The Guild Wars 2 Live Stream Extravaganza

@timthegem I think it's noteworthy to suggest that if you count the hours between Saturday's, Kevin is giving us 38 hours on top of his other responsibilities of his normal job. So if somehow Kevin ultimately hated the game you could say he was putting in a 78 hour workweek, so you could leisurely watch it over the weekend.

That and while it may be no big deal for you to sit in MMO position for 38 hours a week, that can take a serious toll on people who enjoy things like exercise and walking around every once and a while. No it's certainly no as difficult as working in a steel mill. but again you could add up all the hours he sits at his desk too.

Just sayin'.

@trueepower44 gw2 is def deserve a 9.0

@alpha_unit97 What? The game it's so freaking good... well not for everyone (like every game out there) Don't listen the fan boys, don't listen the haters... listen Kevin while he plays.

@alpha_unit97 It's not a WoW clone. If it was any different it wouldn't be a Fantasy MMORPG. Some people are just so tired of MMO's they're always looking to the next one and they'll never be happy. I think those are the people you're talking to. They just need to play something else entirely.

@alpha_unit97 Trolololo

@alpha_unit97 you're talking to the wrong ppl game is fun

@Atheosis What she said?

@UKwildcats14 Id recommend getting a 750 watt powersupply, and a radeon HD 6850.

@UKwildcats14 The perfect card for you is the 9800GT Nvidia... hands down a good card i can play BF3 on medium settings and am right now playing GW2 on High/medium settings, i also play league of legends on Very high and Diablo 3 on High. It has very low power requirements and since its an older card i'm sure u can find it for around 50$. I promise u man its a very decent card for the price and mine has run strong for the last 2 years.. FYI my power supply is 350W.

@UKwildcats14

You need to upgrade your PSU it's dated. Most Graphic Cards today use 500w at min, 750w or better would work.

@-Saigo- it's the best MMO ive ever played, and Ive played most of them. The game feels organic with it's quest/events. the PVP is unmatched. the game is gorgeous. It also doesn't hold your hand.

@Alygator What do you mean? How do you optimize a PC game when there is an infinite number of different configurations?

@brpw4lif3 your specs are about the as mine, It sounds like a power supply issue. also, I have a radeon 6950. and the same cpu. I run the game on max at 60 plus fps. you might be running dirty power. also, check your power settings. windows might be set to balanced, change it to performance.

@brpw4lif3 For your and everyone else's information lag doesn't cause low frame rates (FPS). Lag is internet latency, more the latency, more the lag and you could still run 60 FPS (frames per second).

Hate to see when people talking about LAG and in reality they are talking about frame rate issues aka LOW FPS.

Cheez.

@brpw4lif3 This might sound obvious but have you tried updating the drivers on your graphics card? A lot of performance issues can be fixed with a quick update, and from your setup, it sounds like you should be running the game just fine.

@brpw4lif3 Check your PSU, make sure it can handle the hardware. I have a 6970 myself and it runs 1080p with minimum 50-60 FPS on High. Though I'm using an OC'd 2500k, you should still see much higher than 25 fps on low. Its most likely a driver issue. Use Driver Sweeper, now called Driver Fusion, and reinstall lasted AMD drivers. Check out Tomshardware for hardware comparisions on GW2 performance.

@brpw4lif3 That spec should be fine... but I suspect it is an issue with the graphics card. Either a game update or a driver update may be needed.

@brpw4lif3 I have far worse specs than you do and haven't experienced any such issues. I'm playing at 1900x1200 resolution with low/medium settings.

Sorry this post isn't helpful to you but I didn't want people to think the game is very poorly optimized.

@shahirbear eh, i got used to it pretty quick. i guess if you have extra mouse buttons, you could put some stuff there, and the sooner you get used to using a button to dodge instead of double tapping, the better. i'm too used to double tapping to go back, even though i know it holds me back D:

@VirtueSong @mrtrolololo

I think the "Mr Troll" username tells you everything.
