I have experienced problems with performance in the new maps compared to the current WvW-maps, and wonder if there is anyone else experiencing this as well? In current WvW-maps I can run the game on pretty much the highest settings without affecting the overall performance, however in the desert borderlands I will have to use the lowest settings for the game to run smoothly. Is this, in that case, intended or is it somehow related to the test environment?
I think it would become tedious to change settings going from EB to the desert borderlands several times during a single play session.
