Guild Wars 2

So I’m playing WvW today and I notice that on SFR EU server we had quee on all borderlands and EB, meaning there are 600 players active at all time playing WvW.
And problem that everyone have is horrible lagg.
We have connection lag that’s causing lagg and delay on skill use, or you can’t even use skills at all because of it.

And another lagg we have is ofcourse graphic lagg and fps drop. Everyone is complaining about that on TS and WvW chat.

I don’t know if it’s your priority to deliver us good performance, but just from one server you have 600 players with horrible laggs. Imagine how many players are having the same strugle across all servers.
Sure DX11/12 update would take some time and money, but it’s worth it. Much more players would come to WvW and acively play it, so something must be done about that.

As I also said in some older thread, problem is with server and lack of optimisation.
I tested playing GW2 on EB with monster PC, OCed to the limits and 1Gbps dedicated link. So when you have FPS drop from 60 to 20, and ping jump from 30 to 900 on that kind of PC, you can simply know something must be done with it.

And don’t give me that answer that servers can’t handle it and nothing can be done about it. In 2016 everything can be done. With proper servers and optimisation we could easily play on 60FPS at all times and max 40 ping.

Anet has pushed out a lot of new changes with the newest update and are still live-beta testing a lot of it. Not to mention, we have more things coming to WvW come this Friday. I’m not saying that your problem isn’t a serious one, but give them some time to sort everything out.

As far as NA goes, I haven’t heard about any complaints of extreme skill or graphics lag since the update dropped. There were a few game crashes but they patched that up within a few hours of release.

Then change server? come to a less populated server, I never lag on Far Shiverpeaks.

Well you’re gonna hear about it now lol. I’m in T1 NA and my fps has tanked even on potato settings. I used to record gameplay in high quality and now I can barely just run the game on medium.

I won’t move on server with low population. I moved to SFr just because they have active TS leaders for EB.
WvW isn’t about solo roaming around and killing 1 by 1. That’s for PvP.
At WvW I expect to have massive fights with 300+ players at the same time.

And yeah changing settings doesn’t help at all.

I know story line and other updates have higher priority, but what will you do with perfect story and events, when you get 10 fps.

They added tons of game updates, story lines etc. I think it’s time for some performance upgrades and updates. You can’t just keep adding new content and stay at DX9c for ever. That technology will be soon 10 years old and i’s realy time to upgrade it.
DX11 is out for like 5 years at least so there is huge knowdlage database about upgrading from 9c to 11 and realy shouldn’t be so kitten hard.

Let’s keep our fingers crossed

I play in SEA with 245 ping and 30FPS on big fight but i still fine m8

It might be fine for you, but it’s dissapointing for me.
If ping is higher than 100, it’s bad.
And if FPS drop below 50, I also can’t accept that.

My CPU is running on 40-50% usage.
GPU on around 50% ussage, but at core frequency of 650Mhz (max is 1040), so it’s acctually more like 20-30% GPU total usage.
And those are numbers from fights when FPS is droping. I mean really? I don’t know how, just make that game to acctually use CPU and GPU ressources insetad of FPS drop.
I know this game might always be CPU heavy because for some reason you can’t put that work on GPU, but at least make it use whole CPU power from those chips with multithreading.

I love this game and all content, but the only thing that’s bothering me, is that FPS drop. Fix that, update your DX and do some optimisation that will keep our FPS intact, and I can say with all my heart that this is the best game I have ever seen.

Oh? I haven’t been able to log today so I’m speaking solely from what I experienced yesterday. Maybe things have changed, but my game quality has stayed the same pre and post patch. Regardless, I don’t think Anet would be able to push out an update, live-beta test, fix new bugs, push more changes, and optimize all at the same time. Maybe they should be? Obviously not happening though haha.

Edit: Just mentioning that I’m in T2 which recently got that huge population boost and I haven’t seen this problem mentioned in map chat nor TS.

Moving from Dx9c to 12 on the client will have no effect on the server – you’ll just get better quality graphics.

MMOs games are essentially two threaded, there just isn’t anything sensible to do with a third thread.

GW2 handles massive 300+ fights extremely well in comparison to other MMOs. If you think otherwise check them out!
