Guild Wars 2

Hello guys!

I was just wondering how was your fps during previous beta events on the newest HoT map Verdant Brink. Did it drop?

I think I have a decent PC and I’m running the game on high. I like my settings how they are right now and wouldn’t want to change them just because of the expansion…

I’ve had a substantial fps drop during the first beta weekend when looking at the burning skyship right at the entrance of Verdant Brink (from 60 fps down to 45 fps). Reducing all my graphics settings to the minimum didn’t help either.

Apart from that I was able to run the game at or close to 60 fps. Reducing the “reflections” options from “all” to “sky and terrain only” helped to get rid of most seemingly random fps drops.

I’m not sure if that’s the info you’re looking for but I found the performance similar to the one I get in Dry Top or Silverwastes. Use that as a proxy.

Thanks for answer! I really appreciate the comparison between Verdant Brink and Dry Top / Silverwastes.

I would also love to hear from someone who has a slightly worse PC than Straylight. I myself have about 30 FPS on high settings in SIlverwastes.

I have a gtx 780 and an i7 4930k @ 3.4 ghz. GW2 is mostly CPU bound. I play GW2 maxed out except character limit & quality both on medium.

If you were happy with your performance so far I wouldn’t worry too much about HoT performance.

I’m glad to hear that Thank you one more time
