Guild Wars 2

How does the 2nd pc handle other games? Any seem out of the ordinary from how they played previously?

Not really. Most games played on the second computer are Dota 2, Civ 5 and TES:Online and they all run great. TES needs to be run at mid settings, but then it’s perfectly fine and nearly never drops below 25 FPS, averaging at 40 FPS while questing among other players.

I have problems to. Sometimes i get like 2x lower fps than i should. Also happens in other games.

Do you use win 8.1?

Nope. Thought about upgrading to 8.1 to see if it helps, but currently I’m running 8.

Hey guys,

I’ve read quite a lot of stuff and I have no clue what else to do. After coming back from a months long break the performance of GW2 seems to be horrible on one of two computers.

The first one: i5-3570k@stock and a Radeon HD 7870. The game runs at 1920×1080, all settings maxed including supersampling and I get 60 fps when standing still and sometimes drops to 50 in Hoelbrak with quite some players around me. Didn’t test bigger fights but that’s also not my issue.

The second one: i5-4570@stock and a Radeon HD 6770. Now, the CPU is slightly faster but the graphics card is a lot slower. Still, I’d expect it to be playable. However even with all settings lowest, including subsampling, I can’t get over 25 FPS, most time dipping down to 15. It’s really NOT playable.

Running windows 8 on both machines. All drivers are up to date, windows updates done and there are no overheating issues. GPU-Z shows that the GPU gets utilized properly.

Any ideas/settings/config stuff that I could try to figure out the issue? The game did run fine @mid settings on that computer some months ago :/

You don’t get blocked for saying it two times in 5 minutes. Simple.
I’ve never had problems searching and I’ve shouted enough…

I just got thru a misson where I was sometimes in water and sometimes out. Using grenades in water is gravy and in my opinion a little OP- not that I’m complaining.
But having to move between water and land with grenades is just difficult.
Going from an auto-target to a ground target is silly.
If they are ground targeted for balance, then I suggest change them to how water battle works and find another avenue for balancing.

In short: No skill (or set of skills) should function differently based on terrain.

Sorry but that’s total gibberish. Since you simply CAN’T (CAN’T (CAN’T)) target the ground underwater it’s impossible to not change skills underwarter unless you remove ALL ground targeted spells. Please, just think a second before you post complete nonsense.

It was said from the beginning that there is no progress in GW2 as gear is semi relevant. Did you even read some information before buying it?

If the current dungeons, events, WvWvW and PvP don’t offer enough for you, it realy seem to be the wrong game for you. The concept for itself is completly “perfect”. However, the style is very different. This is not a classical MMO. You can easily see that this won’t change. GW1 survived without a long progress and with this simple PvP. GW2 feels like a mix out of an MMO and a shooter. No long progress and you have to like this to like the game.

So the fix for a class you don’t like is to make them like another class?
Ugh. No, no pets needed. If I want pets I simply play a ranger…

Or the “simple” reason is just wrong. There was ABSOLUTLY NO difference between classic/bc and the following addons regarding the stuff you could do. Flying mounts already made the world empty. Then the LFG tool came and whiped the rest of the community back into the cities. It’s funny that although nothing changed, the tool that allows you to ignore searching for groups, made you sit in town because there was nothing to do. Travelling around was quite funny. Although traveling alone wasn’t that amusing and the open pvp was a big part of it, GW2 offers the same in the form of events. If you stood hours in town doing nothing but shouting you did quite a lot wrong. The world (of warcraft) is dead. The world is empty although nothing changed regarding content. Yeah, the timing with the LFG tool is totaly random.

I’ve played WoW for over 6 years. The argument is the simple truth.

Dungeons start being ok as soon as guys STOP thinking their 20 year experience does help you at all in GW2.
This system requires a good teamwork, tactics and stuff.
Something that most MMOs are heavily lacking due to heaving one part removed by the tank/heal/dd groups.

If you think the LFG did not destroy WoW… no.
I can’t even think of something for you because you can’t be more wrong. Just the same as flying mounts and stuff. This is a game around a WORLD. No need to idle around in town and use porting tools.
[x] Vote on removing the WvWvW tool and let them walk.
