Guild Wars 2

cpg.7140:

They seem pretty strongly in favor of grinding when it comes to cosmetics (for better or worse). You can get equivalent gear for gold or karma that just doesn’t have those specific looks. In terms of functionality that level of grinding isn’t required.

so the only reward you get from dungeons are cosmetics?

Behellagh.1468:

Each dungeon’s “currency” is unique and can only be used to buy gear from that dungeon. There is no way to trade or use other currencies so yes, you have to run AC over and over to get enough to buy that set.

Note they are also used to craft items needed to craft legendary weapons.

So the only way is to grind the same dungeon. I though gw2 was against grinding.
well thanks for reply.

Hello. I got my first character to 80 and I still don’t understand how gearing up works in this game. I know I get rewarded currencies when I complete a dungeon that can be spent on buying armor from that specific dungeon. So If I want to get a set from ascalon catacombs I have to do ascalon catacombs over and over again before I get enough to buy armor set? Is it possible to trade currencies, like trading CoF currencies for Arah currencies?

If they are listening they would already brought this unpolished software back to beta.

Yes, it sucks and there is 90% chance it will never be fixed. Before I bought this game I checked the website and asked 100 times if they offer a free trial or some kind of demo version to see how It will perform on my PC but nope they were just like buy this game and if you dont like it screw you.

Old CPU, old GPU, and even low RAM. Honestly, I’m surprised it gets 30-40 FPS. You don’t have problems with Out of Memory errors and crashing?

No crashing, only frustrating low fps in WvW, and why would RAM effect my fps?

Evrae Altana.1295:

how much is your fps and what settings do you play on?
not to mention that GW2 has some performance eating features like anti aliasing, post processing effects and shadows which take alot of power
if you turn those to a lower setting or off you might gain some fps

Its always around 30-40 FPS when walking, it doesent matter if I set on highest or lowest settings. And WvW is unplayable, below 15 fps.

Processor: AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5600+, MMX, 3DNow (2 CPUs), 2,91GHz, 2GB RAM

Card name: NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GT

I know its a bit old but I dont want to upgrade anything if this is optimization problem.

A bit of improvement in performance when soloing. Large PVE events and WvW still unplayable.
