Guild Wars 2: Stress Test August 9th

SBFordSBFord Former Associate EditorMember LegendaryPosts: 33,129

Guild Wars 2 developers have announced that they will be conducting another stress test on Thursday, August 9th from 12-4 p.m. Pacific.

We will be conducting a stress test on Thursday, August 9 from 12:00 Noon PACIFIC Time to 4:00 PM PACIFIC Time.



The stress test is open to anyone who has pre-purchased Guild Wars 2.



We will be actively working on the game during the event, so you might experience connectivity problems or discover features that are not working as designed. Any issues you experience are a result of the rigorous conditions of the stress test, and are in no way representative of the state of the game at launch. By participating in this stress test, you’re helping us make Guild Wars 2 a better game. Thanks for your cooperation—we’ll see you in-game! ~RB2

    So I guess they're testing the stress of GW2 fans when they can't play GW2. Maybe to make sure that GW2 don't suffer from too many withdrawal symptoms when not playing GW2. This could mean GW2 mobile apps comnig from ANET so that players can ease the pain when they can't play the game for extensive periods of time. :D

    From what I have seen so far, release is going to be a non issue here.  Of course I have been part of some really bad releases.  Lineage 2 with their login game, DAoC with chronic zone crashes, etc etc

    what time is that in europe? (netherlands)?  when we can play the stress test today!

    You may be able to destroy planets, but you can never destroy what I am, friend. I am the hope of the universe, I am the answer to all living things that cry out for peace. I am the protector of the innocent, I am the light in the darkness, I am truth. ALLY TO GOOD, NIGHTMARE TO YOU

    I might log in, not sure. If I do it's to add my tidbit to the actual 'stress' part. Unfortunately with regards to playing at this point, a stress test is less than a nibble. I want  a full bite and then to  keep on chewing.

    Nothing short of 08/25 is going to satisfy the hunger now.

    Launch is still not going to be smooth, don't expect a smooth launch its just not realistic.
  • majinantmajinant Member UncommonPosts: 418

    God damn it. I have to wake up at 7am for this. TOO EARLY!

    I think they are going to do more of these before launch.

    I agree but i think the problem is alot of people have different idea of where it should be.  I think they should final let us unleashe our cards instead of the processor so we can experience even better graphics.  I've heard alot of people bemoaning their poor computers asking for the maximum settings to be lower so they dont feel inferior and thats with everything being done currently on the processor.

    I am not playing the stress test .. Mainly because I struggle to find meaning in playing something that I can progress further ... I pre-ordered when they released it but haven't really played any of the Betas/stress tests.

    GW2 runs terribad on my system, the world looked nothing but bad and stuttered the whole beta.

    I runned it on a I7 920 with a HD radoen 4850 X2 with 6 gig ram.

    On my wife's older system it runs much smoother for some reason.

    Still i understand its a beta and we aint running the final client just yet as far as i know :)

     

    But i hope my nightmare doesnt come true and this is the final engine where GW2 runs on, as it will not be fun to play with 15/22 fps :(
