Winter.3204:

So apparently I was ranting a bit and finally got myself a reply from a staff member who actually took the time to explain WHY ArenaNet is NOT at fault, gonna share it to you, since they don’t seem to find the courage to update everyone who is seeking for help in this thread.

/*
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Pf3rC3Be9n1uW9zKjpnktqyowiLcFb6a6ayKj1OWOHM/edit?usp=sharing
*/

so it seems somebody got a reply, it still dont explain why 90% of people only experienced this after the patch, and why turning the ui returns our fps to normal, none the less i will try the fix that was suggested

this seems more like ping-related problem. i (and many more ppl) dont have ping problems. (mine i about 40-60). its clearly sth with interface code (turning off ui, or just interface makes so huge frame differences)

go to gw2 proprieties and see if anything has changed after the new patch guys.

after all the patches they rained since ‘update’, no change in performance (but luckily sweetfx works again)

LordAdre.8174:

Apparantly, we need to re-dowload + re-instal the game, then FPS problem should be fixed. I’m gonna try it tonight,

soo you tell me i got to re-download it on my lightning fast 10mbit internet? id have to elave it for day or 2 just for that…

It’s what the support said me, They said the FPS problem should be fixed by download and install the game again.

would be nice if anyone redtagged on forums would answer in a single performance-related topic, as its tons of them and we seem to be ignored

we’d be grateful for any info if re-download and re-instal help

getting funnier! no inventory – 55fps
turning on inventory (god, its just a bunch of icons!) – 40fps
fix your game please…

fps drop is here as well. and it seems to be connected with gui (when its off, fps is like it was before)
ive posted it few tiems already, but we must keep topics high so maybe they’ll stop ignoring us

I don’t know who you talked to, but outside WvW (which indeed doesn’t use GPU for some reason) the game uses mostly the GPU and not much of the CPU. If players actually TESTED their claims, it would be better, but most players just post what others post and what they read somewhere.

Open your task manager and it’s easy to see the GPU is getting way more usage than the CPU, of course that depends on your CPU/GPU, if your CPU is terrible and your GPU is a monster, it might not be the case.

this
as owner of 4690k @ 4,5 (which isnt monster by any means)
i hardly get it to 80-90% of usage, mostly sitting at 30-60%
however, my hd7850 is constantly at 99% (especially on new maps)
and if expansion maps will be even more detailed / bigger than southsun/drytop/sw, for lots of players gpu change may be neccesary to get decent framerate, even if we’ll be stuck in 2005 with dx9

I play 95% WvW, and i can say that my GPU is woefully under-utilized, mostly sitting at 15-20%. I Have tested my claims, I simply am in a different community (mostly wvw) where CPU dominates. I dont really spend any time on the new maps besides to unlock them and get WPs in every corner. I simply wanted to know if there would be any optimizations that would improve resource management.

It doesn’t really affect my gameplay at all – my CPU can handle all of the processing that needs to happen in full settings, but I had a glimmer of a hope that maybe Anet would bring the game into the right decade.

Thanks for all the posts and links.

with new wvw maps comming, its highly possible that they’ll ned muchmuchmuchmcuh more gpu power, like the new pve maps do

following this thinking
ppl are against zerker speedruning, but dont like certain dungeon because its long
because logic

now its mostly farmers left, cause ppl that were interested in actual gameplay, not only shinies did it many times, long time ago. and would gladly consume new ones

high framerate drop with ui turned on
details here: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/support/interface-eating-7-fps/first#post4888078
many more players noticing same issues

I wouldnt call existing dungeons easy.
They are boring and smooth for many of us because we did them hundreds if not thousands of times. Once we see new dungeons they will be challenging but half year later they will be farmed with daily manner as old ones. This is totally natural.

well i wouldnt say arah p4 or fotm 50 are farmed daily (at least not by majority)

and since ferocity patch, anything below cof can be easily done even by newbies that dont know the path, cause mobs are weak

Due to mostly cultural reasons dungeons appear inaccessible to a large number of players

by cultural you mean: i dont know what to do, so ill join zerker speedrun lfg in my greens / clerics whatever. then go cry on forums that so bad and ‘unfriednly players kicked me from dungeon omg toxic community’

we dont have problems with your open world zerging, so you should gtfo from dungeons. zome ppl njoy zerging and spamming one, some njoy speed running dungeons. and anet should give some content to both groups. i dont think 1 or 2 dungeons (story +3/4 paths) would prevent them from updateing open world zergfests

some ppl run dungeons for shinies, some just njoy them more than ‘follow commander and press 1 to kill / f to open chest in SW’

