For you guys that have been messing about with the beta, how demanding is it on your system?

Not very at all, and my system isn't exactly top of the range.
AMD Athlon(tm) 7850 Dual-Core Processor, MMX, 3DNow (2 CPUs), ~2.8GHz
3584MB RAM
ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series Graphics Card
And it runs fine.

I had a feeling it'd be well optimised, but I just wanted to check.
Hmmm. I think I may be getting back into MMOs, then. And no subs, too.

The beta wasn't particularly well optimised and if I recall correctly didn't even use your GPU, instead handling all the graphics with the CPU (and even then I think it was locked to a maximum number of cores). It still ran pretty well though.

Yeah, most people seemed to be saying that it was all done with the CPU.

NDA ended when the Beta went public; absolutely no point in trying to keep a lid on that rapidly boiling pot, even if you wanted to.
As for the beta itself, i've enjoyed it thus far.

Yeah it was pretty awesome, I got to around level 25 ish and my cooking level was nearly halfway to max. Sadly at that point I ran out of things to cook (beta is beta, the ingredients weren't registering) so I went and explored the charr starting area (where I was levelled down to the suitable level for the area so it was still semi-challenging).

I stopped playing seriously at about level fifteen, I admit-- I just went on to try crafting and try new classes instead.
It's all gonna be reversed anyway.

I loved playing the engineer and I want to save my warrior and my guardian for release so I just played him.
If characters are wiped for the next beta I'll play a norn necro as I didn't play much in the norn lands.

I need to play guardian, ranger, thief, and engineer next beta.
Maybe guardian and ranger asura, and theif and engineer sylvari, if both those races are unlocked.

I'm not sure what i'll do next beta event; on the one hand, i'm enjoying my Ele a lot and i'd like to get the switching of elements down to a tee before general release, but on the other I don't want to exhaust all the fun and options before general release, only to have myself bored out of my skull when I try and replicate it for real.
Still got my Human Guardian to try out, so might give that a whirl next event, but i'm still not sure at all =/

Can anyone tell me how quickly an enraged Melissia can get to Chicago from Texas? I need to time my comfy chair, popcorn and drink so that it coincides with Karon's screams of pain as he's sodomised with a statuette of Colin.
