Guild Wars 2

After some testing I found it to be a good idea for PvE to match Ventari with Mallyx (Salvation/Invocation/Corruption). Pairing this with Mace/Axe and apothecary gear (or also descent and much easier to get shaman) yields rather good results as each of them gets most of its available benefits (loosing the staff is a bit painful, but can be compensated). I have my support capacity I was targeting for, and at the same time dps that allow descent experience on other aspects of the game.

I tried earlier some power support builds, but they feel very wastefull (and tedious, no matter how I build – some aspects were always lacking “too much”)
Ones that seem reasonably viable, were either PvP builds or ones that require a descent group to take full benefit of.

This build is likely far from perfect for PvP though, but I think it is mostly overlooked because both Warrior and Guardian can do well in support role while still baseing their DPS on power, rather than some bigs problems with it…

Similar issue. After 23.02.2016 patching game there is a big slowdown of some kind, that is generally random (stuttering) and loosely connected to FPS.
I have done some tests since then:
– Processor at all scenarios (low to high) constant 20-30 proc. utilization, equal on all cores so it is not likey to be processor
– Graphic card is iddling, and when switching between higest to lowest settings, the stuttering-slowmo effect is barely affected (I would say 10-20%).
– Nothing wrong with my connection as well. Good ping, barly utilized.

- Other players – now here gets interesting, presence of other players nearby does not seem to have effect on slowmo-stuttaring higher that one that would come from corresponding graphic parameters increase. There is however one thing that have big impact on this: Time of the day / day of the week.
During times that servers are quite populated (distinguishable from internet peakhours and its network impact) game is unplayable.
During off hours, when game is basically empty – it is still noticable, but not to the level it would impact gameplay.

With everything going around it looks to me like this is something related to processing of network data on server, client or both. Security “feature” of some sort? Server performance?

Just to make it clear, MMO game that is not playable when there are other people playing it is not playable in general… Please fix it.

Ps. Not trying to be pushy, but many people will decide to wait it up, and the longer they wait the more difficult it will become bringing them back.

Thanks!
I was searching for threads like mine but couldn’t find anything.

Also, issue is back – tested everything and it is not my PC performance (all components are barely utilised regardless of settings). Just FYI – moving to the other thread.

Small update: it got slightly better recently (prior any patch I would notice being applied) so it could be related to server issue (or microsoft messing around with their background spying-patching).

Curiously, 64 bit client works noticably better (faster/more responsive), basically matching the state before the update, so I will use it instead – hopefully won’t get broken as the 32bit version did.

After today’s update my Guild Wars 2 client started to to suffer from weird performance issues.
Basically outside of flat fps drop (visible in option screen) to 30-80% of previous values there is a unusual delay (like I was streaming the game from other continent) but it is very inconsistent.

I tested my pc. Updated everything, but it had completely no effect on game’s behavious.

Hardware: AMD FX-6100/HD6850, 8GB RAM
OS: Windows 7/2008 64bit

Anyone else has similar experience or/and can advise?
