don’t chirp my cpu dude when their min requirements is AMD Athlon™64 X2, I just compared the to

http://www.cpu-world.com/Compare/904/AMD_A8-Series_for_Notebooks_A8-5550M_vs_AMD_Athlon_64_X2_for_Notebooks_L310.html

as I said, it blows the min requirements out of the water, which makes no sense as to why im getting 2-10 fps on the lowest settings,

just cause your cpu is better doesn’t mean mine should be running like crap >_>

I just recently purchased this laptop,

Lenovo IdeaPad G505s Essentials Slim Notebook 59373006
- 15.6" AMD Richland A8-5550M 4GB 500GB HDD
- AMD Radeon HD 8550G DVDRW HDMI Win 8

The specs blew the min requirements for this game out of the water but for whatever reason i’m only getting between 2-10 fps in a combat area, nothing massive like WvW, just random events. About 15-25 fps standing around with nothing around me, this is all on the LOWEST settings.

I was wondering if there was anything I could to to increase my FPS. Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know how to report abuse in this game? All i see is bug reports.

I was ejected from a dungeon once the end boss was at 25% from some guy who will remain unnamed and unaccountable for his actions (your welcome mods)

Later he starting putting my name in for the LFG system trolling me by getting people to join an Arah 3 group? Ill attach the pic below.

— From what it seems (due to all the warnings i’ve been getting), this is ok behavior in guildwars2. Any direction would be appreciated

2 diff scenarios sorry, the time 4 of us were chasing swinging wildly happened before the 8v2. I just sat back and watched the 8v2 cause clearly im a bad. I dont know how to play,. My meta skills that are terrible thats why thieves seem so broken… >_>

When i saw 2 thieves downing my faction members and the commander trying to pull the zerg away it became pretty clear you guys are just lying to defend your class.

When i 1v1’d that thief i downed her “when she came at me” yes. I have full exotic gear with 3300 toughness 50% crit and 2900 Power. Pretty sure i just out geared her.

How many times do you figure she meets a guy that powerful? That she can’t drop? Probobly doesn’t happen too often i’d say by the way she struts around fearless of zergs. Why should she be afraid? She wont die.

Two people fought yes, only the thief controls when it happens, where it happens, and when she wants it to stop. I have no say in the matter and am just there for the ride. If i tried to run she could easily catch, if i try to chase, she easily eludes. Theres no punishment for her making a bad call. No risk. No balance.

There are other games out there guys where the stealthy class only gets 1 maybe 2 stealths and are just as squishy. They have to pick their targets carefully and execute them quickly or else they get killed. It’s more of an art and im sure gw2 thieves would fall flat on their faces.

Thieves should be more than spam invis and rely on lag so their character doesn’t load to win fights IMO. Just sayin’

As for the people saying im just QQing and being outplayed. Once again some stupid chick Thief from the guild Noir on Devonas Rest is just killing people. Whoever she likes. Its not me getting outplayed theres 8 people here vs 2 thieves and nobody can get a kill. Once they down anyone they safeguard/finish. The Commanders pulled the zergs off of them cause we couldnt kill them.

CHEESIEST CLASS IN THE GAME

I know you want to defend your cheap kitten class but its undeniably easy. Assassin classes are suppost to be high risk, high reward. Where the kitten is the risk. They dont even run away when the zerg shows up. They keep their distance and linger like vultures. Heaven forbid they have a gear advantage vs anyone.

Theres no outplaying them. Invis, Invis, Invis, Invis. 4 of us doing that other guys strat of swinging wildly to no success at all. Cause you have to be directly ontop of them when they stealth to have a chance at that but you cant because they dodge roll caltrops to slow or shadow step or steal to something. They make sure your not in melee range when they go in stealth. Wow. Talent.

I’ve played 15 different MMO’s and MMO’s in general for like 10 years. this is too 1 sided. There shouldnt be a class that can freely dance around all the other professions in the game.
Too easy.

….Currently, I have to use my gap closers once she on the map again. Then she uses hers to get away …

Sounds like you were stalking someone, which is probably a violation of the game’s TOS. And you have the nerve to complain here that your victim managed to get away.

A fight broke out, she ran/I chased. and im in violation of the terms of service? /Slap

I like how im being told what went down by a person who wasnt there and is basing their information on assumptions.

