Guild Wars 2

and i would it make it more dis-rewarding the higher you are. so meaning you have to play more in higher divisions. So current proposal is crap.

you have to make it per division . Lower divisions don’t play that much. Higher will if they want to keep their rank. So time deviates comparing the rank your in.

And nice you reset the parameters for the board. But y you know better:)

Meaning show prediction of match, losing and gain points. Adapt your rewarding system for close wins, close losses or certain wins /losses. People will be more happy.

As an average player i like the no nonsense approach of Evan. Ok last week i had also a never expected loosing strike (10 before max i had was 4 or so), can happen. On average i have good matches (except last weekend). I could predict we lose the match in advance and certainly not helping if others see the same and not want to play. (can’t follow those people, i won several 4/5 or matches 200 behind, most of the time that matches are the most appealing to win). But following this nonsense approach it would be nice we see a match prediction (as somewhere said before by Anet),: expected to lose, expected to win
points deviation etc.

why you mention guardian buff’s. They have nothing to do with dh.

so i’ll guess anytime or in a few hours.

Not my thing this, but there are other topics here in forum related to your next problem.
Reinstalling the game worked for some. Consider buying also an ssd, it’s only a small investment but a big difference in many ways.

don’t compare that game with gw2. Your bus load is only 21% @ x1 speed
As long as you are stuck @ x1 bus speed some games will work other not. But at the end you are missing the full potention of your system and a new cpu will be wasted money.
Anyway seeing the graphics on that game i doubt you even need a gpu
And sent a screenshot of your darksoul @ 60fps, people try to help you denying what your problem is wont help.

Yeah it depends on games, just look on bus interface load it’s your’s bottleneck atm.

sry can’t help anymore as your other slots are max 1. Try to clean all pins and y maybe ask a friend for trying another card in your pc or try your card in another pc. But as said before x1 is way to low to get a decent framerate in gw2.

so it should run @ 16, try your other game and check while playing the bus speed in gpuz.

the 16 x is the blue one oposite aligned to the others

Which main board you have ?

Could also be a hardware defect on a slot, if you know your main board you can choose another higher then 1 slot to test. And if i were you i tried the other game you mentioned and check gpuz while playing. Sometimes weird stuff is going on with not matching between drivers and operating systems to seek for the new green way.

some info about this https://www.reddit.com/r/pcgaming/comments/2sg2zj/psa_double_check_your_gpus_bus_interface/
could also be bad contacts.

sry missed the post from Behellag your bandwith is 16x to slow

It is strange his gpu is loaded to the max in last picture so that’s the bottleneck, but can’t compare as he probably used much higher settings now.

Can you do the same, with same settings as the first post and also cpu core load. Nothing wrong with your gpu it is used to the max with the settings you showed now

where you find the 10% difference http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i5-650-vs-Intel-Core-i3-2100/m340vsm41. Even when not loaded the gpu is clocked at his waked state, that’s why i said in previous post gpu @1% usage and vent 100%

ha Behellagh i will get an old laptop 2 cores up to run to show you why his system is underperforming. And he has a i5 so no point for you overview and please give the link.

Behellagh look at clocks in his picture posted the gpu waked up.
Wathever you want to call that i5 , it’s a dual core 4 threads with higher then 3ghz clock so should not cause that low framerate, As gw2 is more depending on one main thread, a duo with higher clocks is better then a quad with lower.

Havensrayne ?
1. He’s not saying he has rubber banding or high ping peeks.
2. gtx1080 was only available when 64bit was already standard to download
3. What has Amd to do with his problem ?
There are a huge amount of variables come into play but this is already said.

