So I guess the people in the USA/Canada can play (with problems) and the Europeans can't play right now?
Me is Europe, haven't been able to login for hours now.

I think most of the bad performance comes from a metric shitton of people trying to log in / playing right now but we'll see I guess.
Managed to talk to the first npc in the norn starting area and then the game decided "nope you're not gonna move anymore" and then it kicked me out again

if video performance is affected by servers, that must be worst codding ever, period.
i was already on the fence if i should buy another mmo
a. my time is limited, and mmos are such pain to eat it all up
b. other games
c. being fps of rpg games, not sure how much i would enjoy 0 progression mmorpg
glad i didnt so far, im all up for miracle patches or super duper debuggers running eating half your fps ( which is never case, not to mention this is like preview weekend, and server test maybe, they dont need debuggers to test servers load ) but all of those are just jumbo you hear before every bad performance mmorpg..
if people with i5-i7 gtx480+ gets 20-30 fps, then what people with less than that get. oh someone mentioned 5 fps, good stuff..

Yeah I expected this, still hoped for better. It shouldn't be so hard to only allow a limited amount of people to get access to the game servers. Meanwhile show a screen that tells you how long you have to wait to get access or how many people are waiting before you. At least that would allow the people who are in the game to have a pleasant experience and wouldn't overload the game servers. At the moment the login servers can't even handle the load. So very very bad job.

Games servers are stable and running, login servers are taking huge DDOS and you expect them to fix that ? How you can fix DDOS ? Seriously im pissed same as you but do not expect that Arenanet pushed boundaries of technology and made imba servers, just wait till tomorrow, or few more hours and everything will be ok.

Hardware Compatibility

= We are currently optimizing Guild Wars 2, making ongoing improvements to the game’s frame rate. Presently, the game is CPU-bound on most high-end systems, so lowering graphics settings or upgrading your video card may not have a large impact on performance.
= On older or lower-end machines, it is recommended that you try disabling reflections to improve frame rate.

Doubt it, GW1 had instances instead of an open dynamic world. When you were in a big city their servers created districts to spread the load of the people connected there. It seems they have all forgotten about that and we all start in the same areas together instead of "instances of the dynamic world". If you get what I mean. Logging in is still not possible here so I guess they are blocking Europe now. Nice we have to pay more for the game than the North Americans but get less. It's all kinda weird if you think that this company developed a MMO before, that even allowed people to dial in and play with a 33k6 modem or so back in the days. So what is this shit? Don't they have the money to buy enough bandwidth and server capacity?

Nope, the world is still instanced. There doesn't seem to be a way to change instance though, so playing with friends is near impossible.

That's not how it works. Instead of being of queue you get on overflow server and enter the queue. When there's a spot for you, it asks you if you want to enter it or remain on overflow server. Everything that you do on overflow server remains, you just can't see people that are in the area on your server. Hopefully that makes sense.

I can login again and play with lotsa stutters. All EU servers have high population, in same list all American servers appear to have a low population (can't be right). Tried to get those 2k free diamonds but to no avail.

Stopped playing for today as the lag became unbearable. Internet lag that is
Now i've just read on GWguru that the beta run mostly on CPU and not the GPU which could help explain bad framerate. Not sure how true this is but i'm only mentioning it for the sake of it.

Jesus christ, the lag is unbearable. I stood up with it for the last 9 hours but damn. The delay on abilities vary from 2 seconds to 15.
Thankfully they noticed all this and will fix this before release, today was the true stress test.
