Guild Wars 2 client can't handle complex map design with high poly models and high res textures. The engine is old, but been optimized and update for latest DirectX but the problem remains. Basically, it is an old engine that needs complete rewrite from scratch. Having the latest CPU & GPU will not and cannot improve the performance

This was not a problem in core Tyria, but has since been an issue since HoT. HoT is where Anet decided to design complex maps and structures disregarding any performance hits those maps entail. That is the crux of the problem: Anet keeps designing complex maps designs knowing all too well that their engine cannot handle them.

Not going to bother reading the backwards and forward arguements, but this is just to let people know that earlier today I went to Lake Doric to do the Return to season 3 stuff and there were no rangers/necromancers/revenants or engineers at the spot that you usually find them at. None at all!

Of course, but history has shown that it is temporary. Only a real amateur would immediately resume afk farming after Anet put their anti afk measures. Some are laying low, some who got banned are regrouping and resetting, some are figuring things, observing, etc etc. The fact that Anet can't figure out AFK farmers from BRB players means the botters have something to latch on.

And just like the last time, THEY WILL BE BACK.

So, the whispers from the GMs are automated? Who knew!

Oh sure they do that, sometimes.

Just like AFK farmers press some actual keys, sometimes.

AFK farmers use bot or macros to farm. Too lazy to manually farm.

Anet uses automation to check for AFK farmers/botter. Too lazy to manually check.

They have something in common 😆

Lots of bugs involved in being idle.

Does Anet still have QA or play testers? It seems the players are now doing most of the bug reporting that should have been easily caught during development.

Also, AFK and BRB are not the same. For the Pro AFK farmers, defeating the timer is super easy and barely an inconvenience, and the players who BRB are the ones who get punished.

You can't really know they are afk. Sure they are not moving, but that is not enough to judge their afkness. They might be doing something else game related: chatting, inventory, tp, observing since it's their first time, etc etc.

Quite common for some to be afk (ie watching Youtube) while playing, but that says more about the game being boring or got boring for playing the content too many times.

The real challenge is game design: to design meta or whatever that is not very boring and can accomodate the lazy players . Auric Basic is great example: no one really cares if you afk or not, even trolls can only do so much to make it fail. Even if the meta fails, most players just let it go and move on.

Implementing anti afk mechanics is useless, since like I said they are not really afk and more like lazy, and lazy players will always find a way to abuse the system.

I myself have not logged in much after finishing the story.

Nothing is fun in SotO, even EoD was not fun. I abandoned EoD when getting the turtle was such a waste of time. Even when turtle strike requirement was purchasable, I still did not bother with the turtle 😆

The most fun I had was PoF, that is were GW2 peaked IMO. Now, I feel I'm just passing time just doing things. GW2 needs some major GOOD changes for me to consider playing it again like I used to.

Anyway, I might try Baldur's Gate 3, I heard that is a great game 😄

it has been proved the Commander is the world's biggest idiot so...

Hahaha true.

You are never the Commander, you are the Choremmander (the Commander of chores). Part of your job as Choremander (in this case) is to babysit the egg , spend money to build stuff for it when it grows up, and to hand it over. Your reward? Well another chore (aka achievements) of course 🤣

I prefer core Tyria maps, they are beautiful AND performant, zero frame drops.

Good luck getting a constant frame rate on these new maps. They look good on screenshots tho 😄

Edit: Tested on a 3080, looking at any building = 48 fps 😅

You were a Commander and at the same time a Choremander (since NPC allies always ask you to do mundane things to progress the story).

Wayfinder? Sure, but more like Chorefinder 😄.

Not a fan too.

Skyscale was great everywhere, but not on this new maps since navigation in general is a pain.

PoF is the only real expansion Anet made, and the best in terms of price to content ratio. I know SotO is not done, but this should be a $10 expansion.

Sadly, the good old days are over.

The ony real expansion was HoT and PoF.

For HoT, they have to reduce the price like after a month of release because of lack of content.

PoF was the best expansion in terms of content and price.

EoD was bad, and people did not get their moneys worth. I mean, some people don't even have the turtle mount that they paid for.

So yeah, this is how they are gonna roll from now on. Every year you will pay $25 for an "expansion". I would say this is looking more like a yearly subscription they have implemented.

Had a 5 percent fail last night and the anger and bad feeling in the chat was alarming. Anet needs to understand that this event is causing toxic, negative feelings like no other and that's not good for the community or the game.

Anet knows, and they don't care.

I myself have uninstalled the game, and this is probably my last post. Goodbye everyone!✌️

I lucked into a map with a commander last night and was part of a successful run.

yep. this meta more of a "git lucky" instead of git gud map.
