Nope this 6 year veteran of GW1 and of GW2 since launch would be gone in a heartbeat. The main appeals of GW is a great game without a subscription. If one of those two go away, I’m gone. It goes against everything this game stands for, they are already walking a fine line on the grind aspect, I sincerely hope that doesn’t go the wrong way either, toward more grind.
Do you have a PS2 controller configuration, the PS3 one is mapped to completely different buttons if you use it.
I had exactly the same problem, when I learned over the water at the bone ship 10FPS, when I turned around solid 60 with vsync.
I know I don’t have a screaming fast intel, but AMDs latest processors (FX 4170) should not perform this terrible in game.
I have been on the server Crystal desert since the start of GW2 and I realized I do not get any WvW server bonuses. They do not show up when I mouse over WvW in the top left, nor does my health change as a results of the robust bonus. Just wanted to make it known that I am another that has this problem.
Can condition damage really make up for lack of direct damage?

no. condition damage falls WAY behind direct damage.
Swap to a power/crit grenade build and suddenly, 5-6k grenade barrages, 1.2k grenade 1 which hits 3 times for 3.6k actual damage.
A 600/s burn does not compare to 7.2k/s grenades. Even if it goes full duration.
5-6k grenade barrages?
I’ve never even broke 3k with this skill using it point blank at an unmoving target. I have full 80 masterwork gear with power, precision, and crit damage. I know I’m not in exotics but can they really double my damage output? Maybe I’m specced wrong but I just can’t seem to get these kind of numbers.
This is gonna be a great game. I’m really looking forward to a fresh week of WvW and I’d like to thank everyone in this weeks thread for taking it as a friendly match. I will see you on the battlefield.

“5-6k grenade barrages”
Mine don’t seem to be anywhere near this powerful, am I missing something?
Also, I can’t seem to reproduce 4k hits using unload with my thief anymore, it was WvW and we may have had stonemist buffs, but that wouldn’t make that huge of a difference right? Now it seems my thief is hitting more like my engi, around 2k at most.

Hello everyone, I’ve been a lurker for awhile but after starting my thief alt, I had to make a post.
The highest number I’ve seen flash the screen while playing my engi in wvw direct damage has been around 1.5k with level 80 gear.
I took my thief into WvW in level 12 gear and right away I am hitting with unload for over 4k!
I’d heard about people critting for 7k but I thought they were just making it up, but this has really been an eye opener.
Are we really this underpowered or does condition damage close this giant gap?
