Guild Wars 2

Yeah good idea, instead 3 dyes you can just put one unidentified dye.

Yes it will maybe in zergs you will see some decreased performance but the rest you will get pretty much maxed. Now don’t wait and get in game!

Today I also had extreme lag spike from a smoke from centaur catapult near the garrison where the tutorial takes place, the smoke cloud was huge and lasted quite a while compare to other same effects, my 40 fps were down to like 2.

I was posting about fps issues like 2 months ago. Nobody from Anet ever got any interest in it so I stopped playing. Just trying the game from time to time but it’s optimisation is driving me crazy I just can’t play with 60 fps suddenly going to 5 fps just because I look in different direction. Also I know cities are crowded etc, but really the fps shouldn’t differ from like 150 fps outside to 30 inside. it’s just a bad engine which is poorly coded cannot handle so much stress in cities where npcs and players are constantly moving.

I’m in same situation and my questions keep getting ignored by anet. Tbh they ignore everyhting that has anything to do with technical stuff. I guess they may have some problems getting cash for technical personel from ncsoft as all that company cares is cash for themselves. Most posts are ignored, my bug reporting is getting ignored for like 5 months. There is no optimisation being done to this game whatsoever.

Devs please, fact that game has high minimal requirements doesn’t mean it’s good it means you have lazy programmers, because I saw better graphically games which are more optimised, also I would play am uglier game just because it’s better optimised then a beautiful game at 15 fps.

Don’t listen to them and try to, I have gt320m and i5 430m in 5 year old laptop and it runs smooth 21-56 fps in pve 15-30 in wvw zergs.

Because gw2 is all about zergs.

This game is badly optimized and CPU heavy so make sure your CPU is working on max when game is on. I get better fps on a 5 year old laptop with gt320m I get spiked from 15 to 45 fps in pve without AA and reflections rest on max. Many people were asking for some game techincal updates but we got only one update that removed culling in WvW. Rest stays same as beta. 9 months nothing…sob

I don’t care who wrote it a nvidia employee or my grandma all of those statements are correct. There was almost no patch that covers any techincal issues. The engine flaws are most visible on low end computers. When I look into sun I get like 10 fps when I look the other way I get 45 with all high except reflections! Really? I mean this sun isn’t so awesome…. In southsun cove my fps drop is extreme, from around 30 with 30 limiter and vsync to about 15.

There is also nice notice nobody from Anet ever responded to any thread about techincal polish, they made a funny guide to improve fps that does really nothing and this guide feels like written for people who don’t know what vsync is for.

Even if they would respond they would just say that they never heard about it I guess.

Really making all those story patches is not enaugh to make mmo a great game, actually it’s second after a nice polished graphics engine.

I really loved the GW1 series and also had respect for them making the game, it’s system requirements were absurd for such amazing graphics, but this time it looks like they made system requirements like gta 4 which was one of most poorly ported games in history.

A BIG juicy +1kk to this thread.

Very cool idea! I mean the amount of effort you put in inventing all those things is awesome man! I didn’t think about any new class so far but this looks really cool! +1

Loved fishing in wow especially on those lazy days so +1.

Very nice idea, pity anet won’t do anything with it as with most of the suggestions but +1 to you.

Just to say as I read this forum I see that there are like 1k+ threads about FoV issues, latest patch fps issues, dungeon finder, and all the stuff we call technical stuff without a single post from Anet, that is unacceptable, the lack of answers from the official Anet staff on this forum looks bad and this issue was knows in beta events too (20 mins after server crash we knew it crashed). If you want to be a Blizzard class company making best game on market it shouldn’t look like that. So I would suggest Anet you just make one big patch with the fixes on optimisation (the fps drops in some places in the world are just not acceptable especially that there is nothing special in those places like inside the tavern in the starting area I get like 10 fps drop), dungeon finder, FoV and combine all those things players suggest into one big patch, instead rushing living story all the time. That would show players that you repect them and listen to them instead making some nice but minor changes. The game needs some fixes from start and so far I can see only small fixes mainly in numbers (rewards from champs, dungeons etc) not in really important matters.

