Speak out against the no skill no effort low intelligence meta and the pro meta users are going to troll you.
Smooth as butter is very relative and your experience sounds very anecdotal. It might work “fine” (if you are happy with sub 60 fps) in areas with no players because rendering players is what causes the most CPU stress in GW2.
FX CPUs were garbage bin tier when they were released 5-6 years ago and still are now. A Ryzen or any Intel Core CPU from the last 6 years @ 3 GHz will easily beat a FX-8350@5 GHz in gaming. They are not even real 8 cores, more like 4 cores with two integer units each.
You get what you paid for. Buy cheap, get trash.
Getting way off topic here. It doesn’t matter the cpu’s that are considered “trash” according to benchmarks. The topic is the optimization of this game. If this game were optimized it wouldn’t matter if its an fx or ryzen or intel. Everybody says they have to have the latest greatest thing for gaming and its ridiculous nonsense started by the manufacturers and so many fall for it like obedient rats.
Every other game in existence runs perfectly smooth with very very high fps even gfx intense games like Skyforge, GTAV and others. GW2 is the only game where there are issues.
We aren’t here to argue about the best cpu’s or w/e we are here to discuss the optimization of this game.
Which AMD 8 core? I hope it is not anything less than a Ryzen @ 4 GHz, because GW2 needs strong single core performance.
Because I am using a 10 year old nvidia graphics card (9600 GT) at the moment and it has no problem setting textures and some other stuff to high. And your 1050 GTX is lightyears better.
It’s not Ryzen it’s FX series but its 4ghz I think I can oc to 4.7 according to advertised specs but not going to lessen the life of the cpu. and yes the 1050 has no issues in pve. but in wvw performance is really low. I’m not a fan of intel so im not going to switch just for gw2. Every other game in existence I can stream at 1080p all high or ultra high settings and still have high fps. but gw2 im lucky to get any kind of performance.
The problem consists of 2 factors. The archaic engine gw2 is built on and bottlenecking in wvw which is server side issue.
1) YES
2) Expansion More Important
AMD 8 Core CPU GTX 1050 and I still have to set shaders to low and textures to low and postprocessing to low Char Model Limit to low and others just to get 30 fps in populated areas. Instances and dead maps I get well over 100-200.
I understand its a fresh install but maybe do a repair on the client?
I repaired the client twice
I’ve noticed lately since I reinstalled my OS After getting new cpu gpu mobo etc and new install of GW2 that I can no longer see the CD on towers and camps.
For example: If the camp Vale gets capped and I hover over the camp I can’t see the cd timer. Same as with towers.
Did Anet remove this feature? If so, can somebody recommend a good overlay?
this isnt eso or dark souls. quit trying to make gw2 like other games. that the reason why gw2 is dying in the first place
If it’s just you on an ac in a tower against a zerg, the outcome would’ve been the same no matter what you did.
How rich coming from a maguuma resident,when your VR guild been exploiting this non stop.
The outcome may been the same,but the effort of a smaller group to stall shouldnt be denied by a passive exploit that brings absolutely no skill play into the table.
Zero skill,zero strategy and zero ethics.
And worse of all,zero investment and zero personal effort.
And lets not forget the times when people didnt use the direct dmg components of the siege,it ended up with VR glitching through the gates (anz rings a bell for the last 500 match ups?).
Because god forbid an outmanned server stalls for 10 seconds more ,even with an hour of proactive building and carefull placement.
Well said
Anet said a few years ago that they would bring polymock back. Never heard a thing about it since.
Why do conditions do damage through blocks?
Why do conditions do damage through invulnerables?
Why isn’t condition damage affected by weakness?
Why does chill has to be both -66% skill recharge rate and -66% movement rate? when cripple and immobilize already exist.. why can’t chill just be -66% skill recharge rate?
Because anet made this game toxic. And it’s only toxic players that enjoy playing this game.
Its a shout not an aoe or projectile. Its something thats supposed to be heard. If there has to be a counter to shouts than it should be something makes the player invulnerable to enemy shouts.