Um, dungeon ranger is 1 spam. Most of sustained damage comes from 1 spam, like warrior mainhand axe. Thief does cnd>backstab every other while and in the revealed debuff spams 1. Necromancer is 1 spam, from dagger to deathshroud to Lich elite. Once ele has his might stacks and has used meteor shower, he just spams fire ball in between lava fonts.

hmm..without timed dodges/blocks/blind/projectiles defense it would be wipe in like 10seconds. try snowblind boss/grawl shaman/mossman(on land, not underwater glitch)/mai trin at scales 40+/hotw bosses with just spamming 1 stacked and not touching other buttons.

and you know: just because most of current dungeons/paths are easy and bit boring (most 80- ones, jade maw), doesnt mean they couldnt make new ones with more complex mechanics, more challenging.
and i dont see it possible to do open world content player skill based, its just a matter of working out how it works (check teq/wurm – impossible at the begining now regularly killed, without much effort from players, only need to follow commanders. vinewrath is just supereasy mode marionette, which was easy too and failed only due to REALLY BAD players that couldnt understand simple mechanics (or i should say – didnt want to learn and wanted to just 111 through everything and be rewarded for no effort at all. and it lead to fail and insult on chat))

why play a game that offers you no challenge and rewards everyone for quite everything, even if the activity can be completed by 5 year old kid

i dont mean do offend anyone, its just my (and many more players) point of view – games are about challange, not necessarily very hard challenge, but challenge

sorry for my english as well

Technically, these dungeons were less buggy and offered more interesting challenges/puzzles than the AC I run daily.

The fact they got re-integrated in fractals because of community lobbying should tell you how appreciated they were.

Less buggy? I wouldn’t say so. Mai trin’s cannons phase is probably one of the most prominent bug in fractals and everyone complains about that.

Also, a lot of people don’t like time gated challenges.

What’s buggy about the cannon phase in Mai Trin?

for example getting 1-shotted even when out of red circles without lags

CHALLENGING.

but but
50 ppl stacking on commander and spamming 1 is challenging!

about all those saying that ‘few ppl play dungeons’. yeah, your’re right. less and less ppl play dungeons cause how many times can you repeat it over and over and over and over…
if we got new dungeons, i can guarantee you lfg for them would be crowded as hell

Rebound.3409:

Can’t wait to see how it moves when they introduce even more detailed maps like they plan to in the expansion (maps are now even vertically detailed). What use is to have a beautifully drawn game (art) if most ppl will auto-set it to low settings in order to get above “slideshow” FPS.

this

as for the cores usage…well, playing gw2 i got 4 of my i5 cores often loaded around 70-80%, so i think it can use at least 4 cores/threads.
gpu however (hd7850), likes to get to 100% in southsun / drytop/ silverwastes and i wonder if itll produce at least 30+ in new map(s?)

- no bows for guard (axe/offhandsword/rifle please!)
- no scepter / focus for warrior (melee staff maybe? offhand dagger?)
- no mace / hammer / scepter / focus / staff / longbow for thief
- well, engi gets hammer..and only other weapon that may fit someday later seems to be mace
- ranger gets staff..not sure how to feel about that. for sure no pistols / scepter / focus / hammer / mace
- no mace / hammer / rifle for ele
- no mace / hammer / bows for mesmer
- necro gets gs…well, for sure hammer wouldnt fit it

and no more greatsword. its already on 4 classes, 5th getting it now…please, stop that

mstanton.3561:

Macro…oh wait they’re agains that in the TOS guess your stuck with just making a macro..oh wait the…

you cannot use macro to perform tasks that normally require multiple keys/buttons. since openning things is just using leftclick, is leftclick loop really that bad?

I really hope not…

Out of everything we could have gotten… a freak’n bow…

We already have a Bow…. BOW OF TRUTH… and it’s lame! Don’t add to the lame’ness!

