Just uninstall current drivers, and then install the older ones after a restart.

Or run the old driver setup.exe file and it will ask to uninstall first and restart and install the old drivers for you.

Problem is NCsoft is caring more about the money, from the bank slot upgrades and bag slot, including various other future upgrades to characters etc. Obviously these need diamonds, right now its 20-30s per diamond and this will go up eventually due to demand, which will force people to pay for them. £8.99 for 800 diamonds smells of money grabbing to me.

As for the people who score 10 and why I am not amused, for one simple reason, people will see that many 10s they will think "oh great a perfect or amazing game" then get disappointed when they get it, it also bumps the review score up to much that people then expect more than it should be.

And most of the 10 reviews are useless as if they haven't played the game at all. Its a waste of peoples time. I know its not time friendly but there should be some sort of moderating to the reviews to only accept proper reviews, instead of low or high scores with an average 100 words.

Cheaper than most retail stores and online also.

I use them a lot, been with them for 2 years. Got a 5% discount etc. First purchase with them will require them to call you to confirm your name address etc when using a credit card to make sure it aint fraud.

I already gave it a 8.5 in my review, due to the fact points were docked for the bugs, obvious money making from NCsoft through the Black Lion Trading and the reused guild wars 1 music. And the cutscenes which was done to possibly make the game console friendly in the future instead of showing decent animated cutscenes.

Yeah ignore the message on the login screen about hardware problem. Beta drivers are beta for a reason, just roll back to the previous drivers as they work nicely for me.

it's not a regular 4870, it's the X2 version. Which according to the makers of GW2 would be able to easily max the game (coming from the blog post they released on performance).

Doesn't matter the X2 version still doesn't have the hardware features of the series 5,6 or 7 cards. To be honest the 4870 is more closer to the minimum requirements spectrum than the top.

An 4870 isn't cutting edge even if crossfired. You will need a 58xx+ card to get the most out of the game.

Was almost in tears from the pain of laughing from all the people scoring GW2 a perfect 10. Why do they do this, GW2 has obvious flaws and bugs at the moment, so much so it doesn't warrant a perfect 10.

I gave it a 8.5 the 1.5 lost was because of the negatives. And of course the blatant "lets just use the old music from GW1".

 

Yes I know you will all say its their opinion, but their opinions must be flawed also nothing in this world is perfect. And the ones who scored 10 have small ass reviews like they don't know what the game entails etc, they just scored 10 for the sake of it.

 

Or maybe they haven't found the buy diamonds for stuff rubbish yet, oh yes you can buy currently for 20s per diamond but wait a month and the price for a single diamond will go up to about 5g per diamond or perhaps more.

 

So anyways, why do people persist in scoring titles full marks? Has anyone who will respond done this and what made them do this?
