Guild Wars 2 Beta Mac Client

[Sep 18, 2012, 09:48 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

GuildWars2.com announces a beta version of the OS X client for Guild Wars 2 is now available, allowing Mac owners to play ArenaNet's MMORPG sequel, with one purchase entitling players to play on both systems. Word is:

The Mac Beta is available to anyone who has purchased or purchases Guild Wars 2. All you need is an active Guild Wars 2 account to download the Mac Beta client. Just log in to account.guildwars2.com and click Download Client to get started. If you have any questions, check out our Mac FAQ.

Keep in mind as you play the Mac Beta that it is a beta product. Performance and system requirements aren’t finalized. Review the beta hardware specification, and understand that your overall experience will be better when we release the final version. Even though it’s a beta, the Mac client does connect to the same live environment that the PC client connects to.
To bring Guild Wars 2 to the Mac, ArenaNet worked with our partners at TransGaming, whose Cider technology allows us to mirror the game experience as closely as possible between the PC and Mac. This means that future updates to Guild Wars 2 will be available for both platforms simultaneously.

I still love mine in PvP, I'm an unkillable asshole who frequently distracts groups of 5-10 people from an objective while my team goes after it. That said, I have a Warrior in the high 60s already and its far more enjoyable while providing more DPS and arguably utility in PVE content. In PvP, a Thief is awesome. In PvE... not so much. I actually submitted a bug report on the personal story quests. It was titled "NOT EVERYONE PLAYS A FRAKKING WARRIOR!!! HELLO??!!" I'm not sure it'll get much attention, but it felt good typing it. I'm leveling a Warrior and a Guardian basically side by side, and it's just completely insane how much more survivability they have. The Guardian STARTS with regeneration! It's just always on! The Warrior can get the signet for it at level 5. You know when the Thief gets the opportunity for regeneration? Oh that's right, NEVER! Creston