Out of everything what exactly? Guns? An axe? Not very paladin-y, that.

its GUARDIAN, not PALADIN
why does everyone try to connect them so hard. guardian is guardian.
id much more prefer axe or warhorn, or at least shortbow (mainly cause there’s more cool shortbow skins). or going crazy – rifle or pistols shooting blue flames? offhand sword anyone…?

longbow is boring on both ranger and warrior. and im afraid it’d be as boring on guard.

noone complain about lack of new dx. we just state that game performance is terrible for what it visually offers in 2015. it should run with higher framerates.

dlonie.6547:

I’d rather see some of these things moved into the wallet (bandit crests, etc). I mean…that’s what it’s there for, right? But yeah, more bank tabs would always be nice!
!

!! crests and geodes to wallet!! its permanent stuff, not any special event and they are just tokens, why have anet forgot about wallet?!?!

more bank tabs and further inventory expansion (to 200?) wouldnt hurt either

ProtoGunner.4953:

They had dx8 in the original campaign and updated to 9 for fractals. They could do the same. The argument of being more accessible for older machines is null since you can usually just switch between the two renders like in WoW. Dx9 is extremely old and it’s a bit ridiculous not to have the option for at least dx10.

What are you even SAYING?

Oh my, I just re-read that… sorry, I have a 20h flight behind me and my concentration is lacking: in Guild Wars 1 Prophecies they ran DirectX 8 and for Factions they updated to DirectX 9.

You can choose between DirectX versions in WoW since a couple of years (at least you could some time ago, haven’t played in a while). This would be an option, too, if poeple have older machines.

while having multiple renderers for the same game is possible (see WoW, Civ 5) it requires the game be built with that in mind from the get go.

if you haven’t built your game from the ground up with this in mind (usually to have a DX and OGL renderer) then it is ALOT of work convert it.

im not sure if wow was built with dx11 in mind
and they did it
whats stopping anet? not enough money, so they put skins that were ingame skins in the orignal, now for 300 gems?

cmon, you say we should get 2015 top gpu for game looking like from 2010?

no! read what i wrote again..
u dont need top 2015 GPU to play GW2..
i said u need to get better GPU if u want more FPS because better CPU wont help u

i understood you perfectly

id just like to know why 2012 game, with engine from 2005 (ok, it was ‘heavily modified’ but still..) cant run stable 60fps (in age of 144hz screens…) on midrange 2013 gpu

it just works bad. almost as bad as gta4 was running at launch (no matter the pc – performance was fully random – and patches helped just a bit)

Alchymista.8192:

iam playing this game since beta.. and i dont remember my game ever crashed.. i got a lot of DC.. but never crash.. if u want more fps.. u need to get better GPU.. basicly any intel quad-core CPU is enough and more cores or OC will not give u more fps..

cmon, you say we should get 2015 top gpu for game looking like from 2010?

Gazareth.7230:

Let’s not have this devolve into AMD vs NVidia. This is about Guild Wars 2 and optimisation of its engine.

yep
so at work i got i7 4790k @ 4,4 with gtx760 OC 2gb (ok, its not the fastest one but again, considering gw2 age and what it offers visually – should be more than enough)
i dont see it running any better than at my home rig – fps drops to 30-40 are regular thing, no matter the settings (im not even commenting performance at teq or wurm…)

Spiuk.8421:

I wouldn’t say GW2 is GPU intensive, even mid-tier ones are perfectly capable of running it at max settings with supersampling thrown on top with the CPU still being the bottleneck. All MMOs have the same problem, WoW on a good card has no problem pushing close to 120fps at max settings while questing, then you go to the Highmaul entrance at raid hour and you have a slideshow…

it is. on hd7850 2gb (runs much better looking games smoothly) at max settings with native rendering, its constantly at 90-99% load, fps dropping often to 30 or less, while my 4690k @ 4,2 is rarely going over 70% load. thats about regular playing – world bosses are barely playable, regardless of settings
and stop that bs with amd making bad gpu – in many and more title they far outperformthe green cards (unless nvidia pays $$ to developers to make their games work worse on amd products. latest gtx970 problems and the gsync joke perfectly fit with that)

its great and all but…makes magicfind kinda useless ?
whats the purpose of my 200account mf, if all rewards are unaffected by it? there need to be some balance done.
and pleaseee
pleasee
pleasee
no more currencies. or if we must get some, at least add them to wallet. geodes/badges are really poor design, just wasting inv slots (and yes, i do have maxed bank and inventory..but hate it when unnecessary items are taking slots)

Yeah, the point is that GW2 doesn’t look good enough to warrant the kind of system it demands to run it smoothly. This means it is poorly optimised, which is something that needs to be fixed.

