Guild Wars 2

Hold on a second. You can’t seriously be saying the low fps is because people are not meeting the minimum requirements here. The majority of people have been listing specs, and the fact that practically everyone runs poorly in wvw should tell you all you need to know.

In all honesty, the current minimum requirements are a farce. There’s no way anyone can get decent framerates with that hardware. For anyone unaware of the Minimum requirements, here you are:
Intel® Core 2 Duo 2.0 GHz, Core i3 OR AMD Athlon 64 X2, or better
NVIDIA® GeForce® 7800, ATI X1800, Intel HD 3000, or better (256 MB of video RAM and shader model 3.0 or better)
2 GB RAM
25 GB available HDD space
Windows® XP Service Pack 2 or better
Broadband Internet connection
Keyboard and mouse

If you’re going to sit there and honestly tell me that the minimum hardware at the moment can run the game with any decent fps, please provide proof. I will accept a screenshot or video of anyone willing to do so. In fact, i’d very much like to see anyone with this level of hardware show what kind of framerates they get in reality to prove this is bs.

Why won’t Anet at least comment on this? Seriously, if they’d just say we’re looking into it, instead of absolute silence i’d play in peace. But the fact that there’s been no word, speaks volumes of their customer service.

Don’t listen to people telling you to get a new computer. The game isn’t running as well as it should. As noted by numerous posts here in the tech forums, lots of people are having fps problems.

Please don’t post bs. The game just isn’t optimized as it should be. You should at no time feel obligated to buy new hardware just to play a game. As developers have noticed a long time ago, the majority of people do not play with the latest and greatest.

Yeah, this game definitely needs to be fixed on the fps. I’ve been playing various mmo’s now for 10 years and this is some of the worst frame rates i’ve seen. If you’re running top of the line hardware and still can’t get 30-60fps in pvp, it’s broke. Not to mention that means that everyone running on older hardware (which the vast majority do) are screwed. You should not be playing with a slideshow even at min specs.
