GW2 - Game Play

Now that the Beta Weekend is over, I'd like to pass on my observations. First, I'd like to say that GW2 is very playable in CrossOver. I only crashed once during the Beta Weekend and that was when I was transferring to a Waypoint. The error was a GW2 error and not a Wine Bottle error. A friend and I were running together and she was running GW2 in Bootcamp while I was running in CrossOver. I had no problem keeping up with her and didn't really see any lag except in the starting area. We got into some pretty intense fights and I never had any problems.

Issues I did see centered around the graphics. I was always in a mist (crystal clear in a circle around my Char but foggy and misty outside that circle). Rain, snow and fire were a big issue UGGHHHHH!!!. I saw a lot of white out when it was raining or snowing up in the mountains. There was a lot of metal work going on in the Char areas and the fires from the forges was causing very bright gold blooming which made it very difficult to navigate through. My friend had to lead me through the area because I kept running into things.

All and all it was a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to the fixes to the graphics.

yeh the rain snow and underwater made the game really yucky with the glitches. I hope it gets fixed. I decided to use bootcamp until crossover addresses the graphic issues. I was only on the trial of crossover anyway. I don't want to buy it before it is useable (personal pref) unless i see a 50% off soon lol
