I have read many posts about Guild Wars 2 running poorly or not launching/updating in PlayOnLinux. I actually didn't have a lot of problems at all. The installation was smooth and the game downloaded in about an hour and I could start playing. GW2 allows for streaming download, but I turned it off because it seemed to slow down the game dramatically. Then I had to redownload the entire game again.
Performance is pretty decent, but in order to get smooth frame rates I had to turn down some of the display options like shaders and antialiasing.
This video stutters a lot because I'm trying to play the game and record at the same time. Real-time frame rates are much better!
