I noticed quite a few more caves than I previously have seen, they might still have had been there, or they might have had been added..
Atleast at shaemoor keep they added a prison for centaurs ;p
And even with more than 40 people on the screen at a time, I couldn't feel it at all .. was quite awesome.
Yea the performance wass amazing this stress test

I kept having graphic issues this time. Things kept vanishing and going invisible, mobs, terrian, buildings, and even characters. Was odd. Haven't had the issue until now.

Game is not as CPU bound this stress test as last BWE, I expect at least one more stress test, because they seem to be testing their optimizations (YAY!)
Autoloot was already there, but camera left/right was not as far as I remember, I think free cam was there?
I only got about one hour in after I came home from work. The game was a lot smoother, movement of characters in game seemed more fluid, maybe it was just due to an overall higher fps. Unfortunately during that hour I crashed twice, which was unheard of and very surprising since I never crashed in any of the previous beta events or stress tests. It had always been rock solid.
I will chalk it up to some last minute bugs that came out from their fine tuning, whose positive effects were otherwise a big improvement
Waiting for: A skill-based MMO with Freedom and Consequence. Woe to thee, the pierce-ed.

Yes. I mainly played Asura today so thanks for confirming this... I have never had this problem before. It's good to know it didn't happen in other race's areas.

Same here! Within Asura Area i had that a lot sadly. As i could read in the GW2 boards, ANet suggested to install the newest Beta Drivers from Nvidias page.
On Topic: I noticed that when hovering over a skill and getting the description, they show now the command how to setup another skill to Auto Attack/as Auto Attack
I don't have Nvidia, I have Radean :-(

Turning off the display for helmets and shoulders has gone from a right click pull down type menu to a check box right on the helmet and shoulder slots of the hero screen.
Hmmm I felt like I actually couldn't zoom out as much for some reason. MAybe because I was trying out a norn tho, and since their character model is bigger.../shrug
performance wise, this game is looking jarringly amazing. I am a big graphic whore, and it almost brings me to tears having an mmo this pretty, yet very responsive.
I'm using GTX670, i7, ssd, 12gb ram. FPS increase from last time, although mainly on the lower end. FPS still decreases when there's lots of sudden camera rotation, but nothing crazy. Very very satasfied at this point.

Update your graphics drivers, a lot of things previously handled by CPU are now handled by GPU, any anomalities you get are because of this. A new driver might solve the problem for you, its not the game, but the graphics card.

Then get the latest drivers from AMD

Originally posted by avalon1000 Graphics seemed better...graphics card fan ran at higher rpm, loved the fact I could zoom back further.
Well its obvious that the game got optimised, which is great for performance..
But i also had some reliabillity issues with this patch, i crashed to desktop a few times, I do hope next weeks new AMD driver solves this problem for my 7970M
On top of that, i do hope they solve their login server woes before release, think tonights stress test is not to please Americans, but to just to check if the login problems have been solved by a hard days of work

Only problem I had was the stress test was to short.. rolled a different race and class this time. Damm i loved this toon also.
now when game goes live I'm going to want one of each and it will be a long time before I max out. lol

I'd add:
"General performance improvement as acknowledged by many guild members".
Performance wise, the game is now definitely ready for launch.
Respect, walk

Won't comment on changes since I was not able to participate in the last stress test.
the Reddit list has it, but not here:
- Now show tooltip for ALL attacks on chained attacks instead than just the first one and for stealth thief skills.
- WAY better performance
- I continue to find new DEs in starting areas even if I have run them 2-3 times by now XD
- I continue to have inordinate amount of fuuuun, it should be illegal to have so much fun in a stress test!