Besides most shouts are for the player to add boons to themselves. There aren’t many shouts that cause damage. Its the fault of anet making this game toxic that shouts have damage.
Yes, please anet nerf all these builds exploiting your lack of being able to program with clairvoyance on knowing everything you do will get abused.
Is that the idea? Throw more rewards and shiny things at new and veteran players so hopefully nobody notices how this mode still has zero balance? How can you have a competitive game mode with the current state of balance? Rewards are great, but the power creep has gotten absurd. You do realize that there are many who have quit over the past year because the skill floor in the game has gotten to absolute zero right?
Failure to address the horrible balancing in the game mode will render the good will of trying to breathe new life into the game mode pointless. The short term excitement will revert back to the same old drab story about how awful it is to PvP in this game. I commend your efforts for trying to make WvW desirable. However, you have got to start balancing this mode. A start would be designating WvW as a separate balancing over the other modes.
I left about three months ago and as exciting as it is to see this new patch, I will not even bother coming back to the same old cheesy, low skill, low risk high reward combat that you have turned PvP into. I will be watching to see if balancing is addressed into the future.
This is greatly worded and basically what everyone with like minds are thinking. The only problem is that anet will not read it and will ignore it cuz it goes against what they believe. Its like telling the wind how to solve world hunger and expecting change. Its not going to happen. We shouldn’t have to wait for expansions to balance a game that’s needed balance since day 1. And if the only balance comes in the form of expansions then anet would be no better than the cashgrab companies out there putting out 5 mmo’s a year.
I think you forgot to mention the only players having fun with this stupid update are the blobbers running over less populated servers. We’re right back to the same situation before linking. Why anybody can find this grind fun is beyond me.
I can also honestly say (aside from the newfound lag) that I am enjoying this update and I havent been in any blob or zerg (although ive been saved by our zerg on more than 1 occasion due to the population explosion on other servers that have a natural high population that suddenly joined WvW).
Mind you I an a thief main atm and when I see a blob, its always “go for the tail” and win. I LOVE PPKs over PPT’s (although I will always look for situations where both apply). This update makes it a PPK’ers paradise if you know how to roam smart.
What’s up MC.
Yeah you prob have more fun cuz you main thief. I main necro. I don’t have the escapability if I need it so It’s way harder for me. It used to be I could roam around and get fights without being stupidly outnumbered. Now its nothing but blobs and boring.
something that discourages blobbing and people are complaining? typical. this is a great mechanic and it should stay as is. rewards people for doing other things than running around in a group of 80 spamming 1. bravo anet.
What’s up Fatalis.
It is a mechanic to get players to stop blobbing except that it only works for a few and the ones that are in the 50+ man blobs don’t care cuz they are getting pips really easy without having to fight other zergs.
Anet move the pip system to eotm. You are utterly ruining wvw even more than when you released HoT. Let the blobbers and ktrainers go to eotm and grind there. Real wvw isn’t a place for that. The only players that are having fun are the players that have 50+ man blobs on every map and are able to just run over everybody else and PPT.
But hey if you were trying to turn real wvw into eotm you did it, good job. Now you can shut down the eotm maps to save money for your dying game.

Nah anet lower the requirements for everything. Get them pvers out of wvw. They are ruining it. Real wvw players are leaving and when the pvers get the new shiny thing they will leave too and wvw will be dead. Gotta have the latest greatest am i right? Lower the requirements and destroy your own game even more. thank you
Lol Mea is trying to protect her/his farm.
Went to kill some horsemen and was greeted with this. Seriously, this is plain smh status.

The person started the stomp before I was up again. Which should’ve reset it. Or were you all going to ignore that?
You seem to not understand how stomping works. It doesn’t really matter when how or why he began stomping, what matters is that he finished the stomp within range of you while you were downed.
Should stomping work like that? That’s up to debate. Feel free to suggest to Anet how to rework it, all players have the freedom to provide suggestions and feedback. But at this very moment, the stomping funcionality works EXACTLY the way it was intended to, because the devs programmed it this way.
