Bump!

I agree with this. Some of us spend a great deal of time and money collecting dyes. It’s part of the fun; Searching high and low, hoping to get that perfect dye to make your armor look amazing!

However, this becomes very discouraging when the same people that love collecting dyes also love having alts. I am one of those people. I love playing the game from different character perspectives and searching for the colors that best fit the persona of the character I am playing.

I strongly feel that account wide dyes are essential. I truly do not understand the decision to make them available to only one character.

I am not having any serious issues w/ SLI (dual evga GTX 580 classifieds) but I don’t really see a big performance gain. After the removal of culling I turned that up to “Highest” and I have every setting maxed out. My frame rate drops considerably when there are a lot of other players on screen. My GPUs don’t get to more than 60% total usage. My GPU temps are generally below 60c with an ambient room temp of ~23c. GPU mem usage is around 2GB out of 6GB total.

I then assumed that it was simply that they are routing a lot of the calculation to the CPU but I’m not seeing much an hit there either. I have an i7 3930k overclocked to 4.5GHz and that sits at no higher than 30%-40% when i’m playing. Temps on all 6 cores are normally around 55c-60c, again with an ambient room temp of ~23c.

My memory is nearly always below 40% (assuming I don’t have a ton of other things running) out of 32GB (~12GB-13GB). This includes some misc monitoring tools and gamepad/headset software ect.

However, I did notice a significant performance gain when I turned of player names. It may even simply be coincidence but things seemed to work a bit better when I turned them off.

Just a note about the temps. I have a liquid cooled machine so my temps might be a bit lower than most. Also, if it helps I’m running the ASUS Rampage IV Extreme (ROG) mobo.

I’m having the same issue. I have completed several and I have only gotten credit for 3/5. Every time they all seem to end the same… I get the rewards but I don’t seem to progress on the achievement… Anyone have any ideas?
