Last I checked, they were not researchable, only salvageable. But I can check, I have no use for astral acclaim. Sec. Looks like they may have updated it, it shows research now. I am not on the free trial though, would be curious if free trial accounts aren't researchable: https://i.ibb.co/1vTSWm2/image.png

You'd have to sadly stat change them. The cost of the stat change varies but its more or less 2.5 gold or so. You will get anywhere from 250 to 1000 notes from it, depending on your luck. Getting the 1000 one is like winning the lotto. The most average amount is around 350. Yes, I salvage a lot of ascended stuff, Lol. Inventory and bank full of those things. The easiest way to tell if something is salvageable by research is by reading the last tip of the tooltip. It will say "Salvagable: Ascended, Research" at the bottom. If it doesn't say "Research", you need to stat change it and it will say it after.

I left GW2 because "I stayed from GW2" does not meet my grammar kitten standards.

Go to settings, graphics options and set the frame limiter to 60 if possible and test again. You may want to check your GPU clocks as well using a tool like MSI Afterburner, etc. If you haven't done it already, set a fan profile for your GPU (You should do this regardless of what games you play). But as others have mentioned, we would need more information to help ya out.

I am OK with it, but the amount of damage in the current meta is through the roof lol and yes, I am guilty of it, I do play a full power Scrapper and can kill most players before they can react. But still, this shouldn't be possible IMO

If you've put that much time into those items, I say you may have some insanely unrealistic expectations of an expansion of any kind. But even so, SOTO has the new sets of legendaries and several collections you can or could be working on, while the next phase comes in the next patch.

Next, we're gonna blame Biden for the gem prices lol

Dislike, don't go down this path.

Even if they are a "flaw", I find the shorts version looks much better when combined with certain chest pieces. I'd hope they make both available to everyone at some point, its basically a free skin, locked for unknown reasons to me.

Is there a reason why so many items are shorts on medium armor but the heavy and light variants turn into weird skirts? See: Sanctified Leggings and Foefire Legwraps for example. Could you at least make the two variants available to all armor types? Thank you

Drop some names, I wanna go test them. I am legit curious by the way, not poking fun. Having played so many MMO's, I have not found any that can keep 60 FPS with 50+ players active, without dropping settings.

First, make sure you are not running Blish, for some reason several guildies had problems with Amnytas meta like you but as soon as they uninstalled it and other addons, it began to work without any issues. The only addon I can confirm personally that works, is the Unofficial All in one Addon with arcDPS. Secondly, try clearing your cache, it can greatly improve your performance and also gets rid of old junk:

Your expectations are unrealistic. DE meta can have between 50 to 100+ players, even with that setup, you will still tank with all of those animations going on. You will want to lower your char model to medium and char limit to lowest to get 60 FPS in those situations. No MMO can handle what you're asking, not WoW, nor FF14 and both are older than GW2.

Safe to say, its affecting a lot of players. Login and authentication server seem to be down.

Thank you for all the suggestions mate. I did a last restart after doing the repair and clearing the cache and it finally opened! Now lets see if it lasts. https://i.ibb.co/0BRKj3t/image.png

Repair did not change anything, I found a reddit with info on how to clear the cache, but that also did not change anything. Starting to wonder if its somehow related to one of the hotfixes from some days ago. Seems clearing cache stopped the error from poping up, but now the Vault doesn't load anything at all, image on link. https://i.ibb.co/R6k1vK0/image.png

Thank you for all the suggestions, by the way. I do not use Chrome normally no, but I did launch it just now and cleared all history. I use Edge consistently, only change I ever did to it was several weeks back, this issue started 2-3 days ago, but I cleared its history and data as well to be safe and changed the setting I adjusted back to normal. I am running a repair right now, let ya know how it goes. I am not sure how to clear the cache of the game, though.

Started happening about 2-3 days ago. Initially, it would just take time and it'd open eventually. But now, it just flat out returns the error. I tinkered with the firewall and other stuff, resetting modem/router and checking for any blocks but... nothing. Also removed my login entries from the anet account, to force it to ask for two step authentication but that also did nothing.

Ran a small ping test to it too.

Thats what I get when I go to that page

Same exact issue as you. Did you find a solution?

I keep getting a constant "timed out error" message, no code, nothing.

Mine keeps getting timed out, I can only open it on rare ocassions.

No, its not. You just don't understand how games work. DE meta can often have 100+ players not counting mobs and other things happening around you. If you have ever played with simulation games that tax the CPU heavily to conduct tests, you'd understand. At 50+ players, most MMO's will tank because of how many animations, random skills and buffs/debuffs, etc is going off at once. The fact that people can get 40 FPS with common builds in these situations is a miracle as it is. Get a better PC, optimize your settings to best match the situation and move on.

i5 9600k and an RTX 3070Ti here, running at 150-200 FPS in SPVP and every dungeon/raid/strike with mostly maxed out settings. Several open world metas I drop to 40-70 depending on the population. Usually if less than 50 players, I stay over 70 FPS, if more, drops to 40-50 or so. The question here is, what CPU and GPU are you using and are your expectations based on your settings realistic? Cause even with my old toaster PC running a 780Ti and an even older CPU (Was an i7 3700 I think), I was still getting decent FPS so long as I dropped character model to medium and char amount to lowest. Heck, this game even runs on the Steam Deck and outside of crowded areas, I get 45-60 FPS on that, so long as I keep things on medium or lower.