1 – No bow, stated that.
2 -All i know is she kept going stealth, and when she’d appear id close in on her and i’d try to #5 with the greatsword, easy dodge. So i had to feint it, didn’t matter, she’d go invis again.

Your saying it costs half your pool like its a big deal, you can use it 3 times if my math serves correctly cause you also gotta count the time stealthed where your getting initiative back. Not like it would be hard to buy another second or 2 with a dodge roll + caltops either. That one ability sounds like it could single handidly get you out of a lot of kitten if neccesary ( as it did earlier today im sure ). Don’t worry though, you’ve brought 3 more abilities to fill in the gaps when you flub it up somehow. What a ninja.

Thats besides the fact that there is a whole slew of ways to regain your initiative in your traits.
3 -Swinging wildly hoping to hit an invisible person. Good strat. I don’t doubt it’s validity, just rediculous what your resorted to. What I want is a mechanic for people who say, got knocked down while the person is in stealth or maybe they are crippled and are not in immediate melee range to capitalize on your strategy. Some signal to keep an eye open for.
4 -Yep, you tell me what happened. >_>

I didn’t immediatly finish her cause she was invisible when she went down. I thought dmg revealed stealthed people, maybe dots dont? Then again i hit her pretty recently, Didn’t see her. Thats all.

Then she appeared out in the open by some water at 90-95%. I didn’t miss her, I checked there 3 or 4 times prior, she either wasnt loaded or was already stealthed. I judges interventioned over to her and she disapeared. No partical effects which is why im guessing she got up and WP’d out.

By the way, i don’t ever “Finish” Thieves, i beat the life out of them while they lay on the ground. It’s easier. For me atleast.

Your “locked target” is a moot point as I wouldn’t have gotter her to a downed state if she had a clue and didn’t all in me randomly, but thank you for sharing.

Cheesiest class in the game for PvP.

Not 30 minutes ago i chased a Thief for 10-15 mins (ima Guard). catching her skirmishing over and over again. I’d win the skirmishes, shed smoke bomb, use her safe house or whatever these abilities are. She had about 3-5 ways to go into stealth or displace herself without a short bow. Basicly pressing her, “I dont lose ever” buttons and walking away, stalling for her HP to regen or her heal to come back up.

I don’t think Thieves should regen while stealthed. It’s being abused. Or the timer for being in combat shouldnt run out while in stealth because them maintaining stealth is for a combat reason.

-Note, at any point in time she could stall like this and WP away from a bad engagement. No skill required.

How is this fun or fair for the opposition? The ammount of skill it takes to press your invisibility button is quite low, while you could argue theres not much you can do to ensure a kill on a good thief.

Stealth is super strong in every MMO it comes out with. The ability to pick and chose who and when you fight, and also when you pull out of combat is incredibly powerful. Where is the balance? This is next gen gaming right? Why is this still an issue? Deminishing returns on stealth, slow their movespeed significantly, nerf the ammount of ways they can aquire it.

Or maybe melees should have a way to see stealth or atleast get a hint at which way shes going briefly. Going invisible in plain sight 2 inches infront of a guy hammering on you is pretty rediculous.

Currently, I have to use my gap closers once she on the map again. Then she uses hers to get away and stall for her cooldowns to run even more. How fun. Good job designing this. This must be intended, cause even in theorycrafting you could tell this was the end result.

I did get her down though, cause she engaged again for no real reason. Thats another issue. For “balance” purposes, you should be able to outplay your opponent OR Capitalize on their mistakes.

Theres no way for me to outplay someone who is this elusive. I have to wait for her to slip up (a smart thief wouldnt) and THEN i get to have a chance. Thats dumb. This class should require finess not just button mashing to spam invis when real competition comes along.

Anyway, once downed guess what she did. She stealthed away again. Didn’t reappear until she was healed about 90-95%, I judges interventioned over, too late, she disapeared. Didn’t catch her the last time, had no idea where she went. I think she WP’d away. This was an issue that they said they would fix back in the freaking Beta. Do you all play Thieves? wtf.

After catching this stupid person who cant fight or pvp worth a kitten about 8 times or more, she gets away. Thanks. I deserved it I guess right? For daring to fight a Thief at any particular skill level?

Cheesiest class in the game for PvP

Im never going to pvp in any form ever again. Your game is good. Your PvP sucks. Just because i don’t like being the pansy who stabs people in the back, i don’t get a fair chance at a fight. Thanks for punishing me
