Guild Wars 2

Apologies, i did overreact slightly there, I have been seeing a lot of people getting angry about it and got a bit carried away, im glad to see someone such as yourself is providing as much information as possible

However i do realise there are a lot of FPS issues at the moment, the game is very cpu and gpu intensive, understandably to a point as it is a very very pretty MMO. Im sure they will optimize things over time (also hardware will catch up too) and things will improve.

One saving grace may be if they choose to implement DirectX 11. As there is such a huge amount of high quality textures, the texture management in DX11 is much better than DX9 so this will provide a nice little boost in performance. So, fingers crossed on that one!

I’m glad we’re on the happy note again mate! :-)

DX11 would improve performance ? I didn’t look into that direction, so this is new to me. That would be good, but somehow I have this feeling DX11 is a bit further down on the list.
2 things puzzle me:
1, in BWE2 I personally had exceptionally good FPS, which declined substantially later on
2, a good portion of players claim their FPS got better after BWE2
Apparently there’s no middle-ground achievable, whatever ANet did, it helped some while it lowered performance for others.

For people who are looking for help you’re really not being very cooperative.

No I’m not spoon-feeding people with answers that can be found all over the net.
However, I did make a positive step by providing them with a tip of how to search for the answers they need.
Why am I not being applauded for teaching the man how to catch fish instead of giving him the fish I’ll never understand.

Refraction, please don’t turn into one of them kittens. :-)
I’m not ranting, unless the cries of the majority of community can be called rants. :-)
I’m enjoying my game for what it is, but I surely won’t just be silent about apparent problems it has and I will point them out. Not disappointed with my purchase at all even in the light of all this FPS fiasco.
And don’t worry about my cooperation, I’ve given ANet a lot of bug reports, spam reports and so on, I’m part of this thing, hopefully it will put your mind at ease. :-)

Collectors edition.

That was my guess, but I kinda asked the question sarcastically to emphasize the futility of such a transaction.

A side question : how on earth did you manage to pay 130 EUR for GW2 ?

Maybe you should stop being so oversensitive and use common sense.

Logic dictates that if an element was working inside a certain framework and now it isn’t and the framework itself didn’t change, that the corresponding element is where you should start looking for answers.

As for Lucetius and Gareson – search for “GW2 low fps” and you’ll find a ton of tips.

Have you tried running the game with the -repair command?

What graphics card has your wife got?

That is somewhat irrelevant TBH.

He said loud and clear the game was running fine on the same hardware prior to some game patches.
In BWE2 I had nice FPS of roughly 60-80. In BWE3 it dropped to 30-40. And now it stays between 20-50. The same hardware, nothing changed.

People need to get out of that illusion that client system is responsible for everything.

It’s not a bag for sure.
The game just doesn’t want you to farm one area, just be on the move and it will get better. It’s an anti-farming precaution, annoying nevertheless.

What ? Not even one word from ANet yet ? No word of appreciation ? No thank you to the guys here for compiling (which means a lot of painful testing) the much-needed buglist ? Honestly.

They are furry (everywhere), disciplined and their cubs are cute. And they call their fathers sire.
Must love Charr.

Yep, Firefox 15, back button bugs out sometimes.

We all have dreams.

You can not die!

Will you dent anything though ?

So is it safe to assume we have again 1-2 viable builds and the rest is unsustainable at all in PvP ?
