Asura Pistol Bug & Massive FPS Drops From Explosions
Another thing I’d like to mention is the ridiculously high effect that particle effects have when you are zoomed in, it can cause almost 20 FPS decrease, whereas when zoomed out, there are no issues, here are some more screens of my FPS drop:
(NOTICE the time stamp, I haven’t changed any settings, and the time between the FPS drop is literally seconds)

As you can see, the last screenshot shows me throwing a grenade quite close to the screen with out losing any frames. My computer is more than sufficient to run this game, so its definitely not a hardware issue, my drivers are up to date as well as everything else that should be. The game runs fine at 31 frames everywhere except WvW and these strange FPS drops from random particle effects.
Am I the only one who is experiencing these issues?