Difficult to say whats happening as figures which are shown are not during load. Strange thing is that with 1% gpu load your fan is at 100%.
Best is to measure with gw2 in windowed mode and monitoring next to it. Also measure temps and clock and core usage of cpu during game. You can use CPUID Hwmonitor for this. Also tell us the value of the bus interface in the graphics card tab of gpuz : PCI……

i5 650 shouldn’t be a problem so you have to look elsewhere.
get some monitoring tools and check load and clocks on cpu and gpu during game.
Still a high ping. With half the cpu and gpu you have you still should have a higher framerate

Control Panel > Hardware/Device Manager > Display Adapters > right click Intel HD Graphics and Disable

1 it’s not normal that low framerate
2 i’ll guess you using the internal intel gpu instead of the gtx 970

I use throttlestop for this, the author of this tool has a nda with Intel for accessing non documented registers, but you better start with https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/24075/Intel-Extreme-Tuning-Utility-Intel-XTU-
Before you change anything, read some stuff about it. Also google for people with the same system as you. Current cpu’s can have something but know you can still do
something wrong if you don’t understand how to.

you can use http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/ to compare your system with other’s who have the same.

Anyway this thread should be in technical support and not here

Third cpu @ 4ghz GPU max overclock 2025 MHZ, rendering oversampling (native was gpu 70% usage, around 2025 Mhz)

Cpu usage lowers , Gpu is becoming the bottleneck with 82% usage and clock down to 1924MHz

Second1 cpu @ 3Ghz GPU max overclock 2025 MHZ, rendering oversampling

Cpu still the bottleneck, Gpu usage 65% but struggles to hold the overclock. (note this is a laptop there are also power limitations)

Yeah lol curtegg, there are other forums to promote overpriced hardware. (send us a screenshot of your settings in the middle of a crowded area and your mac specifications)
I tryed also the game for fun on a old dimension 9150 (from 2005) and probably score higher then your old mac, but why should i? It has nothing to do with the worth of that system.
Those systems still run gw2, but in no way comparable with current standards. Some people have also a Ford T and claiming it’s still running but how do they perform on the highway?

Now back to topic,
You have a 6800k (6 cores/12 threads) @3.4ghz turbo 3.6ghz.
But this is a k version, so meant to overclock, you pay for this “k” (to 4ghz with good air cooling or above with liquid)
I have a similar 6820hk (laptop) (4cores/8threads) @2.7ghz turbo 3.6ghz, i run @ 4ghz all cores (only the laptops power limitations prevent to go higher).

Now some measurements cpu and gpu load (vents are set for low noice and kick only really in around 75c and 85c).
I’ll give this as an example for people: 1. claiming gw2 is only cpu related 2. my pc is underperforming 3. I crash
You can only say something about a system when you measure things.
(A lot can go wrong which is not related to Anet, ex temp,power distribution, operating system settings, ddos attacks, providers restrictions, Nvidia settings,
some producents use even throttling as a standard as their system is not designed to meet even the normal chip specifications (i’’ll guess apple will do something similar to solve their gpu issues on the new pro) etc.)

Throttlestop for cpu monitoring and cpu register settings (co% gives core usage, FID clock of core :setting x +/- 100mhz), afterburner for gpu. Gsync on. Gpu gtx1070

First cpu @ 3Ghz GPU max overclock 2025 MHZ, rendering native
Cpu is the bottleneck, Gpu usage 50% and can hold his max overclock.

You can use commandline -maploadinfo to follow up info on your load times. Depending on the pc i use, i saw also a higher loading time which started a few months ago.

Cpu´s don´t work as they used to be, you can overclock, but they can lockdown some parts while doing so. People think about clock of the cpu , but there is more (cpu cache,system agent etc). An higher clock doesn´t in se has a higher performance. (an intel cpu try´s to hold is TPD, and they do this in all possible not published ways). Same or even more is for the pascal Nvidia gpu´s, they have a base clock and as long as some parameters are good they overclock a lot. ( power, temp , and some other´s),
As an extra, all parts (including the operating system) tries to be as green (read not consuming power) as possible. Thanks to this a lot of systems under perform. Also, and this is a big problem, most standard cooling systems are under dimensioned, preventing the cpu or gpu to perform at his best.

