Warning… Not a computer nerd so don’t get all technical with me…

I have noticed more lag and fps dropping when the loot drop notification display is scrolling down with the loot I’m getting. I have not calculated the fps loss while playing and getting loot, but here are some basic numbers…

Sitting in LA- 60 fps

Open lots of bags and the loot notification is scrolling- Drops down to 40-50 fps.

Taking a screen shot of the fps loss while opening bags- A brief minus 10 fps.

Loot notification done- 60 fps.

…So, would be possible to add in an option that disables the loot notification to help combat some of the lag and fps loss? Would be great because every little bit counts…

I’m all for the option. Seems like it would help people see what they want to see even if they aren’t using it for the same reasons. Your issue is entirely a computer issue though. A notification wouldn’t cause that.

What do you mean a computer issue? Like an old computer or one that’s not optimized for gaming?

Just wondering because I do have a great set up.

I usually ask my friend for what could be causing the issue for exact information, but to me it sounds like the processor. Gw2 is very gpu and cpu intensive.
