Guild Wars 2

Be patient grasshoppers, ANET will respond in the next 2-8 years. Depending on how they feel about you guys. /s

I am actually surprised that no one even attempted to “it will be fixed soon” from anet’s side.

Can anyone that actually got it to work repeat the process? maybe you guys can help out the unfortunate “forgotten” of Anet world? would gladly tip a gold for this instance.

Aren’t they starting the beta stress test? Maybe it affects the main servers?

I am just wondering if anything was resolved here,

I also run the same hardware, specifically:

4790k oc to 4.6ghz
Asus hero 7
Zotac 980 extreme edition (fastest factory oc card?)
sandisk 512 extreme ssd
bla
bla
bla

My numbers are
100+(reached 287 facing a wall) fps on empties
80-120 on regular maps with some people and fighting random trash mobs
70-100 with small groups (8-10 players)
60-90 larger groups (blob building up)
50-70 teq grouping
25-35 teq blobbing…
35-45 WvW tower zerging
~30 WvWvW triple zerg clash

All my settings are at max, minus models limit/quality, they are on high not highest.

I’ve notice a 2-4 fps jump when I go to task manager > processes > right click GW2.EXE*32 (or something like that) > set priority > high / real time

I was told not to set to real time because everything else in background runs to a grinding halt, however when I gw2, I only gw2… I tried both real time and high and the results are similar, so I try to set it as high, just to grab that extra fps on teq runs.

I also believe that gw2 has minimal support for gtx980, this is because its the only game that crashes when I oc my vid card. I oc with stock software on preset oc settings, so it theoretically should be stable (nothing else crashes really, just gw2).

So, I am just curious why OP has lower fps than I do… and can it be the gtx980 messing with things? I’ve heard that the 970 plays better with gw2.

Guys… Get the bigger picture.. this is a nerf to the classes whom cannot bleed. ahemguardianahem. Good thing specialization will fix that… right??? lol

Do not take me too seriously I just felt that it was funny.

Also, I do not see why people will quit wvw due to stability change and no idea why they would quit after this change. if they do, they are not SERIOUS wvw guilds anyway, they can leave so good players do not have to que up.

So, I read some of this stuff and skipped a few, just like to add that…

I came from a (early 2010? 2011?)MBP (win7 64bit bootcamp) (i7 2820HQ (or something like that), radeon something useless, and ssd) to…

i7 4790k (4.6ghz)
Zotac 980 AMP! Extreme edition
Asus VII Hero
SSD
bla bla bla

and the difference is….
MBP: 15-45 fps (situational) all lowest settings with native sampling, and “low” model limit and quaitly… CPU temps around 85*C

to…

PC: 30-112 fps (situational) all highest settings except shadows are not at ultra, and native sampling because these two options generally didn’t do anything for me but i lose 2-6 fps.

so in LARGE WvWvW zerg fight I went from 15 fps to 30 fps
World boss trains, went from 20fps to average 55 fps
and open world, not much people around, i sit cleanly around 80 fps…

I do not know how my system stacks up with other people, but people in the game just talks about how their computers are running solid 75+ fps in all situations. no idea how they achieve this, and kind of believe they are lying.

I also get random gw2 crashes once every 3-7 hours, the screen either goes gray, or minimizes, everything else is perfect and the sound still plays.. i can hear myself die, but no graphics. I think my graphics card isn’t well supported by gw2 in general, this also happens more when my card is overclocked with the factory software, something isnt stable with my card and i’d have to figure out what.

I… Like the new system, but all my alts were grandfathered in so no worries of trait gate.

I am not sure if you guys with the grandfathered alts tried playing the game, but I seriously thought the game is very enjoyable exploring and leveling without even caring one bit about building my character traits. I spent more time doing the quest and hearts then staring at hexagonal shapes. Now, I also cannot speak for you guys. Maybe I just don’t care enough to really worry about these updates.

The game is easier now, all the mobs die fast. I can’t understand the weaker character aspect… But I also don’t PvP or go heavy into WvW when it comes to my alts. Can’t comment on that.

I have 3 lv 80, 1 lv 40, 1 lv 28, 1 lv 18, and a lv 5.

Before the patch I just rush for the lvl 80 through wvw trains anyway so it’s not like I sat there and got excited over each trait point…

My 2c, probably worthless in a thread like this. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and I am not saying anyone is wrong, just my views on the new update. I come in peace.

I completed it again, however there was no Laurel rewards, so I thought that was unfair, or bugged.
