Guild Wars 2

I’m only using 3-4 GB/16 GB and I’m having the FPS/ping issue too. I haven’t used my second machine, a new notebook but with integrated graphics, an i7 CPU and 16 GB RAM for about 2 weeks. I normally never get below 30 FPS on that one under non-crowded open world play. I went to the Draconis Mons Flax farm, and on the way there on the map, several times, my ping shot up to 500-3000 and at the same time I experienced a drop from 30-40 FPS to 0-5 FPS. Now, obviously, this is not the result of a DDoS attack, given the FPS drop. Obviously, something is making the game perform poorly and become functionally unplayable. I know the issues on my main machine, GTX970 graphics but only 8 GB RAM, started roughly the time of the Trading Post UI revamp, so I’m wondering if something in that code is causing the issue (obviously just idle speculation on my part). On my main machine I haven’t been checking the FPS, but I have noticed ping spikes to 500+ periodically, although not as often as last night. I definitely have decided to forego any of the more serious game modes, ones that I rarely play anyway, until the issue is resolved.
