    Guild Wars 2 Stress Test : May 14 11 AM to 6:00 PM PDT (-7 GMT).

    http://www.facebook.com/GuildWars2/p...50848164094209
    We’ll be conducting a stress test on Monday May 14 from 11 AM to 6:00 PM PDT (-7 GMT).

    This special test event is open only to Pre-Purchase customers who have registered their accounts. With your help, we can conduct important tests and address some of the issues we identified during our first Beta Weekend Event. During this event, all you need to do is play normally with a new or existing character on your Beta account using the same game client. Please note that since this is a stress test of our servers, you may experience some in-game performance issues. If you’ve pre-purchased Guild Wars 2 and wish to participate in the stress test, we recommend that you register the account and download the game client.

    Pre-Purchase customers, log in to the Beta Forums for more information and/or to download the Beta client if needed.

    The stress test (and anything ANet does) is PST/PDT. They're located in WA, so they'll do things around their time.

    No character wipe, according to that blog post -- we'll have the same chars/bank from last time. I, thankfully, am off that day and will focus pretty exclusively on giving engineer a second try.

    I'm curious how many other BG people got to level 30 during BWE1. They're not wiping characters for this, so it would be a chance to go try out ascalon catacombs.

    I guess nothings going to be done on optimisation yet being as they said its the same build as before

    I really hope its done for the next beta weekend, hard to appreciate the game on 10 fps (although I still enjoyed the first weekend)

    Can't really get any more fucking delusional than this lol. Optimization is the last thing done, and you're still looking at several months of beta. You want it done in the 2 weeks since the last test?

    And if you get 10fps in situations where there aren't 100+ people in the area, its your PC.

    My only point of reference is the fact that they stated on the forums that optimisation had only recently begun for the last beta, and I was hoping that maybe some progress was being made, not expecting it to be completed, how fucking delusional of me.

    And no, it's not my PC, it's a known problem that's widely documented on the forums if you'd care to look, GW2 isn't performing well on many high-end systems and a lot of people are having issues with it. My laptop's capable of running far more demanding games with relative ease.

    God I'm so ridiculously delusional, how do I get through life?

    Not sure what your definition of "high-end" is, but on my very entry-level (some might say mid-range) [email protected], DDR3-1600@6-7-6-20, GTX 460 'gaming' system, the game ran quite well with all settings maxed. The only problems I read about on the official forums were people with newer mid-range AMD GPUs, like the HD 7770 and some Intel integrated graphics chipsets (which are known to be poor performers anyway). Laptop specs for curiosity's sake?

    What. No. Don't say that!

    I don't know why your bitching about optimization on a 6 hour stress test, likely you wont be able to log in for 1-2hours and stay connected for 30mins at a time anyway.

    Stress test is a server side test...not client. There's a reason why it's using the same version as BWE #1 for this.
