Guild Wars 2

Still no response whatsoever from Anet after submitting ticket(s).

FPS is a joke, cannot move, cannot even walk into quicksand to suicide…

EVERY other map ingame regardless of population etc runs fine. I can run EotM on MAX graphics and sail thru w/zerg.

Have graphics on lowest settings and get 3-6 FPS on drytop, and not just map, story instances. I can’t even play the first kittening part of this LS(at Cornered).

I keep hearing about this this called Entangled, and I wish I could maybe one day find out what that is.

Serisouly zero word from kittening Anet,

Someone, explain to me, instead. Thank you.

Yeah well, it’s a jumping puzzle. So, did you really want to play it all? I don’t.

I finished the story on one character and that’s enough of that. I see no need to go back for the extra possible achievement points or to finish the map. Falling to my death is just not that interesting.

How can we know about your hardware? I play with around 40 FPS on highest settings, what should be way enough… so it’s either a problem that occurs only sometimes, or it’s because of your hardware (maybe yours work fine for EotM, but for some reason not for Dry Top? Who knows…)

Yes, but why is this happening, and regardless of achievements, I would like to finish the basic story instance. I’m debating just not playing this season at all, because I’d rather miss out on content than look at all this great stuff and know I can’t have any of it. And not because lack of skill, but some bs tech kitten on Anet’s end(I assume cause my specs are golden).

And Thanathos, if it’s hardware it would affect the game, this is JUST drytop.

Dry Top utilizes textures and animations that don’t exist elsewhere in the game – both permanently and in total. You have sandstorms, new models, aspect skills, the new arid-like terrain, etc.

It would actually make perfect sense for it to be a hardware issue because of this.

It’s your PC and/or internet connection. I know you probably here that all the time but it’s true. This is especially so if you get 3-5 FPS on the lowest settings.

I think you’re better off posting in the bug forum. It’s probably a hardware and/or driver specific problem too, so you might want to gather all that information first.

Don’t try playing it with Comcast as an ISP. (Tried it once when at a friend’s apartment. Never again.)

I, for one, found it endlessly entertaining to wait underneath the part where most players make mistakes on the way up the jumping puzzle and fall to their deaths. Two, three, or even four characters falling down to their deaths at your feet – simultaneously – is really funny. (And provides for plenty of rezzing opportunities!)

Granted, it wasn’t nearly as fun when I was the one falling down, but the challenge was eventually overcome, and superbly satisfying. Getting the Dive Master achievement as well was icing on the cake.

(NB: I’m also getting pretty low FPS numbers here, maybe 5-10 less than my average – which is about 17-25 depending on the area. Yeah, I need a system upgrade.)

Actually, it would be better served in the Tech Support sub-forum, rather than Game Bugs. Ashley is pretty good about responding over there, and Jeffrey in Game Bugs mostly helps with bugs in the PS missions. Never with stuff like lag or fps like Ashley does.
