@"Derdzvero.7051" said:I don't think the issue is with single core or dx9 or similar limitation.Why? Several reasons:

1/I can hear my coolers, when system is loaded at 100% and fps drops usually happen when both CPU and GPU are sitting at sub 40% load. Frequently even at 10% load.

2/I always check the load when my fps drop significantly suddenly and it's usually without visual justification. In other words sitting idle in Lion's Arch or gathering for North meta at Thunderhead Peaks, for example. There is nothing significantly going on around that can justify 50% fps drop. On the contrary- when fighting starts and I move 10m away, fps go sky high again.

3/during big events the fps drops are combined with lag spikes, which makes me think the issue is server/network related and Anet's servers can't update the clients in real time.

4/lags do NOT happen when there's excessive AoE/flash-bang on the screen, despite my PC being loaded. E.g my HW can cope up with DX 9 kitten around, which is expected.

5/ there are some old games, which are known to be problem children (unreal engine based, Nvidia physics wrong implementation, ambient occlusion issues, etc). I don't think gw2 suffers from those since tweaking settings in game and on driver level will easily confirm that.

5/ i get similar fps, regardless of hw resolution and PC used. E.g only common thing is gw2 client. Same fps range at those places.

6/fps going up & down by 50% just by making few steps in a direction, without changing fov/environment focus.. absolutely ridiculous ;)

In my opinion the issues are:1 the gw2 client is either waiting for server's update or is looped internally by something, caused by skins/effects/animations of non-NPC characters.2 servers are terribly overloaded3 calculations in gw2 client have nothing to do with rendering proximity in game and are busy with something way out of range and interest

4. The worst: within last 1.5y i haven't seen a single attempt and attention from Anet to do something on the topic. Terrible company practice, but I guess it fits with the rest (balance, brainless grind, F key spam gameplay, collections without rewards, etc..)

this has to do with how they handle cache, every single time something big loads like a new zone it completely empty's it's cache, this also happens when you walk around for to long in an area where textures are not used for about 10 minutes.so when you go from zone to zone and back it needs to load it all over again, taking allot more time and effort then if they kept their cache filled till the game is closed.

@Inculpatus cedo.9234 said:Yeah, I don't recall any Devs saying we could be elves or ents.I think sometimes we just 'remember' what we want to remember.

i just remember just fine, i know 100% they said that.

but i already expected this to happen, instead of commenting about the idea ppl derail it and make one single thing into the main objective.

they just made the big mistake in keeping the game on an outdated system, everyone already know 10 years ago that single core CPU's will never get more powerful so games changed tactics in supporting multi core rigs.that's what Anet did wrong, they had an outdated line of thought and now they are stuck with a game based on single core use.

they can still fix this but for what i understand from their statements they made a huge mess of their coding, fixing this would require a total recoding of the core game.it does take a huge amount of time and effort but i am of an opinion that if they do this they can fix allot more than just updating their engine, they can also reorganize their engine so they can add stuff more organized.if it's worth the time and money to do so is all up to Anet and NCsoft.

When the game was in alpha stage they redesigned the sylvari and even while i personally like the early designs i see why they did, they had to look more like a plant and less like an elf.However, they specifically said that they redesigned the race so anyone who wants to play an elf can do so but anyone who wants to play an ent can do that as well.The problem here is that, while we can make some awesome wood and other smaller elf races, we can’t really make a proper ent.

What i propose doesn’t require a different lore (a small bit adjusted but nothing major) and the story can be exactly the same.It does require a bit of refitting the armor, the body model would be different from that of plant sylvari and are a bit bigger. (biggest size equal to norn)

I first got this idea from the master of fantasy books, J.R.R. Tolkien.Back when Lord of the Rings first got on screens i fell in love with it, when The Two Towers showed ents i was sold.Years later Anet came with GW2 and told us about the sylvari redesign so it put a smile on my face.However, when it got released it put a sour taste in my mouth, sylvari can be made elf but in no sense or speech is it an ent.You can have ent-like hair and face styles but when you’re still walking with a human-like plant body it’s just a mask, not an actual ent.

I like to see a bark body with root-like hands and feet, a body type that is thin but long, kind but intimidating.

Ill leave the rest up to you.

Perhaps maybe the first time entering it, it may take 20 minutes to read.

But the annoyance from replaying it, on a daily basis, the 10 minute wait will improve the meta event for everyone.

After playing the meta event, you have to make an active choice to either play the Augury Rock meta for 45 minutes, with the 20 minute delay doing absolutely nothing, or playing something else.

This is a welcome change, thank you ANET for listening to player feedback.

I literally would go get something to eat, take a shower or relieve myself during that 1 20 minute boring wait. So glad that it is gone.

And the worst thing about the Path to Ascension meta, is that you will miss the Casino Blitz meta too.

the issue here is that for PvE, most content drops into one of two categories: repeatable, and not repeatable. It doesn't take a leap of logic to recognize the former is more important.

I am glad that Anet does try to please groups in both camps, but if I had to prioritize, repeatable content will always trump those done once.

repeatable content is exactly that, it repeats.anyone with a little sense of logic would let non-repeatable content have there go on their own pace, if you want to play your repeatable things you can do so at any time.

i tried to find the most child innocent version of this character so remove if not allowed.

i would like to see the black hair style, we currently have one kinda like this but the front part is to the side in-game while this one is straight down.

and this is why i am hating META's more and more, they take priority over everything else while ruining the gameplay of others.

armors don't have different rigs, they are simply limited per weight class.one reason why they don't want this is because of PvP reasons, another is glitch reasons.the first one is already solved, in options you can select genetic armors so enemies can be ID'ed by their armor.the second one already happens without this, even the core armors glitch within each other.

i think the biggest problem is the amount of work behind it, their engine is already messy enough that they have a hell lot of work to ad one single armor piece, imagine redoing every single armor skin in the game.

@"Kabuki Theatre.9752" said:And how Exactlywould it "ruin the game."?Seems to me other MMOs have not been"ruined"by having flying mounts that act just like real birds.

actually Blizzard has acknowledge that the worst thing they did is adding flying mounts, they now have to work even harder to make maps not hide certain stuff.GW2 can get away with it because they are small maps, WoW is a true open world so flying, no matter how handy it is for players, trivializes zones.Anet already kept that in mind, the maps are already small, making you able to just fly over everything trivializes the maps entirely.

i am not even gonna bother with the skyscale or the warclaw so that's why the low tier.

@sorudo.9054 said:the reason why ppl use the griffon more is because no one is able to unlock the skyscale and to borrow one you need to get to specific places, allot of ppl already have the griffon so to not use them is simply not viable.

I see, and understand, of course.However I am hearing a lot that because the Skyscale's abilities are so limited - there are a lot of people who are remarking that the map is easy enough to use with a griffin, so how is Skyscale relevant? Climbing walls doesn't seem like a useful enough ability when you already have a springer with high jump height, and a Griffon that can already reach high altitudes.

The problem is that: The abilities that the Skyscale has, have already been accomplished by other maps.

well, since literally no one has ever unlocked the masteries yet, you can't really judge till it's reviewable.
