By your thinking you never need to buy pof because you can just play core with restrictions. I stopped playing on characters with less bag space a while ago because it was a shore till anet introduced unidentified gear to all of Tyria.

True

OK alot of people here seems to never needed to spend gems or buy a bag slot, fine.I think you people probably will be fine with the build templates as they are announced. So why are so shouting no for an OPTIONAL sub so people like me who need more build template space and other spaces if it won't change your gameplay at all? Stating once again only in a perfect world where anet won't fuck over their customers and change current stuff to make it worse without a sub.

How would you feel about them deliberately restricting future QoL updates to the subscription? Or deliberately creating problems so they can offer a paid solution? thats already the case take a look at build templates?

Yeah I get that but we are already at a place where the game is unplayable if you don't spend a kitten ton of money. Of all the ridiculous kitten spouted on the forums over the past 4 days, this statement ranks.Congrats @kharmin.7683 said: Ok plebs tell me how enjoyable it is to start gw2 now with buying pof and dont spend any gems on 1 bag space, 2 char slots 3, shared inventory slots, 4 bank spaces, 5 material storage, 6 living world chapters.For someone who played the game for 7 years and spend some gems over the years or just used the time grinding it out its fine but for new players? no way. New players get a TON of content for 20-25 bucks (if not on sale, which makes it cheaper) with no subscription fee. Show me any other MMORPG on the market which does the same. If a new player applied a basic subscription approach of 10-20 bucks per month, they'd have all the convenience items they need within half a year. After which they could again go back to not spending a single dollar/Euro/etc on the game.thats not the topic, and i agree with you btw.

That is obviously a problem which needs some though beforehand.

To make things clear I don't want anet to scuff the existing stuff more so more people pay a sub.

Yeah I get that but we are already at a place where the game is unplayable if you don't spend a fuck ton of money.

Is it a fresh installation of Windows? Check your power settings to make sure it is on 'balanced' and not 'power saving' mode. Choose slider to 'best performance'. Yes ofc, as I stated every other game got performance gains.Iam using the dx12 patch atm and the game runs like a modern game now ? Hey, I'm considering the new Intel 9900KS or AMD 3950x. Could you please show your FPS after you use DX12 patch with 3900X? Does the programme help CPU utilize all of its cores?I'm currently using Intel 8086k OC@5.1Ghz all cores but I still want the best...If you only play gw2 stick with your 8086kIf you do any productive work and want get the best of the best switch, tell me where I should share my fps? What settings and which area.

Hey, I hope anet sees this thread. So basically my idea is an optional subscription for gw2 for convenience stuff like: Unlimited build and gear templates or atleast give us an incredible high cap.Increased bag size / bank size / material storage size.previous lw chapters are fully accessible even tho you didn't catch them at release while you are subbed.maybe some unique cosmetic stuff?Keep in mind that it's still bad as a customer to pay for all this stuff but while some of us are still engaged enough to pay for a sub like this but are not willing to spend hundreds of euro for a build template system that doesn't work in high end pve.

That trailer is fucking hype, good job teapot.

Imo global would be great if the ping were ok.Not sure why it was working great in gw1 but is not possible in gw2.

Hey, is it possible that that we get the release wallpaper in higher resolution like QHD 2560 × 1440 and 4K 3840 × 2160.I love the wallpapers but they look mushy on my screen because we only get the full hd variant of it.Latest wallpaper is so great ?

Hi! Are you running, your ryzen processor in Ryzen High perfromance mode? if not please try it. Windows button -> select energy scheme(mirror translation from hungarian) -> then change it from balanced to high perfromance, if you are not seeing ryzen high perfromance or ryzen balanced only just the 3 basic energy modes then google the problem Hi yes ofc i do that,, temps are also completely fine, it’s properly the gw2 engine which is the bottleneck. Overall my low 1% gone up in gw2 but it’s still really sad that sometimes Iam only getting 40 FPS when the cpu sits at 20% and the gpu at 45%. Intresting indeed, on my 3700x im seeing 260 fps :/ What, how and where? Can you please post your settings + a screenshot of your FPS, sorry I can’t believe any cpu can handle gw2 at 260 fps Settings and fps on image Pc Specs: CPU: Ryzen 3700x constant 4.2ghz RAM: Kingston Predator 3200mhz rbg HX432C16PB3AK2/16 16gb MOB: Gigabyte Gaming wifi 7 GPU: Currently not available for general customers(you wont find info about it), but i can confirm this fps on my beloved gtx 760 direct CUII Image: https://imgur.com/m9U312nOk dude i get you, but wtf looking at literally nothing while set everything to the lowest doesn't mean you get 260 fps at normal gameplay.For example ofc i can get the same fps by doing the same stuff looking at nothing, that is not the point of my post because i want the game to be more optimised overall and not when i look at nothing.Check top left corner for fps.

