Guild Wars 2

Hey guys. I,m sure many people have graphics problems spatially in WvW or when more then 30 players are around so i think Anet should do what Aion have end that is Shif + F12…. makes all players invincible except there names end u only see your target player.
I think that will be the best solution for now till all the CPUs get utilized. Us of now WvW is unplayable end i have.. core 2 duo 2.66 GH ,4 GB DDR2 Ram, GTX560 ti video card .
Have fun.. couse i.m not xD

Makes all your enemies invincible :O

That would be awful!

Invisible I assume :P

I don’t think that would really work.

You’d probably either just run blindly after your target because I think most people won’t pay much attention to the enemies this way.
Or you’d have a hard time selecting a new enemy.
Aside from breaking the immersion that is.

Ps. No graphics issues here.

Actually it will end should be a option. I,m happy u got no problems but lots of people do have them end they need solutions . SHift+ F12 will do wonders end will safe lots of people money. Hope Anet should take close look for that option. Maybe will not be the best but will be A Option to choose . Personally i don’t care bout pretty images.. i care to go PVP… end be able to play… that’s all

Personally I don’t believe this should ever become an option, reason being is that it is no more than a band-aid. All focus should be on fixing the performance issues, not covering them up.

“Ah well, they can just turn off the graphics, all is OK.” – No thanks.

Actually turning the graphics don’t make so match deference at this point anyway xD
Well whatever it is something must be done …souse WvW is unplayable at this stage..that’s all

We need a hotkey that hides everything on the screen ^^ I think this will help a lot with fps problems.

No need for sarcasm…. It is simply E Option for people to have…that’s all. IF your PC is so great then u just ignore that option

I just think it’s a bad idea to start hiding stuff that would normally be visible, as it could potentially be game breaking. Just buy a new computer

I don’t need to buy new computer. My PC run every game on the market today just fine end just so u know i don’t even use THAT option in AION end i get 60FPS in 300 zergs. Also if u read the forum there is many people with I5 end I7s that have same problem so what is the guaranty i spend anther 1500 $ end the game will run fine ?

There are some that have issues with i5’s and i7’s. I’ve seen a lot more people with AMD cpu’s on here that have a ton of problems with fps. Anyway, I just don’t think arenanet will do something that is a ‘cheap fix’. I’m sure they’ll figure it out. Majority of people who have fps problems are legitimately on low end computers though.

I’m sorry, but your thread title is misleading. This is not a solution, this is a workaround (and kind of a lame one IMO).

Clearly you don’t know what SHIFT+F12 did to enemy characters in Aion, that is —> no effect.

Anyway just let the people choose. And this workaround is intended to come TOGETHER with a FPS optimization.

Anyway i did make another thread about this: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/WORKAROUND-Character-hide-hotkey-for-more-FPS/first#post45809

Actually, most of those complaints are people with LAPTOP i5 and i7.
Laptop CPUs are significantly weaker than their desktop versions.
Some mobile i5s aren’t even quad core.

I have i5-3570k and Radeon 7950, and I have 0 problems other than occasional texture flickering(not related to performance).

Give me a break will ya… u tell me that Core 2 duo 2.66 with GTX 560ti cant get 20FPS in PvP…so i gues this game was made for I5 + end GTX690+ e…well if that is the case i,m done with it. sigh up for 60$ game NOT 1600$ one …eeeek.

It doesn’t matter what your graphics card is. Your CPU is simply too weak.
It’s unreasonable to expect your 6 year old CPU to be adequate for a modern MMO that is CPU dependent.

Also, where are you getting this $1600 from?
It only costs about $800 to build a computer that can run GW2 at moderately high settings at 1080p with playable FPS during intense WvW battles.

But since your GPU is already pretty good, you only need to upgrade your CPU, Mobo, Ram, and PSU, which shouldn’t cost that much compared to buying a whole new computer.

Expecting people to go out and buy a whole new computer for a 60$ game is asinine. The requirements on the box led people to believe they could play the game with the recommended system requirements not have 15-20 fps on the lowest settings in WvW.

Man… if i build new PC it wont be 800$ one end i will go for max cause it don’t make sens to build something that 6 months from now will be absolute . But that is not the case here.
I said agein… MY PC run great on any aether game in the market today. U don’t simply expect people to buy new PC just to play your game..period . My PC is above minimum requirements end i should be able to have at least 15 fps in WvW.. not 3 end of the story
