How is WvW population even calculated, im from JQ and there is hardly any people here.
Is there a way to keep me updated on the server’s fullness? so i can transfer immediately when its not full
I dont really want my friends to transfer out of that server since it will be a waste of money for them.
I really want to get into one of the servers that is full because all my friends are there. How do I transfer into a full server?
bump
i wanna know too
Specific Game Mode
WvW
Proposal Overview
Changing Signet of Beastmaster, Pets and Spirits
Goal of Proposal
My goal is to make Ranger a more viable class to play in WvW zerg fights.
Proposal Functionality
1st: Changing/Moving Signet of Beastmaster.
-Signet of Beastmaster being under Marksmanship is weird
-Moving Signet of Beastmaster to other traits or tier it down
Signet of Beastmaster is almost a MUST to get when a Ranger plans to play in the frontline of a zerg. But making Signet of Beastmaster Grandmaster tier makes Ranger less tanky as Marksmanship scale Power and Condition Duration. This cause Ranger to have less viable build for being in the frontline. If Signet of Beastmaster is tiered down, moved to other traits or removed (making all signet’s active affect the user too) it will open up a lot more different kind of builds viable for being in the frontline. Maybe changing Signet of Beastmaster to Nature Magic/Wilderness Survival Grandmaster tier(or lower) will be a better as both traits scale mainly defensive and Signet of Beastmaster are mainly used defensively.
2nd: Most pets are useless in zerg fights.
-Pet dies too quickly in zerg fights
-Pet F2 takes too long to cast
-Some pet F2 are useless
Pets in zerg fights are completely useless other than some (example moa for pre fight fury) as pets just die instantly under all those AOEs. Changing pets to scale with the User’s stats like having 50% of the User’s Stats will make the pets tankier and maybe even be useful in zerg fights. Making F2 cast time instant and changing some pet’s F2 skills to more useful effects (example boar’s F2 Forage changed to AoE knock down), will make pet choice to have more impact during a zerg fight.
3rd: Spirits.
-Spirits die quickly
-Cast time too long
-Change Spirits to Aura (unkillable but shorten effect time)
It have the same issue with pets. It die almost instantly in a zerg fight and it’s cast time is too long, allowing enemies to get out of the AoE before even hitting them (as most of the time zerg are constantly moving). Changing Spirits to something like an Aura will be great. Auras have all of the Spirits’ skills BUT it is like a “buff” and not a “pet”. But the effect time of Aura should be reduced to 1/3 of Spirits’ duration (60s) as Aura does not die. Like Spirits, after casting, it will be able to have active skills that are the same as Spirits BUT allowing the User to cast it while running. This will make Ranger a more supportive class in a zerg and this is an original concept (no other class have skills like this), so “Spirit” build might be viable in zerg.
Associated Risks
Currently I do not see any issue other than changing Signet of Beastmaster will affect many other traits too which might be complicated to balance.
lol… i guess i wasted money on getting that new laptop =(
i guess i have to stick with it then…
well thanks anyways guys i appreciate ur help =DNot necessarily, no processor currently can handle what GW2 demands. I think this is a problem of the game code rather than the CPUs since some games do run with 100+ players on screen. You couldn’t have spent your money any better if you needed to buy a laptop to begin with.
well thanks for sharing ur opinion with me.
well its true that i need a change of laptop (old laptop is 2years old)
thanks anyways =D

so… that is the highest fps it will ever go? even if i upgrade my laptop?
Shadows should also effect fps slightly. When a zerg veils into you anything that effect character models will drop your fps. That is 30 shadows that will pop up whenever a zerg appears. You can try to lower that setting.
but i already set it at best performance… so… its low already.
is there really no way to increase fps?
btw thanks for helping me out =D
Set model limit to low, quality to medium and render distance at low with everything else at high and you should be fine. Model limit is the most important setting in WvW. Rendering too many models will cause your GPU to go crazy. Especially since it’s a laptop GPU and has no good cooling system.
I run an older i7 2600k with a GTX 580 and have to use those settings to keep zerg fights playable and not crash my computer. I usually just use the “best performance” setting to make it easier for myself, changing back to auto-detect when I’m in PvE land.
i tried setting it on best performance but the fps is about the same as usual. is there any other factor that is affecting my fps?

may i know whats ur fps when u are zerg fighting? thanks for helping me [noted set all to best performance]
Hello guys, i recently got a new laptop which i planned to use for playing gw2.
So lets go straight to the point.
I have Nvidia Geforce GTX 765m, i7-4700MQ, 8GB ram.
During WvWvW, i set my graphics to best performance then set my character model and quality to medium.
When im alone with no one (at spawn), i get 70-100fps, but when im moving around with the zerg i get around 25-40 fps, when theres zerg fights i normally get 15-20 fps.
So i want to know what is affecting my fps? how can i improve it? thanks in advance for helping me find out how to improve my fps, i appreciate it a lot.
If u guys need more details about my laptop, feel free to ask me for more information. thanks again for helping me
Well I guess I will use engi then since it can support the zerg better than ranger, thanks for all the info guys much appreciate ur help =D
so are u saying ranger is more useful in wvw than engi?
I have been wondering ranger or engineer is better in T1 wvw zerg fights. I know that these 2 classes are at the bottom of the totem but its quite fun imo so i want to play these 2 classes (unless there are other fun classes that i dont know about… in this case please state the classes u recommend) and i like being in the frontlines too seeing all the action first hand is thrilling
Please state what u think about these 2 classes, what kind of build to use (dont have to be specific) and maybe state what do u wan these classes to do in zerg fights (ex. ranger entangle, engi water field)
Thanks in advance for helping me make such a weird decision =D
