Speedtest.net clocks me at 11 ping, download speed 53 which i’m told is pretty good.
What do you mean on scandisk? A defrag? I’ve done a defrag.
Dell running Windows 8.1 Processor intel i7 4510u, memory 16 gb, 64 bit operating system. I don’t know what cpu-z and gpu-z are… are you suggesting I install another program (all I can find on google). In game settings are set to the lowest graphic settings possible. is hwinfo another program? Also zero idea what you mean by task manager to control gw2 ping… what is that? I have a task manager to shut down programs when they freeze… I’m not a tech person if you can’t tell.
I read the FPS topic above and also how to fix lag and connectivity… and it doesn’t help my game at all. I’m getting between 5 and 30 frames per second… usually closer to 5. I’ve made sure my computer is completely updated (even called my computers tech support) and called my ISP to make sure my connection is as fast as it can be… speedtest.net clocks my ping at 3 mbs…but lately Guild Wars is coming in at anywhere from 50… to 1630. Playing the game is like riding a rollercoaster, it’s making me sick to my stomach so I’m not playing. My computer blows the minimum requirements out of the water, yet even on a good day I am LUCKY if I can play with the graphics on the lowest settings. I don’t even know what else I can do to fix this… I’ve opened a support ticket which I keep getting asked for things I’ve already sent them, and to try fixes I’ve already tried (I followed the instructions in the support forum). Anybody found a fix for similar issues?
I’ve got a support ticket open for this issue myself… been about a week, week and a half of this freakish long ping, though when I run speedtest, or battleping.com my ping is 11… in game it shows 1200 and I can’t play because of it.
Another question on balance… why is it that the last month high tier servers are being set upon low tier servers? It’s 1 server week after week beating the other 2 in a match up 4-1. Looking at the pie chart it’s all 1 color all the time. What changed?
Bertrand, which runes would you suggest?
oh, and a guardian just hits me once with a hammer.

1 hit KO’s are typically from ranger’s bow barrage, some class that jumps and instantly downs, don’t know what that is. Necro’s sometimes take a couple hits but they freeze me so I can’t move the entire time, and mesmers split into multiples then explode and kill.
One other thing I think may help overall balance in wvw is to make it so that waypoints don’t become contested just because someone tapped the door with a sword once or twice…why not make it so that it only becomes contested when it gets hit with siege?
I’ve been playing mainly as a thief for awhile now… just long enough to see that there is pretty much only one “correct” build for any given class, and long enough to be convinced (probably wrongly) that this game has zero balance. I can solo a camp, and once even solo’d a small tower. However, put me up against even 1 other player and I’m toast. Doesn’t matter what player. Give a kid a keyboard, have him spam 1 and I’ll be dead. I dodge, and use my skills, have exotic armor, the works… yet find I’m constantly be one shot ko’d by pretty much every class… and this is with the PVC build which I’ve read is supposed to be more survivable. I’ve tried the zerker build which is even worse for someone who hasn’t played for years. Can someone help me with either build or something so I can at least play the game? It’s really not enjoyable to just wander around a map until you’re murdered in under 2 seconds. I used to be almost an even match up with a ranger… then they did a patch and rangers became immortal gods who could hunt me in stealth and half of their arrow barrage downs me. Any help would be appreciated.
