Hi guys, I am just a bit confused about the gw2 performance.

Since one of the monthly requires JPs to be done, I decided to check out some JPs that I remembered as fun / fancy.
So I went to chaos crystal caverns cause I remembered it being that one JP that had the greatest looks. when I got there I was kinda disappointed. I wasn’t sure if I remembered it better than it was or if something had changed. then I checked out my screenshots from january and this is what i found:

start of the JP:

now: http://i.imgur.com/l4J9cGA.jpg

one more old screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/Q4opWE9.jpg

wtf… all the shinyness has gone… it doesn’t look anything like it used to look…

it was such a shiny jp and it looks like dead now…

has something changed in gw2 overall graphics or was the jp itself changed ?
or is this supposed to be part of some living story since there are 2 dead golems that i can’t find on my old screenshot

Perhaps it changes with the day/night cycle? (don’t know if it does, just stating a possibility)

Maybe check your graphics settings and drivers?
Because I just went there and took a screen shot that looks like the older ones.

really weird, i have the same settings that you have and just now when i checked the cave again, it looks super shiny like on my old screenshots and yours… but an hour ago, with exactly those settings, it looked like dead…. very strange..

Well, like I suggested, it might look different between day and night.

I haven’t noticed much change over time. Except that part about having only been able to open the chest once. Ever. In all the times I’ve done it.

Where are my gem sales? I want gem sales! Nerf EVERYTHING!

According to the wiki its end chest shares the timer of Weyandt’s Revenge in LA, so if you do that every day you can’t get the chest from Chaos Crystal Cavern.

that could be true. but imo thats very stupid of the devs. if i had created such a nice place i would want everyone to see it. most ppl do the jp just once and if they get there at the wrong time, it won’t impress.

perhaps it was just a graphics bug ?