totally off topic but i hope not

OK guys I didn't want to start another Intel vs AMD war.As I stated in my first post in every other instance I've got a higher performance than before. Now I want to know if anet is working on this, can they even provide a solution or is it that I can't buy any CPU in 2019 that can run gw2 smooth all the time? And if not in what year is it possible to run gw2 smooth that it doesn't drop to 30 fps.

No, they wouldn't. Direct3D is an API, it's a standard of how the game engine talks the GPU, without it the GPU would not know what to do with the information or calls being made. A game engine covers everything, porting a game over to DX12 does not mean a full engine rewrite. That is not to say it is easy, or just a simple click of a button, but more than doable. However GW2 used DX9 when DX11 had already been out for some time, and DX10 was already end of life, the main reason they stuck with this was xbox of the time used a modified version of DX9, so porting the game over to it would be very simple (read cheap). And even after launch they had plans to release on xbox, they then came to realize that they were never going to get the performance needed to release there, as unlike PC, to release something on xbox means you have to hit given performance metrics with very limited HW, and they are not even willing to put in the time and money to optimize the game for PC with higher end HW no less xbox. They are used, cores are not threads. A single thread can use up to a full cores clock cycles, however the OS and mobo can move that load around, it does this so a single core doesn't get super hot or taxed, so it spreads it over many physical cores. If only a single core was used until it was 100% and then moved on to the next, those first cores would jump in temp and boost clocks are based on temps, so it would end up reducing the clock speed on that core, actually hurting performance. Some programs can lock them selves to a single physical core, but doing so yourself will not gain you anything unless there are some bugs or very VERY old software. Upgrading to the new AMD from a 6700k was, honestly pointless for GW2 and just about any other game, if you wanted higher gains, you should have OCed the 6700k. As the 6700k is about the same single threaded performance as the 3900x, as shown by almost all gaming reviews of the CPU, where it only gains ground in DX12 games over the 6700k, as DX12 can make use of the extra cores. With that said, you should not be seeing "performance drop a lot", it should be about the same. Was the 6700k OCed? Are you sure you have all the settings the same? Do you have screens of the fps you were getting on the old PC? If so, have you gone to the same location with the same settings, looking in the same direction and see what your FPS are? What are the temps on your CPU? Yeah same settings, gpu and ram was used with my old cpu.The 6700k had a max oc of 4.8 ghz but most of the time it was at 4.2 ghz because of heating problems lately.The Benchmarks i did back than were with 4.2 ghz.My Benchmark area was in Amnoon looking at the water and some rocks basically, take a look at the screenshot below.With the 6700k ive got 120 fps there now iam getting 82 fps. IPC of the 3900x is higher at the same clock speeds than a 9900k and again higher than a 6700k and the new 3900x is clocking around 4.1 - 4.3 ghz atm. But i need to note while my high fps are less now my low fps are way up, playing the boss event atm i get higher fps ive normally did with 6700k, the whole gameplay feels smoother overall.

GPU and CPU are both used barly.I also have discord and chrome with multiple tabs including twitch in the background.Why is the Game not using the available resources, i get it it can only handel 4 (?) cores but somehow they are not even used at full potential.

Hello, I switched today from my 3 year old intel core I7 6700k to a brand new AMD Ryzen 9 3900x.My problem is, performance dropped a lot.In other applications i got performance gains or atleast the performance wasn’t noticeable worse. Is there any workaround or is there a optimization patch planned?I tried to assign the cores separately to gw2 but that didn’t help.

Just another info, same is happinging in gw1 now with the newest windows patch :)

FYI: Workaround is to play Gw2 in Windowed Fullscreen.But i think fps are a little lower in this mode.

Reinstalling Gw2 dident help, created a ticket for this.
