TheDude September 29, 2012 Share TheDude Member September 29, 2012 So i have to make a decision. I really want to buy guild wars 2 to play with you guys, but want to be sure i can play, even though my ping is very mediocre. on the gcftw left 4 dead server, my ping is usually around 110. It's manageable though. I get some lag but never enough to ruin the game for me, and i can play the game as a decent player. So how important is ping on guild wars? If you have to be honest, would you recommend i don't buy the game then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLaw September 29, 2012 Share TheLaw Member September 29, 2012 In my opinion you don't need a good ping at all. I living in the middle of nowhere Texas have mediocre internet. If someone as simply uses the other computer to get on youtube or download anything i will have a latency >1000. With this being said i can play this fine while i am streaming music from spotify, you tube, or doing anything that requires any type of bandwidth with minimal to no response issues.

TheDude September 29, 2012 Author Share TheDude Member September 29, 2012 Well i talked to a guy at my local gaming store who said it could be problematic for something called worldvsworld? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lousiest September 29, 2012 Share lousiest Member September 29, 2012 Hmm... he might be right for WvW. It's the PvP area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaftiel September 29, 2012 Share shaftiel Member September 29, 2012 Law just said it wasn't an issue. Now I know that Law has VERY LITTLE experience with WvW, he is usually just sitting in the craft hall where I'm sure ping doesn't matter at all. But I might be inclined to believe Law in this, because everything I just said about what Law does was a lie. Shaftiel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDude September 29, 2012 Author Share TheDude Member September 29, 2012 So how about a verdict? Just be honest: would you buy GW2? If you say yes, i buy it and it turns out it doesn't work, i won't be mad of course. I'm not 'that guy'. You know 'that guy'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
