Do you remember ArenaNet saying: “The game will be released when it’s ready”?
Sadly, doesn’t seem so…

it’s hard to not be cynical i was in beta, and while not many had my point of view 9 days to test a full game is horribly short :P thus .. voila lots of problems i had made a huge post about making the beta last longer and or opening it up to full time for all beta tests not just their internal team.. but got kind of shot down by them and a lot of testers, yet launch and 2+ months later shows they should have.. not that i’m not having fun but theres a tun of really basic problems still.

I remember I was really surprised when I heard the release date after going trough all beta events… I thought we would have it some time before winter. I guess it was a race with Mists of Pandaria.
The game runs poorly, but I agree – it is fun nevertheless.
Oh the other hand, if it would run perfectly, I would probably be spending way too much time playing it. Now I can only spend an hour on it until I get frustrated.
Lets just hope for the best.

I feel you guys. Same problem.

Even when using the lowest setting I could not get past 27 FPS mark in normal PVE situations. After 30 min. of game play the FPS falls to 15-18. It does not happen on other games. I am able to play everything on medium-high settings and get steady 40-50 FPS.

What have I done so far:
Re-install Windows, latest drivers and client.
Set power settings for max performance.
Cleaned the dust from the inside of the laptop and started using a cooling pad.
Shut down all unnecessary programs with task manager (even explorer.exe)
Used tips from here: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/FPS-and-Performance-based-issues-1

My spec:
Intel® Core™ i5-2430M
8GB DDR3
750GB, S-ATA 5400rpm
NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M 2GB

Could this be a problem of temperature? Software or Hardware? I heard that running games from external hard disk might help… What do you think about that?

It has been some time since the release of Guild Wars 2 and I was hoping that with some patch the problem will solve itself, but it didn’t.

The thing is that even using the lowest setting I could not get past 27 FPS mark in normal PVE situations (I reach ~40 FPS when I point the camera directly to the ground ). After 30 min. of game play the FPS falls to 15-18. It does not happen on other games. I am able to play everything on medium-high settings and get steady 40-50 FPS.

The problems seem to be similar to most players. Do you think it is an issue of temperature? Software or Hardware? Maybe the game itself? I heard that running games from external hard disk might help (not sure how)… What do you think about that?