So if you think you not performing with you system the only thing you can do is measure. (So not the stupid comments about oh this game depends only on cpu)

What i find the best about gw2, it tries to get the best out of your system until it finds a bottleneck, but while doing so it´s even worse as a stress test. (most of the crashes people have are power, temp or to high clocks on memory related).

Last one
all maxed, no windowed:

next a random map,

i7 6820hk
gtx 1070,

This is a laptop, so you should perform better.

Anyway it’s normal you loose frame rate in crowded area’s like any mmo does.

For comparision,
crowded area

Yeah, Doggie would be nice if we had a selection box to kill the auto reset

“Structured Player vs. Player
The chests at the end of reward tracks now stack.”

Thx this is a start, but there are some good suggestions in this thread: keyring, mini’s to vendor (SWTOR does it also like this), extra space during events, green runes oh i like this one.

Danikat don’t be offended everyone uses your 4 points, but i was pointing out: the more they add, the more we have to spent time on cleaning the inventory instead of playing the game.

inculpatus is that for real what you said ? repair lol

inculpatus,did you read all? I do all and have all you said but in the end it’s becoming a pain in the … I just want to play a game, the rest i do enough in real live.

The sad thing is, every time you do something you need to clean up your inventory. But they spamming more and more. And i have nothing against a merit after an achievement, but why all this crap spam. If they compare personal storage at start and now against all items at start and now, big difference.

Bags restricted to 8 places so 160 places max on a char. I mainly play pvp, but i follow living story, hot etc. Never had a serious problem with my bags, but last months ? You just constantly invent new items, (1. not for sell, 2. keep cause you prob need them, 3. ex. ho Halloween let’s spam your inventory). I,m becoming afraid to open bags:) who spam all around. In se i have no problem how you define your merit system, but please remove the restriction on bags on chars.

I own a lot of chars, but sadly used as storage place. You have a system: bank, local storage etc. It was good at start, but now not adapted against all you changed (read char storage is not comfortable anymore).

never been playing a meta build on my main and never had disapproval as some say. Meta is easy you just take your build ( had to do it for the stupid multi prof achievement for the wings) . I have hot but not playing it, non hot builds can still be good, ok some hot builds are easier to play but skill and fun matters.

gaile any indication when next season will start ?

don’t get this sparky why you should ever run around with that title.
1. i was first and you not so i have this title. So?
2. i grind this faster then you. So ?
3. it’s the only way i can show i’m good in pvp. Lol this one.

lol Torolan, read between the lines, skip the ever complaining and you will be happy.

pvp and achievements a difficult thing. There’s is nothing wrong with attracting pve players to pvp, some will stay other’s not, but this game mode needs some promotion so i’m a supporter. Some say titles of those maps have value ? Mmm, a die hard pvp player will have those in no time, so he/she doesn’t care. But for the best among pvp players (and i don’t include myself) it should be nice those achievements have a almost impossible part (which could be an extra title or a cool animation), like you do in other’s for achievements. ( ex. 8 out of 10 to get the achievement, of 9 of 10 to get the bonus, 10 of 10 to get the impossible). And preferable those extra should promote team play, map awareness , game fairness and not grind fest in a ideal game. But yeah that’s a wish list for all games
Anyway thx for these interaction on forum these last months from the pvp team, keep up.

Nothing should they learn from overwatch. It are 2 different games, if you like overwatch this much you should play there instead of asking Anet to make a clone of overwatch. Reading the competitive forum from Overwatch, bah it’s seems gw2 pvp mode is not that bad at all.

Next season will start shortly. No teams this time, only 1 or 2 together. I am a solo player so no problem for me. But in my opinion if they change this so dramatically, old values have no sense for those who were playing in team.

Same, should have 4 more now. Counter of winstreakes however progresses

@Feeh your cpu is probably thermal throthling at 60, this could have many reasons including some other parts on y board. (just google fx 6300 thermal throttling)
At the moment your fps drops, your cpu is probably running only at 1.4 Ghz.
Leaving only 4 cores active will help a bit at start to keep the temps lower but after a while you will have the same problem.
