I just love their art style. Outside the cave Inside the cave Edited April 28, 2012 by AZNguyen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClayMeow Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 I would say the graphics are an improvement from GW. I just love their art style. Outside the cave Inside the cave Character models look very plain and plastic-y. Environments are slightly more detailed than GW, but still seem to have very low textures. I expected much better based on your "performance issues" post. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhenKittensATK Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 (edited) Nope the game is CPU bounded atm, video card makes no difference in performance. Some of the backdrops in the game look pretty stunning like walking around in Divinity's Reach or in the zones just outside it. We are currently optimizing Guild Wars 2, making ongoing improvements to the game’s frame rate. Presently, the game is CPU-bound on most high-end systems, so lowering graphics settings or upgrading your video card may not have a large impact on performance. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuwUievM51Y I'll probably be doing some kind of write-up and/or video something in the next few days. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZ8zjRWaf_g Edited April 29, 2012 by AZNguyen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhenKittensATK Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 (edited) Guild Wars 2 is my alternative to coffee. Got home at 9PM. Edited a 40 minutes of GW2 footage, added commentary, rendered, uploaded to YouTube, wrote a 5 page article on Guild Wars 2, and reviewed it. It is now 10:40 AM. I don't feel tired at all. Time to play some Guild Wars 2 . When I figure out a method for posting the article. I will update it here. For now its currently on Dropbox (My Thoughts on the Game).

WhenKittensATK Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 The beta was pretty fun for me. One of the few games that lives up to their promise and hype. Dynamic Events feel much better than standard Quest Givers. Personal Stories are a nice addition along with all the player choices that you can do the change them. Played Guardian, Ranger, Elementalist, Necromancer, and Mesmer and suprisingly they were all fun to play. I would say that's pretty rare for me in a RPG where I can enjoy every class available. I'll have to try out the other ones next beta event. I love the sidekicking feature, it makes the game always challenging so you're always the right level for a content even if you go back to lowbie zones. Anyone else get to play the Weekend Beta event? Any thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClayMeow Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 Article can now be read over at Massvio. I in 480p with VO volume increased. Haven't read the whole thing, but what I did read was riddled with typos and grammatical errors. Sorry to be harsh, but if you want the article to be taken seriously, I suggest going back through it and editing it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, I stopped reading when I read "combed" instead of "combined" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
