suggested benchmarking for reference

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

I am sure we have all heard the drop in fps rates complaints at the boss events. And now
with the upcoming video, camera and perspective changes, could the devs give us a system benchmark list? I would love to ensure my computer cannot only run the expansion but be upgraded to prevent the fps drop. By giving me a set of high, medium, and minimum system benchmarks I can determine if my system and what in my system needs upgrading .

I hate this change! I play about 2 to 3 hours in the evening and as much as possible on weekends. And yes mostly PVE. This now pulls players away from content areas to old areas. You get plenty of people participating first. But after that it peters out. Then it takes much longer to complete thus reducing my ability to enjoy the time I get to spend in game. It actually motivates me to spend less time playing I mean why bother when I am not having fun. When the new season of living story starts up I am going to have to put off playing until weekend just to make sure I have enough time for the dailies I wish instead they had filtered the options and cut extra points for going above and beyond In the old system. Sure remove gathering, salvaging, daily games and those types from the table and add specific zones if you want folk,s but leave enough I can still experience new content timely. Who is this aimed at attracting or repelling?

-1 for the suggestion, because it’s a disguised “we want trinity in GW2!”, and I hate trinity-based games. A pure tank would be 0 point in GW2, since he wouldn’t be able to control the boss’ focus anyway.

Sorry but you missed the point. It does work and yes you do damage but in a Group/party (gasp) you can also buff others and solo in PVE I can actually survive. It would actually work quite well in Orr and works fantastically in dungeon and WvW. Check out the guild VK domination running this on Fergs Crossing. It does not mean 100% support and no damage, nor was it only heals check fire shield with an ele. Might stacks anyone. Tell me that won’t work in a dungeon.

I would rather see a addition to people who defend/upgrade there is no reward for anything other than killing (badges and loot) some people find it challenge to just assist and be non combative.

There is no real way to be 'invisible' or anonymous

I bought 2 accounts for exactly this reason. But if your afraid of bumping into guild mates or friends guest to another server. The only thing you couldn’t do is dub v dub. If that is point then buy a second account. I would also like the option of toggling sign in between the two accounts. If you have computers shared by all, it is a pain to pull down you account among the others.

Actually this would be a great addition for anyone who is not concerned with how fast they kill something that does not regenerate health. Also in WvWvW used this on ely’s to help groups with AOE boons. I actually wish the gear had not stat boost. Only a slot/s for enhancements and the enhancement so you could mix and match and/or swap out.

Throw us roamer a bone please

I do wish that sitting a wall or upgrades counted for xp too. I may not have the stats to rukittenerg or a powerball but I can upgrade and repair that gets what in this game?

They added guesting so you can try out the server before you go. The only thing you can’t do is WvW.

Well the above comment explains why that wouldn’t work, but hey now i know and will never make that mistake again.

I am guessing that it was Aussies maybe from a different high pop server but ALL American servers are now setting at very full. I was going for world completion and needed WvWvW eternal and other teams home world. Like I said live and learn. Never again. Either way guesting would not have worked. Plus as a tier 8 server what are the chances of getting eternal a few sites but never the whole map. That was until the free transfers then tons imported in not for WvW either.

I feel for you. The only thing that surprises me is why Australians would be on EU servers in the first place. I say this as an Australian.

From almost the very beginning, the unofficial Oceanic server has been Sea of Sorrows. Even before launch the forums were talking about it.

Sucks that it happened though.

I paid for a world transfer prior to the free transfers other folks got. I moved from a low pop to a high pop server hated the new serve and was prohibited by the 7 day rule to go back. However in the mean time Anet allowed free transfers, which in turn changed my low pop server to a high pop server so no free or even lower cost return. I wish they would have locked the free servers down. 1800 gems is a lot. Feel more than a little upset with the whole way that went down as the Aussies bailed from EU to come to the American servers which are all now very high pop. I wouldn’t have changed at all but I belong to small guild and I account for at least 33% of the influence gained that was a huge cut for them. Buyers beware.