Actually, when I rallied the stomp should’ve reset. The stomp is not working EXACTLY the way it is intended. So it’s obv you don’t seem to know how stomping works.

I don’t see why anybody would find the farm even remotely useful. Having over 300% magic find I still get minimal leather the times i’ve been there. But some people just like to grind and do the same thing repeatedly. To them its fun.
Figures all the condi spammers would have an issue with this.
As I said earlier, only those players that enjoy making this game unenjoyable for others are going to say anything against it. And ofc those that live on the forums are going say anything cuz they feel the need to be seen.
I rest my case ^^^^
Its easy to tell who those particular players are that enjoy making the game less enjoyable for other players by the comments.
I also love the assumptions made by the ones leaving comments. w/e
Thank goodness you have self appointed yourself as spokesperson for all of us WvW players. I must have been out when you contacted me to confirm that I still play to make it horrible for other players. Plus thank you for pointing out that my guild is not playing to have a good time, but instead playing to cause grief for others. kitten them to hell!
The truth is out there.
Funny you use what everybody else in the world has already said about everything and everybody else.
But regardless of your reinteration of quotes already said, if you would’ve actually understood what I said, I said “its full of players trying to hold on for lack of another wvw game. and the players….”
which one are you? the ones trying to have a good time and holding on or the ones making wvw unenjoyable for those trying to have a good time?
Since the release of HoT masses of skilled players and guilds have left gw2. Everyday gw2 loses more and more wvw players. All that is left is the players trying to hang on for lack of another game like wvw. And players and guilds that strive to do nothing but make the wvw experience as unpleasant as possible for other players. WvW is no longer fun for anybody except those type of people that find it enjoyable to make playing unenjoyable for other players.
It’s just time for anet to cut their losses and shut wvw down for good. With there not being a skill balance coming any time soon its a lost cause to keep it up and im sure the upkeep cost isn’t worth it.
Yeah anet this is just ridiculous. You keep saying over and over that you are taking the grind out of mmo’s but yet everything you do involves grinding esp if you need to craft some gear. and 100 gold is just the lower end depending on what traits you want.
When are you going to actually fix the game instead of continuously killing it?
I’d sure like to use this tonic in wvw. And because you can’t only makes me think that maybe it does make the hitbox smaller.
She does all that stuff when you log out.
This is a good plausible explanation, but our characters are controlled by us. They have no independent movement or thought etc. So this can’t be done unless anet has created a bot to do this for us while we are logged out.
If you’re going to play that card, then — since the characters have no existence independent of our playing them — they are puppets, not people. Puppets need not eat, sleep or excrete.
was wondering if anyone was going to say this. lol didn’t take long at all. thought it would take a cpl pages.
Anet does allow multi-boxing as long as each character is played independent of each other. i.e. when one character does one action the character on another account doesnt do the same. they have to be played separately.
Also exploits are sent to exploits@arena.net

Lately over the past week or so I’ve been getting some horrible lag in WvW. The lag is skill lag & map rendering but my pings are in the 60’s – 80’s. My fps remains from 50’s-90’s depending on situation. I understand this will happen during high skill activation times and big fights but even during those fights my fps remains around 30+ and my ping stays pretty low around 80. But yet it feels like my ping is in the thousands. Rubber-banding and the like. It may have been longer than a week maybe 3 or so.
WTF is going on?
EDIT: I forgot to add the random disconnects when everything else connected to the inet have absolutely no issues.

The question doesn’t make sense. GW2 is a simulation of what life might be like in a fantasy universe; it’s a game and, like all games, the devs make choices of what to include based on what’s fun, not what’s most realistic. There are tons of anachronisms and inconsistencies compared to our real lives. You can get up to six different sorts of herbs from the same plant in Tyria; not so in real life. Things on fire don’t burn nearby things, as they do in real life. And, of course, we don’t see everything that our characters get up to during their lives, including sitting down to a meal.
In short, it’s a game.