Also I suggest you make some changes to your forum staff, cause really there is reasong why FoV and fps based issue threads have 20k more views then any other. We needs changes to the game that really matter. So far it looks like all your money goes for the living story staff and this is bad. I think we also need some tweaks in personal story. Maybe add some chapters with every living story or something, maybe make some alternative ways to complete it. Persoanlly after I completed it once I never again got any interest in it, because it never changes. If you wanna make a living world you have to look at small people not on the whole world only. You need to make it more enjoyable to be in this game as a character, not only zergfest. World bosses are boring as hell. They are no challenge to anyone who at least completed them once. They never change. They are dead, boring farm like raid finder in wow, and well I thought you wanted to get rid of such stuff. I want also to add that I don’t say this game sucks cause it’s really good game in it’s genre. I would place it arm to arm with WoW in terms of quality and this is saying something for a game that’s one year old.

So please anet hear the players. Respond to them make them feel like they can change this game, they have a real impact on it because this is what would make this game feel alive!

They should make the heart rewards look different for every race area because now on low levels all eles, warriors and everyone looks completely the same except colors.

1.The optimisation sucks really bad I mean it takes me like 10 fps from medium shadows to high and guess what I see no difference.

2.The patches do nothing else then new content and some minor skill difference I really don’t even care about (I play warrior and when I read them its like “oh yeah I got 10% there cool -.-”).

I would love to see some REAL improvements to the gameplay, like an LFG tool finally that they are working on for ages.

The same answer from admins for like 3 months (yeah 3 months people are complaining about optimisation and Arenanet didn’t really care) just saddens me even more.

I would love to enjoy the game more but I just can’t. After making 1 lvl 80 char with 77% map complete the world just feels smaller not bigger. It’s like yeah now we tele there to kill a dragon that isn’t even a challenge, just pure zerg and get some weapons nobody needs with 0.00001% chance to get a better piece of gear. Imho they should make those bosses harder to beat but drop better loot cause after killing claw of jormag for like 25 times it doesnt really feel epic at all. Make it harder, more fun and just make it a challenge in order to do it! While doing those bosses I don’t feel like I’m playing gw2 but like I’m in old wow system where I just click 1 button till everything dies and move on to next wave. I mean it’s really boring.

I’m a casual player not a hardcore one so for me the thing that would keep me playing game is that every time I get into it I can do something FUN (except structured pvp which is fun) for like 1 hour or so in decent fps with some nice rewards for it. But if I would like better rewards I must do something bigger, longer, harder hey I’m ok with that! I don’t mind a REAL challenge if I wanna get a legendary weapon for example. Not just getting kittenloads of money for AGES and pay for it. I would like to kill some bosses for it, give legendary weapons a real story! Like with Prince Ruriks sword! Make some solo instances for players to complete in order to get them. That would be really FUN not just boring grind! Really GW1 was so much better on the PvE part for me that it saddens me they made it so dull here.

Also please Anet give low level weapons some love and at least those that have name give different skins. Cause for like 1-30 I was wielding many daggers but they didn’t differ AT ALL. Give us some FUN looking swords and shield and all the stuff like when you get a weapon from a fruit merchant they look like fruits or something like that. I don’t expect to get a legendary looking sword at lvl 2 quest reward but really NAMED weapons should really have different skins than “dagger of something”.

Greyalis.2309:

people love collecting things. period. and mounts is a big part of that. without mounts, the world isn’t really working to the extent that it REALLY is working.

the people kittening about mounts would be the people imagining the idea of some genius dev in arenanet that said “no mounts” who may or may not exist saying “mounts are lame” and smiling down on all the kitteny people as if they are a part of some known gw2 hegemony of “real gw2 players” that really doesn’t exist.

once mounts are implemented, these people will reflect back on “the good ole days” of gw2 when we had to reach LA via a waypoint “uphill in the snow both ways.”

Well said.

