Guild Wars 2

Title says it all, really. I, for one, am very interested in what the Dev’s would like to put forward about this, especially in ways we can get our rigs to perform better.

I’ve tried all of the standard stuff and tweaked the latest settings but my performance is still poor in a game that, when I first started playing, was very smooth indeed.

Good luck getting a response, and just be thankful you don’t run an AMD cpu so there might be hope for you. Pretty sad when a new $1000 gaming rig that runs every other game at 60+ fps on ultra can’t handle gw2. And there has been zero optimization in a year.

This is the games’ “black sheep issue”, performance.

You will get 0 response from a dev on their own official forum(which might as well be reddit).
You will get 0 performance updates, one year is nothing when the mantra is “it will be done when it is done”
You will get 0 performance upgrades from future technology since CPUs are going parallel.
You will get 0 fps using the minimum recommended system requirements.

Couldn’t agree more. Its too bad because for the most part I do like the game but the performance isn’t getting better and I’m not going to buy a new PC to still get unacceptable fps when every other modern game runs great for me. When changing from ultra settings to everything on low im lucky to gain 5 fps, usually i gain like 2. To me it shows just how bad the code is in this game. Also as far a getting a response about anything that is what bothers me most. I used to work in customer support and if my people ever handled issues like they are handled here I would have fired the entire department on the spot.

The game WAS optimized beautifully up until a month or two ago. I used to get kitten FPS in Lions Arch. Something happened when they messed with the culling that KILLED CPU compatibility. I don’t see more than 20-25% CPU usage, while my GPU is at 100%. I can’t get more than 20FPS for the life of me. Changing the video settings has no effect at all, which obviously points to CPU bottleneck.