And you take life way too literal and serious.
My character has been alive since launch. I have yet to see her eat, sleep, drink, urinate, or defecate. How is my character still alive anet? HOW?
That is because you’re a silvary.
Sylvari? Actually I have all races and have the same question for each one. If you’re refering to the name, I have a nocturnallunacy on 3 different accounts. a human, a sylvari and an asura.
The “200+li arcdps or kick” group is so sick of grinding raids that they just want their loot, as fast as possible. For them, there’s no room for a minute’s delay within the raid, even though they’ll wait an extra 15 for someone who fits their elitist description. They no longer want to explain fights, entitled to the belief that YouTube should be everyone’s mentor, instead of having a copy-paste set of instructions that could easily be used. That’s not the GW2 most of us know.
You must not have ever been in WvW. metabattle.com is the worst thing to happen to this game besides the implementation of overpowered conditions and the removal of a skill based game.
I was told that Tyria is flat and hollow and the moon is a hologram and Tyrians are just creations of aliens to be used as slaves and studied.
First logic is a flat Tyria can’t be hollow at the same time.
Anyway, comments and discussion please.
Because magic ofc!
Also nobody urinates in the world of tyria..did you see any toilets around?
IKR how is this sustainable?
I used to love this game with a passion up until hot release. The game went a completely different direction some loved some hated. Truth is we just need to wait for next expansion and see what we get. I just hope they stop wasting time on raids for such a small player base. Anyone who actually plays this game for raids is simply wrong because if you like raids you should be playing WoW or ff14. We need better content for people who left those games or don’t play those games to not have the companies dedication going three
Exactly what I’ve been saying for a long time. Need something unique to gw2. Not crap that’s been taken from other mmo’s. If i wanted to raid or w/e I’d go play wow or some other grind game. The only thing gw2 has going for it that no other mmo had is WvW. and anet is completely ignoring wvw now and other games are coming up with the same thing. all its going ot take is a game to come out with something completely unique and gw2 is dead.
My character has been alive since launch. I have yet to see her eat, sleep, drink, urinate, or defecate. How is my character still alive anet? HOW?
Please please please make a greatsword skin that looks like a scythe. A staff scythe doesn’t fit.
The only problem would be, because of the way characters swing greatswords, you’d be hitting your foes with the back of the scythe shaft half the time.
They could make it “backwards” then
Or make a it a double bladed scythe
Please please please make a greatsword skin that looks like a scythe. A staff scythe doesn’t fit.
The only other conclusion is a piece of gear being bugged and not adding to the overall stats. They’ve done a lot of changes as far as backpieces and maybe they broke them.
Are you sure it’s not because of the WvW reset, resetting the Power of the Mists bonus we get in PvE and WvW? Specifically the Robust % buff (increase maximum HP by upto 10%)?
You can read about it here.
With all my gear on it used to be 26k hp. Before the wvw buff. And I think they stopped the wvw buffs from working in pve a while ago im not sure. But now it’s 24k. With the wvw buffs it would be 29k hp. Now it only gets up to 26k.
I had to change the name of my mesmer 3 times. Xxx Dominatrix Xxx – Dominaetrixx – Xxdominate Rixx were all unacceptable in gw2 apparantly. Even tho that what my mesmers names were in gw1 for like 7 yrs without issue.
Eventually I just named her Anet Hates Me
Okay so logging into gw2 last night and I noticed my hp being 2k lower than what it used to be. I looked to make sure I had all my gear on which I did. Then I noticed as I hovered over my armor that the numbers weren’t exactly right.
So I asked in chat if Marauder’s had been nerfed and got the response that it had been ninja nerfed. I haven’t found anything about it in the updates but there it is, plain to see.
Okay you want to ninja nerf Marauder’s, fine. BUT WHY HAVEN’T YOU YET NERFED THE CONDIS? AND YOUR BOON SHARE NERF DID NOTHING TO IT.
Anet destroying their own game on a constant downward spiral. It’s almost as if they have the self destructive syndrome.
