Just now moving on from the Asura starting zone. I get sidetracked so easily. :lol
Is it expensive?
Have you tried turning reflections a bit down? AFAIK that is the most consuming setting right there. It's a weird thing this game, everyone gets different results even with the same specs.

I can't leave a zone unless I completed the 100% of it. At least for now that is not that hard...lol

Yeah, it took me a bit to find the last POI in the area. That was the only thing holding me back, I couldn't move on without it.

Okay I've decided to really look into my "fps problem".
My settings, as shown above, are set at high/medium, and as you can see, im getting 33fps with my:
Gtx 570
Phenom II 965 @ 3,4 ghz
4gb ddr3 1333 ram
650w corsair psu
Is this normal? My system never gets hot when im playing (it's nowhere near like during BF3-sessions) and that's kinda wierd if you ask me. I mean, shouldn't the system push itself to get the maximum fps, and therefore get hot?
What drivers are you using? I'm using 304.79 (beta) and performance has been stellar. I get a solid 60-80+ in instances and low population areas and 30-50 during large dynamic events or WvWvW skirmishes with tons of players on screen.
Someone mentioned something about these drivers having faulty fan profiles or something but I monitored during over 25 hours of play this weekend using NVIDIA Inspector and never noticed a problem. Rock solid, for me.
Do you have supersampling enabled? That has a pretty decent negative impact on performance.
AMD Phenom X6 1090T BE @ 4.2Ghz
MSI GTX 670 OC
Grand scheme of things no. Also you can go to PvP and you have everything unlocked and you can play with stuff there.
This game has so far lived up and surpassed all my expectations. I am currently running around rhe Asura starting zone as a level 35 norn guardin in full cultural gear looking like a fucking badass
When can you get cultural gear?
Also what's the best dye you've guys found? I got "Silver" which was a nice catch.
Here's me at work right now when I looked up at what time it is, and then of course I realized I still have classes tonight. I just wanna play some GW2.
Yeah, my classes started on saturday, the same day that I was able to play it... ugh
Turned it off compleyely. Gained about 3 fps, nothing more. The funny thing is that i tried, in the same area as the pic, to lower the settings as much as possible as I clicked the "best performance" option, and even then I couldn't get a solid 60fps. It only wet up to 50-52ish. It's really, really wierd.
Im using the 305.67 beta drivers and the best performance option in the nvidia settings menu. Well during WvWvWs i get 15fps during battles. 15. Supersampling off.
Im almost never able to get over 45-50 fps, only in like narrow dungeons, but in a relatively open enviroment, it gets fucked up.
Really annoying, and I don't know what to do.
I really really love the bank collection and usable items in Hero tab features. it is such a huge quality of life improvement.
maybe I missed it, but is there a way to combine bags? (so I see everything as one big grid instead of divided into bags), is there a way to mod the UI at all to do this?

I love the way the bank/bagging system works. Deposit all collectibles, salvage the rest, then deposit all again. The only other MMORPG I played was WoW, and bags were a constant nuisance. In this game I don't really need to be concerned with storage, but maybe that will change later...
Only thing I wish they would do is allow vendors that sell armor/weapons to be able to repair equipment.

It only dawned on me late yesterday to resize the bag window. Before I was annoyed that everything was small and moving stuff around was a pain, and then *light bulb* 'oh wait, I can resize this window, and just made it massive. It's not exactly putting it as all one bag, but it's close enough.
I started last Monday, but I work from 5:30AM, and don't get home from school till 9PM most nights. All my free time is readily going into a new girlfriend too, so this weekend I only got Sunday night for about 3 hours with the game.
How I felt when she told me she wants to hang out all this holiday weekend at her place.

As a Thief, is weaponsmithing worth it? My main is Leatherworking and I have no interest in Jewelry crafting, especially since my wife will be doing that anyway.
I kind of want to replace weaponsmithing with cooking. It looks like a lot of fun.

Speaking of this, what are some good crafts for a necromancer, and for an engineer?
I thought my necro could do:
Tailor(light armors right?) and Jewelcrafting
Engineer could do:
Weapon smith
Leather work
It's based on your "skill level" according to the in-game NPC, which I assume correlates to your level. I'm lvl32 and re-traiting would cost me a little over 1 silver. Relative to the areas I'm at in the game and the kind of money I come across, that's cheap. I assume it would be an immaterial amount at low levels as well.
Try turning down your reflections to Terrain & Sky. I got a pretty significant boost when I did that.
You dont loose any progress by switching trades. It does cost some money to do the switch, but it isn't too expensive.
Hey guys I'm back up! Ahhh, a good rest.
How is everyone doing? Addicted yet?

That's true. I thought I read somewhere that it was like 30-40 silver though? Does it scale with your profession or crafting level? That seems like a lot of money for me right now. >_<

Wasn't really feeling my Mesmer main but I just equipped a new greatsword and all of a sudden he got way more interesting. Got a little bit of AoE now, a knockback, and good damage output. Definitely my favourite of the weapon skills so far.
This is a fairly noob question but are there any benefits to joining a Guild if all I'm primarily going to play is the PvE stuff? The WvW stuff sounds cool but as it is right now I'm far too green for this type of game to be of any help in that.
I don't want to say that I'm a casual player, but there's no way I could put in the kinda time that some of you guys have put in to far. I'm also fairly noobish to MMO's in general but I'm really digging this one. So I guess what I'm asking is, once the guild invites are working would there be any benefit for me to join the gaf guild and vice versa?

I really like greatsword for playing by myself, and staff for groups. The group buff/enemy debuff circle is amazing.
Did you try out the Necromancer? My mesmer experience was similar to yours, wasn't feeling it too much until I found a greatsword which made things quite a bit better, but still nowhere near the fun I'm having on my Necro (and Engineer too, to a lesser extent).

Been playing my Asura Engineer called Brewnell most of the day, im enjoying this so far, a bit of a change to the standard mmo fair. Not sure if the great IKB would like me altering his name and being a little purple-ish dude with a big black afro though.
I've been banned, motherfucker!
I am indeed the legend son. But that is another story.
What's in your backpack?
I'm pretty sure that is slower EXP than actually adventuring though. It's slow but steady EXP, but it's still slower. And absolutely BORING.

Well I knew you were banzored, but now that you have returned, update us in OKC for you and the woman.
Hopefully we can hit up some GW2 together now that it's out and we both have it wooh.
Yep, it is indeed slow, and once you level up enough, you'd be behind on items.

None of that, Guild gear is way too expensive for me at this point.
If nothing else, it's just a nice social hub, guild chat will be helpful, people giving away items to those who need it, and it's just an extra layer of social activity in the game, same with being on Mumble and chatting with others and enjoying the best part about an MMO, the people!
