thoughts on Guild Wars 2 beta weekend

| April 30, 2012

Where to start… Well, the game appeared pretty stable for a beta still at least a few months out (you wouldn’t think something 1-3 months from launch would be unstable, but history tells us otherwise…).  Supposedly, the game in its current form is CPU limited more than GPU, and this perhaps bears out in my [...]
