My rig is 7 years old,
Duel Core 2.66ghz
4GB DDR2 ram,
BFG9800GT 3GB DDR3.

It can handle the game running full all the time. Do you have a lot running in the back ground?

Na. As the poster above mentioned, there is no speed boost on my cpu, and its designed for multi-threads. I am downloading the game now. First thing I am going to do is get into wvw and find a large fight. If my fps drops to 12 or lower like it used to, I’ll just uninstall again. I could buy a new PC in a month or so, but by then TESO will be out. I was just in beta for teso and this rig ran fine on high settings so…. /shrug

I played for a while after launch, but I had to quit due to performance issues. I have 8g of RAM, a GTX 550ti, and Q6600 quad 2.4 gz cpu. Win 8 OS. I realize the cpu is the weak link on my rig, but I am able to run any other game. GW2 was terrible in high populated areas like wvw or large scale events.

So I’m wondering if things have gotten better? Have there been changes since launch in regards to optimization for different rigs?

I'm disappointed by the event and the gem store, i feel ripped off

I agree. I am not spending another dime on Anet. Yes we know it is a gamble, yes we know we don’t have to do it. But the fact is that many of us want to support the game and expect at least something useful in return. If they intend for the gem store to be a steady scource of revenue, then they better adjust the RNG, because I for one will never be spending another dime on this game and many MANY people feel that way. Way to go Anet. Solid marketing strategy. Well done.

Botting threads redirected to a closed thread? Really?

Its out of control. I just saw 3 groups of bots (around 15 toons) run by me in a loop. You wonder why your economy is broken? And your answer is to shut all the threads down? You guys better fix this soon or people are gonna drop off like flies.

DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE BOTS

BOT’s are paying customers too!

Honestly I’m not sure if this is sarcasm or not because I don’t fully understand what a bot is. So I see 6 toons all running and fighting in unison. Does that mean that there is one dude with 6 accounts that is somehow controlling them all at the same time? This game doesn’t have a “follow” option, so how is that possible? How is it possible to get 6 characters to function behind the controls of one keyboard?

I play on Tarnished Coast server. For 3 days in a row now I have seen the farming areas in Frostgorge being exploited by bot farming. packs of 4-6 characters all moving/fighting in unison with names that were clearly random. I have been reporting this and have been trying to encourage others in map chat to report it as well. Maybe this isn’t what “botting” is, but if not, then what is it? All I know is that this is clearly some kind of exploit and needs to be stopped. We have very few farming areas for endgame mats as it is w/o trying to compete with 6 mechanical rangers killing everything.

These things have been bugged since shortly after launch if they ever even worked at all aside from directly following a patch. Just as 2 examples, niether Malchor’s Leap or Straights of Devistation can be completed because of WELL KNOWN AND REPORTED BUGS that have been around for weeks and weeks. I love Anet and have supported you guys for a very long time. I have talked many many people into trying your game and now I am starting to feel like a fool. The fact that you cannot/will not fix something that so dramaticly effects EVERY SINGLE PERSON BUYING YOUR GAME. is ridiculous. This is way beyond patience to the point of insanity.

stuck on loading after update..

Seems like characters that were playing during the patch are unable to log in. At least that is my guess since all other characters log in just fine.

Will minimum RAM effect FPS?

GPU-GTX550TI
CPU-Intel quad core 6600 2.4 ghz

Game runs great most of the time. I cap around 60 fps.
As soon as I get into wvw it drops to 15 and as soon as I get around other players it drops to around 5 or 6 then I crash.
I have upgraded the gpu on this system, but it has XP for an OS and only 2G of RAM which is the minimum for the game. When I check memory usage during the game it is at about 99%
I know that generally speaking, FPS isn’t a RAM issue, but could it be my main problem considering I only have 2G? Seems to me my gpu and cpu are fine.
Please tell me what I should do because I want to play wvw and this is getting frustrating. Thanks
