Many games in beta were horrible, but they turned out to be great. Battlefield 3 had a horrible beta, we've all seen the hilarious videos of flying tanks and stuff. That's one of my primary games right now. Kingdoms of Amular beta (demo really) wasn't that great, but the actual game is great. I'd put it right behind Skyrim on my list. Most betas have bugs and lag issues. That's why they're beta. I just hope they do better than Bioware did with star wars at fixing the kinks out. There's still some issues that were reported in the beta that still haven't been fixed.
Yup. If I recall there was some really weird bug in BF3 Beta that completely twisted the shape of your character, making him look like someone from Team Fortress 2.

I saw videos of wvwvw with lots of players and projectiles flying every where and i saw hardly any lag. I haven't seen another mmo pull that kind of pvp off without it being a complete disaster. Guild wars 2 looks great, can't wait for release.
I still want to know what your personal attack against me was for

People don't all have fantastic PC's in the media and are using FRAPs. If you don't have an i5-2500K, prepare for horrible recording performance.
Also, running this game isn't going to be possible on toasters anyway, you're looking at a minimum of the sandy bridge integrated GPU. MINIMUM.
holy crap if you are running an integrated GPU you shouldn't even be gaming, the sandy bridge integrated is less than half as good as a gt 430, and the 430 almost 1/3 the performance of a gtx 260.
I SERIOUSLY doubt ANYONE is using less than a gtx260 who's putting up vids or testing the game right now. If they are having performance problems, then it's something to take seriously though.
It appears that many people did not experience poor performance. We have very limited data on what types of machines were being used in these demos.
We don't know what kind of debugging, and profiling software ANet was using during these tests. We really don't know...much of anything factual really.
It's all speculation at this point. In large scale PvP we know latency will be a concern. It's a valid point, but this topic was much too inflammatory about it.

I'll go one step further and state that people sporting anything older than 1-2 generations should not be wasting people's time with previews and reviews.
If you want to seem at least semi-professional, get with the program. Don't show up to the race with your '86 Tercel.

Lag is not always a client issue. Large scale battles are a serious challenge for the server and I am really curious how they will handle them. They are ambitious in this regard for sure but this does not mean that we should be apologetic if lagster will make its home in WvWvW.

The lag you're seeing is client side. There's no server lag in any video i've seen

Yup, absolute minimum in this game does look like the original guild wars though

Low framerates are ALWAYS client side.
Ahem no. If server cannot respond quickly your screen might freeze (or multiple times) hence low framerate. mkay?

They were most likely using Anet's computers for the event.

Instanced, loading screen world should tell you all that youto know how GW2 will pan out. Sorry but a game excatly like gw1 wit so called larger maps, is not my idea of fun. Jumping from numbered zone to zone to find people, and porting everywhere , and watchign a loading screen evrywhere isbloody ridiculous in this day and age. Fuuck me 10 years after wow was first developed, I am starting to think that was trully next gen.
I'm not going to jump to any conclusions yet one way or the other far as the lag goes. We'll see when things get ratcheted up whether that becomes an issue or not.
Everything I saw I was pretty impressed with.
Except for the pisspoor vo. That was the only thing in everything I saw that was simply laughable. Downright awful. Lacked any emotion. The inflection was off. No passion whatsoever. Would have made more sense if they had the avatars reading the index cards because that was exactly what it felt like.
...and frankly if that is my biggest complaint then that will be fine by me. Well, I'll still tear it to shreds but in the whole scheme of things what difference does it make?
1. For god's sake mmo gamers, enough with the analogies. They're unnecessary and your comparisons are terrible, dissimilar, and illogical.
2. To posters feeling the need to state how f2p really isn't f2p: Players understand the concept. You aren't privy to some secret the rest are missing. You're embarrassing yourself.
3. Yes, Cpt. Obvious, we're not industry experts. Now run along and let the big people use the forums for their purpose.
all of you are useless. people like yourselves is why Fox News is so popular. You naturally gravitate to the sensational and controversial....ignoring reason the whole way.

It is funny with all of this info about a new game this is the thread with the most activity. Really? Yet I find myself bumping it right now. Oh well someone will probably post below me in 3, 2, 1...

Can't tell if op is trolling or what,but ya gotta keep your hype in check.The game could preform outright terrible once you get your hands on it.ya never know,here's hoping its a smooth success.

Yep I noticed the lag in videos too. I hope that they have some debugging going on because this could be a big issue on release otherwise.
Coincidentally I tested Tera eu this weekend and there lag was part of the deal ... people went rabid and cursed Frogster like only mmo gamers can.
Playing (especially pvp) with constant lag can be very frustrating.
Here's the issue:

not the case. Radeon HD 4K and GTX 2XX series was running this game great at all them alienware convention booths.

This video has very little lag ^ and it's very long.
they were playing from their own PC's.
This is nothing in comparison to what they plan and will be on release. Lots more of people.
I just hope that they will sort it out and we can enjoy the epic battles.
If you don't have any proof of this you should just keep it to yourself.
