Guild Wars 2

Is DSL your only option where you live? I would consider switching providers if you have the option. I am fortunate and have 100 Mbs connection where I live, life is so much easier. How far away are you from the CO?

I agree, I want to do WvW badly but my pc as it stands right now can only handle PVE.

In my case the my CPU and Mobo are fairly old for this type of game. I was able to play Diablo 3 with no problems no lag at all but it was mostly single player.

I have a great video card, graphics look great, I just want to be able to WvW at more than a frame per second, half the time right now it take a few minutes before I even see the opponents lol.

Thanks for all the great replies, and yes I know you can technically spend thousands on hardware, I basically was looking for answers from people who upgraded their own CPU recently and has success in WvW. I am not rich, but I can easily spend more than a 1000 as I will be upgrading for the next few years, I do this about every 3 years, and even with all the reading about the MOBO/CPU and chipset, its nice to have real feedback from User that have bought and tested it in a gaming environment.

Thanks again for some of the tips

My Rig is pretty old about 5 years, and GW2 made me realize I need some upgrades.

The one thing I need most is a good MOBO/CPU combo. I recently bought a Geforce GTX 550 TI. and I can run GW in Pve Mode on high graphics with little to no lag with my Pentium 4 , running with 4 gigs of DDR2. Again my machine is older lol.

However WvW is a nightmare, I can run through the zone until any pvp action starts, then my frame rate plummets and I dont even see the enemy lol.

Budget is not a problem. So those of you who have Rigs that perform well , please let me know what your using. I am going to NewEgg more than likely to start shopping soon.

Thanks for any advice.

Im on the Blackgate server, my friends that play really dont play often enough to WvW or group in PVE dungeons.

I am 400 in Huntsman and Leatherworking, full exotic gear

I am on Eastern Standard time, and I usually play from 8PM EST and on.

Looking for an active guild with members that actually play that just want to have fun and do a little of everything.
