Guild Wars 2

Hi

The game is very nice to play and i love it, especially WvW.
But there are things that can be fixed by some simple things
Here are some lag solutions for the game.

1: You can choose if you show other players explosions

You must be able to choose if you can choose to see other players explosions.
This is one of the must things that create much lag and low fps.

2: Smoke effects on and off

I have seen many people who have problems with smoke effects that they will have much
lag at that moment or low fps.

3: Something to add to culling

you must have the chance to choose in culling setting Nameplate only so it
doesnt have to render the enemy players.
If you click on them or attack them they will be rendered.

4: Let the game use multi cores

The game only uses 1 core, if you want to play the game good you need to OC your cpu
and most of us are just casual gamers who also don’t have money to buy a high end cpu.

I hope Arenanet will listen to this and will at least fullfill
one of these things listed above.

I’d be satisfied with #4, tbh. Why let a quadcore go to waste?
Also, #5:

Optimization by CPU architecture. As is, folk have differing experiences from an Intel system, than with an AMD. If we could optimize the game for either CPU type, it might just improve performance, overall.

5 is the same is 4 because if you have an AMD gaming rig i think you go for the octa core processor,then all cores will be used

There are two things happening that people define as lag. One is graphical lag (which I’d consider more of a performance problem), the other is actual server lag. The sugestions you’re giving are great for increasing performance (I specifically would love to have 1 and 2, or at least a particle slider, and 4), but would do nothing for server lag, which is the one I see most complained about.

Basically the general idea is, if the game and your skills are responsive (as in, skill happen when you press or click on them), but you have slow FPS, then it’s computer performance that is the problem, but if you click on an ability and takes a little while to process, or you see things suddenly stop moving (specially if the FPS remains somewhat smooth), then it’s a server lag issue.

More things can be also done:
You know when the lowest WvW Character Quality option is chosen in the graphics menu all players get new low resolution models in WvW to reduce lag.
So I think those armors of the models should be redone. They should make new armors for the models that are even more less detailed, because the current ones already exist ingame and they still have not needed details. Oh and the lowest WvW Character Quality options doesn’t change the players weapons. They should also make low quality/detailed weapons for the models. And i personally think that the models should have normal animations.

I never known that it uses only 1 core. Yes, making the game use all cores would be perfect, as I’m tired of getting medium FPS while disabling some things while at other new triple A games I’m getting a lot more frames with more features enabled.

It uses 4 but inefficiently.

It doesn’t use only one core. Most games do use all 4 if you have a quad core, but you have high diminishing returns after 3. If you’re CPU usage is not at 100% when playing any game, then there’s something bottlenecking such as amount of RAM, memory bandwidth, or GPU.

Here’s an article on it.
