Yup, that's a huge possibility. Though I can't say 100% because I'm not sure about the accuracy of the article who conducted the benchmarks on laptop GPU performance in GW2Originally Posted by Thelastblink
But, if you ask me, it's worth a shot, worse comes to worst...well, you can always save up for an upgrade in the future

Thank you EVERYONE for all the info!
You made it possible for me to buy the game! Now very last question. On the site there was a deluxe edition, collectors edition and something else, which one do I buy?
The description of the items you'll get if you purchase deluxe or collector's are there in the website. Just place your mouse clicker over those items. Totally up to you. In my case, I just bought the regular physical CD of the game.Thank you EVERYONE for all the info!

GUYS VEERRY LAST QUESTION! Just double checking...
On the laptop which meets the minimum requirements of GW2 I have only 28GB of Hard Disk Drive Space..
And the minimum requirement is 25GB, will my laptop be fine?
Hmmm, tough question! I'm not sure. I wouldn't be surprised if Vampinoy could answer that through
I have really been looking to get GW2. The WvW is the main reason. How are the quests? Are they tedious or does it flow?
PL-lvl 76 Duper mage (main)
AL- Hephaestus warrior (main), Duper Sorcerer
i read this somewhere, sts based pl on guild wars.
Haha, it's about as non- tedious as it gets, man! Technically you don't even "have" to do the quests anyways. There's so many different ways to level and play the game. Basically as long as you're playing and running around and stuff, you'll level up.
Well, we're referring to Guild Wars 2 which came out just recently. Judging by that gameplay, it's nothing like PL. However, having not played the first Guild Wars, I suppose I can't say for sure.
You can level up in WvW and you will have the same level if you go to story mode.
I have it im on the server northern shiverpeaks. My toon names are Livemau, Front Lines, Sub and Like (from the youtube series http://www.youtube.com/user/LetsGW2Play?feature=mhee
yo mm what server are you on? if u arent in a guild you love join northern shiverpeaks and join Notorious its the guild im in we use raidcall to talk
25GB is the SAFE ZONE of free space you need to be able to store GW2 Data file and its other components in the GW2 folder, it doesn't necessarily mean that the size of GW2 is 25GB, most of it will just be buffer space for future updates. For instance, my GW2 files only consume around 15GB as of the latest update. Games like to exaggerate on their HDD requirements for their future updates. If you have 28GB, then your laptop will be fine. HOWEVER, Data files of an online game are known to increase slowly as they expand their game's content. You need to monitor your HDD every time your games update/patches.
If you're concerned with your laptop's HDD, there are many remedies out there. You can do the ff:
1. Buy a cheap flashdrive/thumbdrive/USB with 25GB.
2. Install GW2 in your laptop.
3. Copy/Paste GW2 folder to your flashdrive/thumbdrive/USB.
4. Delete the program file of GW2 in your laptop.
This way, you don't have to store the GW2 folder in your laptop, since it's already in your external HDD. Every time you want to play GW2, simply plug the external HDD and click Play. I have many PC games that are installed in separate USB devices that are not in my PC's HDD for...it's a little cheaper than upgrading your internal HDD. I only store important work or personal files in my HDD, the rest are all in external drive. This has benefits. Let's say you're out of town and you forgot to bring you laptop with you, you can simply look for a "safe laptop" (without keyloggers, etc. you can research about it in google) and plug your external HDD and play (provided there's an internet).
