Wow For Mac 201611/13/2020
Today I got a mail from Blizzard about getting back into World of Warcraft, and I thought why the hell not.I bought the no-touchbar 13 model, which means it has the following specs: Processor: 2 GHz Intel Core i5 RAM: 8 GB 1867 MHz LPDDR3 Graphics card: Intel Iris Graphics 540 1536 MB I checked the specs listed on Blizzards own site, and mostly they seem to hold up.Im not expecting to run it on ultra or anything, but I need a solid framerate and some draw distance to give me a little immersion.Been sweating for a new RPG to sink my teeth into for a while, so WoW just might do the trick.
Also, if you have any good RPG suggestions for PS4, throw them my way. WOW is one of the most-pptimsed games for low spec computers and Blizzard has a great track record with the Mac operating system. If bandwith isnt an issue you can download the game for free and trial a character to level 20 without paying 3 years ago. The new Mac is a great deal better though, so hopefully itll be fine. Never realized I missed this game until I stepped into the Goldshire Inn, and it was fucking packed.

I know Im choosing portability over performance with this one, but I have a 2015 iMac at home if I need more power - this is more something I can take with me everywhere and break out whenever I have a few minutes to code. Im also thinking it couldnt hurt to load a couple of games onto it too. My expectations arent too high, but I thought Id try loading WoW onto it and see if it is playable at lowest settings. My expectations arent high, but I was wondering if anyone else had tried playing WoW on a 2016 12 MacBook and can comment on whether or not its at least playable.

The problem isnt with the power, but rather the thermal throttling issue. Development should be fine as long as you dont have very high expectations. But in your case, Id recommend you wait for the new Macbook pro to come out and get it because it will be redesigned and will take a lot of the design features from the macbook. And it will be a lot more powerful which will suit your requirements. Youre sure that will be the case after TuesdayWednesday Thats when Patch 7.0 will be released which will raise the system requirements.

Continue this thread level 2 2 points 4 years ago I cant wait for a new Macbook pro. I have the 2012 13 non retina boosted max with RAMs and SSD but god. I wish I had a better screen and the designlook of the 2016 makes me wanting for a new model level 2 1 point 4 years ago Even while throttled it is still fast and playable. For now, you can play on low and get okay FPS when questing and maybe in 5-man dungeons. ![]() Will this excessive heat kill my cpu faster level 2 Original Poster 1 point 4 years ago Generally speaking, computers can take a pretty decent amount of heat for short periods of time, but for extended periods, it can cause components to get damaged or move out of place. ![]() Wow 2016 Update You OnOnce my 12 Macbook arrives Monday I can update you on how it does heat-wise. Considering I used to play WoW back in 2005 on my 12 Powerbook G4 I think your retina MBP will do. Yes the macbook can game on medium but with 25-30 FPS which can be playable however I do not recommended it during intense moments like pvp or crazy huge pve. You should not have any issues playing with huge mobs or intense pvp. If you want me to do more detailed test tonight let me know in the comments down below and ill get that up for you guys.
