Amnytas and the Wizard's Tower are just terribly optimized

EzyQzy.8620 replied to Zekent.3652's topic in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

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.

So 5 min in a chair and you are in character select now?

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.

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 😆

New afk timer affecting tonics

EzyQzy.8620 replied to wolfie.2841's topic in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

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.

AFKers in Convergances.

EzyQzy.8620 replied to Wwefan.4982's topic in Instanced Group Content

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.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE MOUNTS?????

EzyQzy.8620 replied to Quasidivine.2591's topic in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Mounts are great on pre PoF content and very fun to use. On newer maps (even PoF) they made it so you don't get to enjoy it too much.

Are we stuck on Umbriel?

EzyQzy.8620 replied to Datriman.6714's topic in Instanced Group Content

This is intentional, gonna Umbriel forever. Umbriel is also designed so you fail.

How the new daily system in Wizards Vault reduced my enjoyment of GW2 [Merged]

EzyQzy.8620 replied to CoyrmGreybeard.1746's topic in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

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 😄

Silverwastes meta counted as Echovald meta for weekly

So this one of the nicer bugs.

Skyscale Collection doesn't make sense (if you already own one)

EzyQzy.8620 replied to SpyderArachnid.5619's topic in Secrets of the Obscure Discussion (Archived)

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 🤣

Beautiful maps!

EzyQzy.8620 replied to Farohna.6247's topic in Secrets of the Obscure Discussion (Archived)

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 😅

Why the namechange of Commander?

EzyQzy.8620 replied to Krinstin.6287's topic in Lore

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 😄.

Rift are boring

EzyQzy.8620 replied to Cuks.8241's topic in Secrets of the Obscure Discussion (Archived)

The Rifts itself I don't really mind, it's going to them that I hate.

Everyone is talking about the rewards. One thing that this new daily killed is the social aspect of the old PVE dailies. Daily map events brings people together and have them talking on map chat, same with daily jp, mini dungeon and world boss.
