hi Danicia,
this is my first post and unfortunately I realized that all the problems of the client GW2 Mac, come from the limitations of Cider.
I’m playing right now on my old laptop pc because it became impossible on my iMac (OS X 10.7.5 Intel Core i7 3.4 GHz, AMD Radeon HD 6970M 1024 MB).
The quality of games on the Mac screen is much better but crashes as “dstBits” or “lockedRect” make any event impossible.
This morning (in Europe), I tested again on the Mac, and just as I walked in “Keep Vigil” had a “dstBits”. Just before the crash, I found a lot of latency and no fluidity, as if the Mac client is slow to translate information.
Why try to make something new with the old? If Cider has no effective solutions, it is better to leave on a native client on Mac.
I think the Mac community deserves it, because it is large and always faithful to GW.
Thank you and sorry for my English.