So this how it works, they implement mounts, people kitten about it and then everyone gets them, more of them less of them but everyone. It’s like that with everything-achievements, armours anything, People love collecting things that are rare, and that’s why WoW has mounts, that’s why we had minis and rare armors in gw1. Not to mention they make life easier (faster travel) so not getting an occasion is stupid not wise.

Yeah it would be great to have more skills both utility and weapon. After making your way to level 80 I got really bored of the same skills all the time.

Better incease the time of buff in dungeons, or just make food bound to time of dungeon you’re in. Like you suggested you would eat all food you have because your character would eat till all food is gone or die of obesity.

The low level armor and most high level too are just completely 3 same sets with different names, exception are dungeon armors and weapons. Well at low level EVERY dagger looks the same and this applies to most weapons armor which isn’t fun at all.

I wish you could mount charr….

Really well said. This game has nice graphics but really they aren’t better then most modern games we can see and most modern games are far better optimised then Guild Wars 2. I mean I know you get cash from Nvidia and those companies if you make games for their best cards only but meh players are more important imo.

Haters in Guild Wars are just the same as wow, you don’t like having no mounts go to wow, you don’t like events go play wow. Pointless discussion with such stupid people. Go play LoL with such attitude (I like LoL but the community is painful).

I liked mounts a lot in WoW but I don’t need them here- that’s for the topic.

I didn’t even notice the daily notice there I mean it’s so small…

I recently was watching a channel on youtube which has some nice stuff about Guild Wars 2 and I came about a video which really shows my feeling about this game. To say from start I love GW2 and I would even pay a monthly fee for it if it had one. Now we have living story which is cool but mostly on max levels. We have extreme amount of cool dynamic events which are really amazing. I mean i say this cause I mostly get pointless answers like you don’t like dynamic events, go play WoW, you kittening about living story being not permanent cause you’re just another guy who wants to farm your way to the top. But really I am not. I used to play WoW a lot I admit. But again I love GW2 and I will keep playing it, due to my studying and work I can not play so much here to make all the living story achievements or even try all the new dungeons, puzzles and minigames.

So I used to wander a lot lately around the game world making alts, playing a bit main but after I made my main almost world completionist (77%) it’s really hard to find a place to make alt and not feel like a mindless zombie just getting some things (I don’t even read what things) to make the heart and so on. That’s where I watched this video I mentioned and it really spoke the words I coudn’t find, so there it is:

Do you sometimes feel the same way, like arenanet made this extremely big and DETAILED world and many details are just passed because they have just visual purpose. Devs are just telling us they will do BIGGER events taking place in all world instances but really I miss the little stories, the little quests I should name them that made the areas so distinctive in many more traditional mmos.

As I said I don’t hate GW2 as I’m biggest fan, played all betas and was really excited about almost everything they put in game, but that’s just my few words what could be implemented to make this game better. I hope you will all tell me if I’m alone here or maybe there are more people feeling this way, and if so maybe Arenanet will hear about this.

So today I wanted to do the sample collecting achievements in southsun as I had some free time to relax but found that I cannot get the sample collector from researcher Levvi anymore. Does that mean that again I’m “late” for gw2 content which kinda starts to be annoying. I didnt get two achievemnts from Flame and Frost and couldn’t do them anymore. I mean ok it’s living wolrd and so on but I guess not everyone can play every month and just get the achievements which are for them fun to play. It’s just creating elite playerbase who spend all time in gw2 farming everything and leaving the weekend players without a way to do them. I seen many people who stated that if I am a weekend player I shouldn’t worry about achievements. I don’t agree because everyone really is different some weekend players just like doing relaxing achievement runs and stuff like that. Also it’s not saying you shouldn’t worry about achievements if you are a weekend player. I says you can’t get achievements anymore if you are a weekend player while so fast changing content and making it inaccessible after one month is just riddiculous. I understand wintersday etc cause they happen every year but so many achievements that happen only once per game and you cannot get them anymore is really bad idea for me.

To conclude I would suggest to make a historian-like npc or something from which you can get back in time and do those achievements.
