Guild Wars 2

id like to be able to lower my graphic settings automatically in wvw too; so +1

As long as it was a setting that can be toggled (auto calibrate gfx on/off) I’m for it. Otherwise, players that can handle the load would have to readjust it back to high every time they went into WvW.

+1

I also agree with this. And slightly off topic but i also think it would be cool to have customizable dye color presets too. If you find a few color combinations you like that you want to be able to switch between quickly and easily. :P

I would just have the low-limit settings default to the current graphics settings. Only if the user specifically requests a lower graphic settings would they be used.

You should play around with the WvW graphics (quality and limit) you find at the end on the page.

I’ve set the quality to low (or what ever the second worst is called) and I’ve notice the models of other players don’t get shading or things like that, also when theres a lot they turn to lowest (the preset one color toons).

It also does did to pre load them when you get close to them, so you see right away they are there, and then it changes up a bit.

You guys want a automatic toggle, whenever the game get’s “heavier” to turn itself down?

That does not work. Simply because everyone has different hardware.
Some run 5ghz CPUs with TriSLI titans.
Others play on a dual core Pentium 4 with a 8800gts.

You’re gonna have to stick with the manual settings change which isn’t a big deal as it’s literally like 5 clicks.

an optional setting ‘template’ that the game automatically switches to when in wvw; i honestly do not see how that would be a problem

I’m aware that some graphics settings can’t be changed on the fly, as they would take too long to reset. I’m just hoping that there are a few that can be changed.

Unfortunately, It’s a lot more than 5 clicks. I would have to write down all my graphics settings for PvE and WvW and refer to that for switching. Also when I get into a large fight in PvE, I don’t have time to switch settings.

Or how about an optional graphics ‘template’ that I can switch to manually.
(Menu->graphics->select template->close). At least that will help with WvW.

There’s 2 settings which will help in WvW, turn off reflections and shadows. That will help out a ton.