I can’t think any game that looks as gorgeous as GW2 does, with the same amount of players on the screen.

Can you?

enlighten me, how much more gpu must calculate for player than for npc? i play shadow of mordor that looks 10x better than gw2 (models complexity, huge textures, all the effects), having insane ammount of enemies at screen and..its stable high fps. i know, its mmo, it works differently…but still load on gpu is jsut too huge, when my i5 is just dying of boredom. and as they announced even bigger map, the performance may be terrible as well (dt/sw need more power than sc did. and sc is still much more demanding than vanilla maps)….

A lot more. Mostly because in a single player game the hordes of enemies are mostly identical to each other, whereas in an MMO every single player model has not only an unique mesh but also unique textures (demaning absurd amounts of VRAM to be able to keep from mem swapping). Modern GPUs are quite good at calculating identical or mostly identical objects in masses, like blades of grass, or hordes of identical enemies.

That’s why GW2 runs fine when there are no other players around, but starts to choke when there are more players on the screen. Drop your detailed model display count to low or lowest and you’ll see huge improvements in your FPS.

Again, show me an MMO with 100 players on the screen, looking as good or better as GW2 and running better.

you mean that 1gb of vram is absurding? thats the most ive seen in use while playing gw2 (got 2gb on my gpu..)
also the new maps: on old ones i got stable 60fps with 50-70% load. on new ones (started with sc, but on dt/sw its even worse!) its like 30-40 with 99% load. so they are actually making the game more demanding. maps look great and better than old ones? probably. would players – that are not oh-look-i-got-super-expensive-gpu-and-all-sliders-further-than-you-loosers – prefer stable high framerate with slightly worse graphics? i bet they would.

and after HoT announcment it’ll just get worse, as they plan to release even bigger maps. it will be beautiful, no doubt. but at the same time, for majority of players unplayable in higher settings, and on low the game looks just TERRIBLE

the game engine is old. making more detailed content that can give even most powerful rigs chokes without touching the engine isnt the best idea.

Yes they need to do something about it after almost 3 years.

I’ve just built a new pc with a GeForce GTX 970 and when encountering world bosses it evens drop down to around 20FPS…

And that is what I get with a GTX 660ti on world bosses. This game really need some performance improvement…

Yeah the game never really had much GPU issues, this is why nvidia rep has stated multiple times that the game is very CPU bound and thats why they were not releasing any driver optimizations for the game back when it launched.

i experience it other way…my hd7850 is at 100% load most of the time, while my i5 4690k got load around 50-70% on cores at most. on vanilla maps thou i got mostly under 80% gpu load and stable 60fps (limited). on new maps (sc/dt/sw) fps like to drop below 30 and get my gpu crazy hot. id like to know why….

Yeah, same here after like 4.5 k hours. Never seen a precursor outside of MF sadly.

well, ‘only’ 2,3k hours here, thou never seen precursor outside of TP

Ok, title may be a little confusing, but so i am confused.
I got Sunrise right now, and am close to crafting next legendary. If i craft Twilight then make Eternity :
a) bounded Sunrise + not bounded Twilight
b) bounded Sunrise + bounded Twilight
will my Eternity be bounded after crafting?
i dont really care about stat changing or Eternity itself. i’d like to unlock Twilight skin, sell Eternity and grab another legendary.

TL;DR
my experience with ff: downloaded. started. boring starting cutscene (oh noes, pirates..or whatever). it was unskipable or the button was well hidden. when i finally was through it, i was running around city, clicking all these ‘!’ and ‘?’ npcs, scrolling their walls of text, trying to find anything on that useless minimap, getting rid of constantly popping up windows that try to explain something, but fail hard at it. after around 40minutes i closed and uninstalled it. in that time i had no chance to even try battle, cause i got bored. sorry – i felt like in other 100’s generic korean mmo’s, just with FF in title. oh and GUI. its terrible by all means.

gw2: you create character, start with little explanation of story and are already in the heat of battle (ok, the last feature pack seriously ruined leveling experience if you ask me – glad ive leveled my alts on old rules). then things are slowly explained to you while you progress. GUI is simple yet good looking. no need to go into details as its gw2 forums and everyone knows details.

ow kitten . my bad
..
anyone experienced with g2spidy based sheets can possible help me with auto-refreshing?

