All I ask is that the performance issues are fixed for launch, the beta had me hovering at around 30 fps on medium settings which is piss poor for my rig.

They arent done optimizing the game yet, so the performance should only get better and better.

Hopefully while they work on optimizing the game they'll actually give the game support for 4gb cards... Was very disappointed to not be able to play with my friend during the event.

I tried the game on a Gefore 520 (albeit an i5 CPU) and it ran smooth like butter. It's just an optimization issue that will be fixed by launch.

Also to note, the game was CPU bound for the most part.

Then you werent monitoring your frames in areas with lots of other players, I have many friends with high end gaming PC's who were experiencing the same performance. In dynamic events with like 30 players I even saw my frames drop as low as 10fps!

Well my whole WoW guild is migrating to GW2. That's 24 people, because the 6 of us that have been on beta weekends have made videos, screen-caps, game play stories and have really sold the game to the guild and we are all very excited by this announcement :)

My body is ready. I'll play The Secret World for 2 months and I'll see if I still dig it.. then hop on GW2 and see if I can play both. This should be good.

The beta will run like crap because it isn't optimized for the 570 yet. It will run flawlessly on release though.

Glad to hear that. :) There seem to be a lot of former WoW players making the migration. As word of this game gets out and people begin to read all the AAA reviews from critics, this game will really take off.

ok, I just worry that I wont be able to max it (if I buy it) :P. I want to upgrade my comp (not that it is bad by any means lol) but I don't really have the money right now for a new GPU.

Considering that Anet is still advertising that pre-purchasing the game will give you beta access, that pretty unlikely.

you probably can. can't say for sure because we don't know just how optimized the final build will be, but if you don't mind console framerates, then you can probably max it.

Done with college :cool:

I might pre-order this regardless of my concerns. With the free to play online its not much of a loss even if it isnt a game I play for tons and tons of time with buddies.
