Guild Wars 2

As the title says, are the promised performance optimizations still in progress? A few months back when you guys talked about removal of WvW culling you also said that you will be making some big performance optimizations to help us low end users have at least double digit FPS in cities and in areas with a lot of people.

Is the low-res option the optimization you spoke off or is there something else still in the works?

Well, seeing this new update to WvW brought me a nice performance during massive zerg fights. I’d say they are.

I’m on a two year old studio laptop. Used to get less than a frame per second in the larger zerg fights. Now I get 3-5.

I honestly don’t understand how they need more optimization for low end PCs, my GFX card died, so I’m running on integrated, and I’m still getting 30 fps in cities on low settings.

Unless it’s an issue where you have the power, but the game isn’t using it properly (I know there were some issues with FX CPUs and stuff, that does need to get worked on).

Still no settings for particle effects. Give us that and 90% of peoples WvW related issues would dissolve. We have the settings for WvW quality and character limits, why not particles?

I agree with you Imperialist, I feel like an option for low `res` particle effects would really help us poor folk on low to medium end PCS
