WoW -- Goddamnit, why don't I own this game? - Page 2

But SysReqLab tells you if your computer can run it, how well, and what it would take to get to the "Run well" stage.

Did you run it?

I ran it using less than the minimum system requirements. I'm not home for the holidays though, so I'll give you exact specs later.

No.

I mean, isn't it just using the officially-issued requirements as a guide? I can guess for myself. Plus, it tried to download shit onto my computer, and I don't trust it. Would you vouch for the quality of this product and/or service, Mirai?

Also, are you sure it'd even work on a Mac?

I played WoW for a few months on my iBook G4 (1.42ghz processor, 512mb RAM, ATI Mobility Radeon 9550 w/32mb RAM) and it was tolerable. Whenever I hit up a large group or went into a city however... whoah.

I'd rethink hitting myself in the head with that game on that system. Sure it'll run... but will you really want to play it?

Tydeus · 01-01-2007, 01:48 AM

I'm willing to play at 640 x 480, with basically everything set to crap. It's worth it. Please tell me that's not what your iBook was set to?

Yes, and yes.

SysReqLab is completely and utterly safe. If you're willing to install GameSpy on your computer to play Battlefield 2142, you are 100% safe for installing whatever it is SysReqLab wants.

And it's not that it tells you the system specs. It tells you where you fall on a giant line, the base of the line being if you can run it, and the top of the line being top-notch performance. They then separate each of the categories - RAM, CPU, video card, sound card, etc - and show you how you fall on each individual line. In short, it's easily the best and most accurate way to finding out how a game runs on your computer short of actually running the game on your computer.

And as for the second question...WoW has been making too many patches under the "Mac Users" category for it not to work.

Althane · 01-01-2007, 09:13 AM

But just so you know, it's not entierly accurate. It's marked me as being unable to play certain games (X-men Legends 2, for example), when I run them perfectly fine. So it's a good guess,m but not a perfect one.

And seriously, if a site is suggested here by an older member, it's probably very safe to go to. =P

Tydeus · 01-01-2007, 03:05 PM

Yeah. It doesn't work on Macs. It listed everything I have as "undefined."

Then I went back and read the system requirements and realized that it does in fact require a Windows PC. So, I guess I'll just have to rely on testimonials for now.

Look online for a Mac version.

Like I said, people in WoW run it on Macs. I'm sure they do.

Me being one of them, but then again my macbook pro is a monster. A word of advice, dont use the blizzard downloader for getting the updates, its horrible. Unfortunately there arent many websites that hos the mac patches so sometimes you will be forced to use it. The expansion goes live in a few weeks so its a perfect time to join. PM me and Ill show ya the ropes if you join.
