Guild Wars 2

I love the new dungeon, or rather, I would love to love it. Fact is I can barely play it because it fries my GPU. There is a lot of ‘green light’ which I’ve noted is very hard for my GPU to render for some reason, and so I have to play on lowest settings. Which creates a new problem: Electric Floors.

The “tell” that an Electric Floor is coming is apparently sparks on the floor. I say apparently because virtually nothing displays for me. I’m not against the idea of Electric Floors, but can we have some sort of circle or line? Every other AoE attack in the game has an easily readable tell at low graphics but Electric Floors.

This does not just apply to the dungeon, btw. Golem Mark II is nearly impossible for me to discern when an Electric Floor is about to pop up. In the new TA path it’s harder because of the mesh floor.

I can’t turn my graphics up any further for these instances. I already get GPU freezes and full locks in just about every aspect of the game now even though it used to run smoothly. Green lighting is the worst, causing render lag like no other. I just wish this were either optimized a bit more or with a clear ‘tell’.

Could always just jump onto a raised panel whenever it comes up.

best performance + Sample native?

I can jump on the platforms, but I have no warning that it is coming up. This is the problem.

I have bad enough lag with low performance, why would I want to put on best?

The platform is the one of the warnings, it usually always pops up before the floor charges.

The platform is the one of the warnings, it usually always pops up before the floor charges.

There’s a maze part that does not have this option.

I survive the boss mostly by standing near/on the platform and only moving if I get gear thrown at me. My point is I shouldn’t have to do this, there should be a better warning from the actual aoe at low graphics.

There are other things recently that have not had even a faint apperance at low graphics. Tequatl’s footprint, for example. Nothing at low graphics. Not even an outline.