Hello ! I don’t think there’s any explanation required. Want to craft with profit but bored with calculating everything every time? Want to check if it’s worth crafting yourself for your ascended gear or you’ll be better off with just buying component from tp? This sheet will make your life easier
I double checked everything, but there still may be some mistakes (report in topic if you find any!) so I’m not refunding any money lost Profit cells are calculated with sell tax.
If 500 cooking/jeweler will come with its new materials, I’ll try to update them as fast as possible.

Once upon a time, in a galaxy far, far away..playing a game and unlocking cool hard to get skins was what drove the players to do the things in game to get items that had a sense of accomplishment. You could look at a player, and by looking at him you could tell where he had been, what he had accomplished by the armor he was wearing.
Now its just insert ten dollars and you can be that uber leet guy.

+999999999999

uhm…sorry, but farming gold is just boring. we’re doing it for over 2 years already. they could be bought for bandit crests and however boring farming them is, at least it would keep ppl occupied in new map. now there’s barely any instance where players care about doing events. gold farming still means tp/dungeons/tp flipping.

During season 2 we have gotten 1 full set of weapons (the bug ones) in-game.
During season 2 we have gotten 1 full set of weapons (pact ones) in-store.

At the end of season 2 we will have gotten 6 full armor sets in-game.

soo leyline, chaos and tempest magically never existed right?
6 armor sets?!?! you mean 1 armor set for each weight (with glowing version that cant even be dyed properly)

“I swung a sword. I swung a sword again. Hey! I swung it again.’ That’s great. We just don’t want players to grind in Guild Wars 2. No one enjoys that. No one finds it fun. We want to change the way that people view combat.”

the main problem are tendrils ranged attacks. they spam ridiculous dmg with like no cd…and for story parts, useless npc are the annoyance. no aggro, no dmg, no utility. actually even worse than ranger pets.

lordkrall.7241:

Actually overall I think they have added MORE skins in-game than via the gem-store.

how much did they pay u do spread this bu***?
ingame?
1) fractal weapons (pure rng, impossible to get for unlucky players even after doing 100s of fotm).
2) ascended weapons (not really appealing, not only my opinion. also cloned with particle effect and called teq weapons)
3) few champ box skins of arguable quality
4) sab weapons (recolored twice…)
5) the ugly, totally forgotten by everyone around ambrite weapons (really, i run open world/ dungeons/ some pvp…dont think ive seen anyone with any of them)
6) RECOLORED ta skins…
7) zenith (and pinnacle that are recolored and slightly changed zenith)
8) few seasonal skins (halloween, wintersday)
did i miss anything?
RECOLORS DO NOT COUNT AS NEW SKINS

now
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Black_Lion_Weapons_Specialist
like twice as many…also dont forget that ALL living story character weapons (belinda gs, marjory axe/dagger and others) were gemstore as well.

and for armor its even worse ratio im afraid

dont forget weapon skins! for BL tickets ofc – how else!

Gunsnroll.2657:

Rangers are great, but people who play ranger suck.
Most of the time you’ll get ranger without spotter or FS, and they will camp LB.
So yeah most of rangers will be kicked for that, the thing is, people don’t know ranger can be good, so they won’t bother checking if the ranger has a sword and the required utilities.

aahh this LB stereotype..tell me..in what shortbow or mainhand axe are better? lb is actually good switch for cripple+vuln on fight start, then swap to sword (or even gs if you cant manage to stay alive on sword/whatever)

the biggest problem, that dont want to go away is warrior mentality. lfg is full of 3-4 warriors parties (when 2 is acceptable maximum, best 1 with 2 banners) that i dont even try to join, as its mostly disaster. and noone mentions this on forums

npc selling/buying bloodstone dust comming soon?

Yes, sorry. I had all things that cover metal on heavy armors in mind. Its annoying on both males and females. Coats are major issue for medium (dagger clipping on norns…) and dresses for light (same problem – daggers go all the way through it)
