It jerks while playing on your old graphics card or the new built in one?

As a rule I think built in graphics chipsets don't perform as well stand alone graphics cards but if you can run whatever game you're wanting to play (You're an STO player aren't you?) to a standard that you're happy with then I'd stick with the on-board.

However if you perform better using your old graphics card then run with that. STO doesn't really support DirectX11 (I think you can set it as such but It's anything but solid) and to be honest DirectX9 support is good enough for most things and most people.

Certainly if you ran STO in DirectX11 you'd hardly notice a difference, so I wouldn't let it bother you.

*Bear with me as I've never RP'd before*

EDIT: Looking at your other topic about this, I've decided to create a new account (as I'm too broke at the moment to add additional character slots to my current account) and have a new character just for this series. The character above is my main character.

ummm no.. it's not about sex thank you..

its about increasing the chance of being around folks that accept you, about maybe hearing how "gay" this and that is a little less often.. even with a good showing of GLBT guilds we are not going to have the population of controlling WvW.. so its not about being in charge either... its just about being a degree or two more comfortable and accepted...

at least for me...

The sex part was a big joke...

Segregation contributes greatly to creating this atmosphere you hate so much in the long run.
If gays have gone this far in society has been by putting themselves out there for people to see and deal with.

You will be in the guild so have no fear to be bashed.

The way I see it, I'll probably be a map completionist, striving to get 100% on each zone, I'll probably stick to the zones that are in my current level range, but I fully intend to help everyone, see every vista, etc.

Bah, thats what, $300 for a decent graphics card

Definitely slow, I do not know the game at all so I want to enjoy every bit of it.

Usually at launch of any online game, server capacity runs short, the first ones fill up quickly and they need to open new ones.
We will be there since day one, I am pretty sure our server will fill up.

As far as for going to a server where all the GLBT guilds go to...does it really matter? Segregating to that level seems a bit over the top to me. Being on a gay-straight friendly guild is fun and cozy because we can joke around without freaking people out but beyond that, it seems unecessary (...or it's because we want to have virtual sex with every male character we encounter without being constantly bashed?).

Trying to guess which server will be the best candidate taking into consideration factors such as LGBT pop., concurrency, WvW at this point, it's just not possible.

Finger point the server list and voila, lets go together, and enjoy.

I just got a new pc

Specs-

Ivy Bridge i7 3770k

Mobo - B75 Pro3-M

Graphics - Built in Intel HD 4000

16GB DDr3

My old graphics card is a ATI Radeon HD 4770, It doesn't support DX11, it has a lower pixel shader than the built in one.

When i play games its really patchy, sometimes it jerks a little (behave)

My question is, Do i just forget about the built in graphics, sacrificing the dx11 and higher pixel shader and plug in my old card till i can get a newer one? Or is there a way to make the HD 4000 not run like a bag of shit?

I completely disagree.. I've played Guild Wars 1 for around 85 months and I've only recently become bored of it because of Guild Wars 2

Don't you think you'll run out of content if you rush through it? I don't know much about GW1. How did you keep busy during those years?

Ow dear... finally I reached the forums via stonewallvanguard.com (thanks to the bro-tip of a sweet Bajoran Fleet Captain!) I was thinking it might be a problem with the unsecured WiFi I've been stealing from the neighbours at my vacation address. It's hard enough to be unable to play STO for two weeks (!), but being out of comm range with y'all was nothing else but torture. *feels like Cpt. Janeway after contacting Earth via MIDAS*

Hard & fast. ;)

Guild Wars 2 end-game starts at level 1. I can go back and do any content I want and it still be relevant. I really want my character to have the benefits from all of the traits and utilities, so I plan on leveling fast.

Regarding nnicc's comment "I guess this game is made to play slowly or you'll get bored quickly." I completely disagree.. I've played Guild Wars 1 for around 85 months and I've only recently become bored of it because of Guild Wars 2 and that game has a level cap of 20. They wanted you to not focus on leveling to experience content and Guild Wars 2 is the same in most cases.. the only difference is that lower level players can't experience higher level content. Level 80's don't have to worry about that. You don't have to level slow to have fun.

This may be a good time to point out that there are no level requirements at all -- you don't even have to finish the initial tutorial, if you don't mind playing an Ensign! The whole event is intended as a sort of tutorial that will explore different aspects of roleplay, so it's a good introduction for beginners, too.

And "blueshirt" is just my own play on "redshirt"... I'm referring to medical or science officers, as their uniforms are blue. :)

Voila my Necrominion build

If I don't see this does it for me I will go Soul Reaper mode.

I got car sick watching this video lol

Here's GW2 at 5400x1920. Though I've got to admit, that's almost silly.

I love how you said almost silly.

omg, that's hilarious! I wouldn't be completely opposed to a de-necromancer server, as they kinda squick me. ;)
Just think if this game had smell-o-vision....

Hey! Do not de-necromance me :)

i'll just wait a couple years for 4k monitors

I also hadn't noticed .. I'm going to have to send you all mail just to confirm! :D

at the very least "WE" will have a lot of fun getting to know each other, grouping up, taking on exciting things in the game and just overall.....playing the game very stress-free.

Speaking as a very new member, I'd really like to play with this attitude. GW2 rewards adventuring which is something that is always better with people you enjoy playing with. I'd like to get to know everyone and then, no matter if we are #1 in WvWvW or last place, working together to take a tower or defend a town in PvE. I know that I'll be very active in the community for whatever sever is chosen and I will choose whatever server the leadership picks.
