Ensure the PC is free of built-up dust (which you say you’ve done), make sure all your fans are working correctly and ensure there is nothing blocking the air-flow into the case.
If all of the above is fine, I’m guessing you’re just in a hot environment, in which case I’d look into getting an after-market cooler for your CPU.
I haven’t had it drop lower then lower 30s with 100+ players.
last night three servers were fighting in stomemist with easy 150 players and it never got below 30 and still looked smooth.
Well either there was some massive optimization done between now and the last time I was in a massive zerg, or you’re running much lower settings than I am.
I’ve got everything at the highest setting (@1080p) except for Render Sampling which is at native and with my 3570K @4.4GHz & 670 @ 1050MHz (base), I’ve seen my fps below 20 during some very big zergs.
On November 1, we introduced a change that unintentionally increased the drop rate of Unidentified Dye. Today’s game update corrects the drop rate for Unidentified Dye."
Don’t see many of them as being too wide. I actually think there are too many that are too thin (like the Ebon GS).
There aren’t a whole lot of Greatswords that I like, though there are a lot that I’d love with one minor change. Got the AC GS on my Norn Warrior and Priory GS on my Charr Guardian.
The Vigil Greatsword does look stupid, not so much because of the blades width, but it’s extremely disproportionate hilt.
The current FOV fix is nice, buy yes, camera does need more work. It seems like most of the difficulty for a jumping puzzle comes from having to fight with the camera the whole time.
for those people who notice an increase in dye drops – are you farming on a level 80 in 70+ zones? or is this low level stuff – because to be honest, it feels as though the second you hit 80 the dye drops go down by 75% – both myself and my GF noticed this severe drop on both of our multiple 80’s
Seen that Yoonie fella running around on FA with his Twilight and Sunrise, he’s a bit of an attention-kitten. Would not surprise me in the least if he did have that many points.
So many compromises would have to be made to get this game on consoles.
Performance is already pretty subpar on powerful PCs, I can’t imagine what it’d take to get a smooth frame-rate in the middle of a zerg on current console hardware.
Then there’s the UI and controls which would have to be completely overhauled and simplified for a gamepad.
Thanks, that’s exactly what I’m finding when trying to use it. The heal is three seconds on, three seconds off.
It’s a pretty significant bug to the trait when you think that it’s only 50% as efficient as it should be.
I was really looking forward to unlocking the Battle Presence trait on my Guardian but am pretty disappointed to find out it’s broken and only about half as effective as it should be.
I went to the Wiki to see what’s up and found a bit of an explanation.
From the Wiki:
“The following bug may not be exclusive to Guardians using both Battle Presence and having invested points in the Virtue trait tree as originally thought. Original report: When Battle Presence is utilized on a Guardian with one or more points spent in the Virtue tree, the increased boon duration from the Virtue tree causes the Virtue of Resolve (VoR) boon on allies to last longer and overlap its own refreshes. Since the VoR boon is a nonstacking boon, it causes the Immune message to appear and is not not reapplied until the previous VoR boon expires. The lapse in VoR duration due to timing overlap is estimated to make this trait less effective by 50-66% of the healing it should really provide.”
Just wondering if anyone has seen comment from ANet on this?
I certainly hope they’re getting fixed as it can be quite annoying when I’m doing an dungeon and knowing I’m not dealing as much damage as I could be.
Can also happen with ranged weapons. I was trying to attack a dredge structure with a scepter and kept getting ‘Out of range’, regardless of how close I got.
In theory, having (commune) skillpoints in the middle of a tough group event may sound like a good way to make them difficult to obtain, but when no one wants to do the group event, it literally makes them impossible to obtain.
For three days I have have had all of Malchor’s Leap complete except for one skillpoint which is blocked by the Lyssa event. Despite checking multiple times each day, I’ve not seen the event cleared. I’ve asked in chat if anyone wants to do it, but of course nothing comes of it.
If ANet can’t design an area worthy of spending time in, that’s… fine, but why punish the people who do want to go to that area and complete it.
