I would second this. While my system runs ok (35-40ish) on best appearance in normal pve, world raids tend to drop the framerate horribly. On the other hand best performance just looks lame compared.

So, I’d like to be able to set my own high and low settings, and be able to switch between those, without having to manually set every setting every time. In my case “my visual” would allow framerate closer to 60 for solo pve without too much loss of visuality, and “my performance” would cut off most of the unnecessary things for raids/events/wvw/etc. without going necessarily to the extreme low on everything.

I certainly can live with the current ones extremes, but I can’t see how adding customized profiles with save option could be too difficult? Even one savable custom “preset” would be great, but I guess some people would appreciate it, if there were room in their bags for a few more

Seems to me, that now, if you want to get even your once per day maw, you need to stand around waiting for an hour, because if you’re not there, you won’t be there on time, as it seems, that not only is the event now much rarer, but it also happens faster. For example, day before yesterday, I ran from Twinspur when the pre-event started, and managed to get there by the time totem was going down, and all in all managed to get two silvers, when usually getting all gold used to be easy.

Yes, I’ve also noticed the tendency for it being hard to get back in time to the champion from killing the portals. And if you’re anywhere outside the event area or not paying attention to when the pre-events start, you’re practically out for what, another hour or two?

I’m such a new player that I don’t know the history of the event chests or their problematics, but if it’s now once per day per account to prevent farming, couldn’t the event happen a bit more often, or at least more predictably, and also last longer, so that getting to it wouldn’t require standing on the lake doing nothing but waiting for it to start, wasting easily an hour of play time?

Maybe the event (chain) could be timed to last longer (even like 10 minutes?), be more predictable (something like 10-15 min randomness instead of an hour?) Or at least lengthen the boss-fight, perhaps add a pause in the boss fight for additional monologue, or add delay from the portals to the time the boss becomes vulnerable?

Dukemarz, I assume getting those two (the skill challenge and the Warmspring POI) have not changed by Cragstead. Not saying why to not make any spoilers for those who want to explore their way to them, but if you’ve done them before, you might remember why.

The new POI (Rugnar’s Steading) is also achievable without doing the instance.
