  1. Hey, Happy to report no keyboard issues. I'm also not overly expectant of the fps I should receive given that my macbook is nearing 5 years in age; A average of 30 feels like a reasonable expectation which most of the time my game runs at during less graphically heavy scenes. Minor graphical issues once things load but nothing so terrible as too make the game unplayable, minor to no game bugs. I play with most of the graphic settings set to low except the ones I know have minimal effect on performance which are at medium.

    The major issue I have is with loading times! Its like the game needs to reload downloaded maps, load them, then once the loading screen clears reload them again to render it. Really really weird. I'm empathetic that you have a lot of work ahead of you; thank you for taking the time for your mac users, it is very much appreciated. The fact that you at least attempt make it available on Mac and Linux is directly tied to why I bought the expansions.

    Loading time is the worst problem facing mac users at actually playing the game from a design standpoint right now. Its hard to play when the environment, the trading posts and npcs don't load; as well as being kicked from groups because your sitting there for 5 times longer than a Windows pc with the relatively same specs takes to load. It causes people to miss goal deadlines in a reasonable time like PoF story completion at the same rate as their friends, lower exp or currency gain rates, and strait up lose opportunity to complete things if kicked from an instance. I also can't imagine it not effecting the general fps of the game when your perpetually loading things into the area.

    I wont ask for an ETA because it would be unreasonable, but could you please let Mac users know if the loading issues are a priority for the Mac client team? Or are you working on bugs and keyboard issues first? A road map of what your working on would probably reassure a lot of people.

    Thanks!

    P.s. to all the 'here's a fix buy a new windows pc people'. Yes I am getting a new computer when I can, still doesn't take away the value that I'd get out of still being able to play on my laptop when I'm out though. Plus alot of people buy computers for work and use them for work 90% of the time, its not unreasonable for them to also want to lightly game on them with low settings in 2017, not everyone wants a pure gaming machine. Which is why thankfully arena net is supporting those systems, if they don't someone else will.
