Guild Wars 2

So after doing some testing. I kept all the settings at max and turned down the resolution to the lowest it can go and getting really crappy FPS still (23fps idle). I think I did better at 1920×1080p….. This is just sad but what can you do about it? All I know you have to have a beast of a system to get proper 60fps in it. Ok maybe I didn’t do better at 1080 but the difference is only 4-5fps. Which is nothing really.

So yea… The bottom line is the game is definitely poorly optimized. My system is probably crawl once I get in to massive pvp fights or dungeons. I wish it wasn’t like this but its just sad. Oh well I think I am done now.

Does the dev really know what he is talking about? I find it funny that he thinks running the game in window mode would be better than full screen. Truth is running any game in window mode uses more resources than in full screen.

I more than well meet the recommended specs. Infact I surpass them by a great deal and I get low fps. No matter what settings I tweak their is not little fps to gain. The biggest FPS killer is Super Sampling. Now turning that down to native give me like 6-7FPS increase. Going down to none from native is only like 2-3fps more if that.

Yea the game is pretty badly optimized. I should have no problems reach 60+fps all on highest settings with my system.

That’s the thing though. I was in town with no one else around when I tested this. When I move the camera around 360 degrees. I would get as low as 10fps. I don’t think its that optimized. As some of are saying that’s its more CPU intensive than GPU. I got a 4.5ghz quad core. You can’t get much better that.

Oh well. It was only a test and obviously my system has failed.

I swear this game is not the best looking compared to Far Cry 3, The Witcher 2 and BF3. I ran all those games better than this on max or to near max settings just fine at 1080P

My specs

I5 3570k 4.5ghz
HD Radeon 6950 2GB
8GB DDR 1600mhz

I have the game at settings all at the highest possible at 1080p. My idle fps as the camera is show the surrounding area is like 35. When its zoomed in on my character is like 45. Is this game REALLY that demanding? Or is it just badly optimized? My system should not have any problems with it. Can someone clear this up for me?

Thanks.

Oh wow OK. Thank you

Can any race be any class/profession? Do some races excel at certain professions better than others? I am trying to understand the purpose of them. Thanks

I see. I don’t know anything about this game. I played the first one for a while but this one seems nothing like it as its completely different. I can always transfer later anyways. I just mainly want to get started.

What the hell is a furry server? Anyways I was about to choose Shiverpeaks ironically enough. I guess I’ll continue with that one.

Interesting. It says if you wish to change your home world location you will need to PURCHASE a world transfer. This does not sound like its free to me. Or is this a mistake in the game’s part?

All those servers are full. Is it really woth it to join such a populated server? Is their wait times to join a full server after one has created a character on one? Is lag going to be a problem?

After 15 long hours I finally got the game. For American servers theirs not much left to choose from. Any suggestions?
