Guild Wars 2

Just weighing in with the same problems and trying to work out how to fix this issue.
I’ve tried setting everything to the most basic settings which usually fixes my fps issues but nothing I’ve tried seems to be working this time around.

EDIT:
A friend recommended turning off the content guide under settings, this fixed the problem oddly enough!

When I participated in the stress test it was pretty ‘up to the wire’ while I was waiting for a beta slot to appear on my select screen.
Just keep checking closer to the time, so in the next hour or so. Fingers crossed for you!

I’ve had to log in and throw my feelings in to this discussion, my first post is one of general distress!

I don’t like this new system.
This isn’t an ‘oh no something NEW and DIFFERENT this can’t be a good thing’ reaction which I’ve initially responded to before playing through some of the previous tweaks, but I can’t get my head around this change to gem conversions.
I buy gems here and there when new things are released that I want, I don’t tend to spend them all in one lump and when I have a few laying around on my account and I see something else I want I just top them up rather than have to go through the hoops of buying another lump of gems. This completely takes away my ability to top up by maybe five gems, or even one or two here and there?
While I can appreciate that the conversions could be a bit confusing at first but really? It’s not that terrible to work out if you just sit and have a good look at it for a while?
We have managed just fine for the last couple of years without needing our hands held!
