Before even buying an external hard drive so I have enough space for this game
Can this Mac run everything in the game? Probably not on highest settings but ehh.
MacBook Air (13-inch, medio 2013)
Processor: 1.3 GHz Core i5 (I5-4250U)
Memory: 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Video card: Intel HD Graphics 5000 1536 MB

You might be able to play it on the very lowest settings but I doubt it would be enjoyable. Intel HD graphics cards are not meant for gaming and will struggle to run any game on low settings. Most games will require a Discreet graphics card to be installed.
I have an old laptop I was running ESO on with 8GB RAM and a Nvidia GTX 660M 2GB discreet card, and it would run on medium settings at around 30-40 fps, but in any kind of battle with more than 4-5 people it would drop down below 30 as low as 20 fps which is a stuttering mess.
That 660M is way, way more powerful than an Intel HD Graphics.
Here is a video of some guy running it on a similar system and you can see it is a choppy mess that looks barely playable.

@Lagerfueled thanks for the reply. I was wondering cause GW2 ran decently on max settings and WoW ran smooth on highest settings up to lvl 20 content (for the trial part)Lagerfueled wrote: »Video card: Intel HD Graphics 5000 1536 MB
