I'm so disappointed right now guys. I have tried to play GW2 a few times over the past couple weeks and have had nothing but problems with my computer. My poor laptop is well past its prime and breaking down. I have recently gotten a new job (one that is going to be paying way better than anything else I've had) and planned out everything for my own tower build. Come tax season, I'll be pouring all my money into getting a new rig set up. Unfortunately, until then, my PC simply won't let me play with consistency and its more frustration for me then fun when it takes over 15 seconds to load waypoints inside a zone. I can't wait until I can come back to you guys and play my heart out with the family.

If only it was real-life aggro. Its just computer won't work anymore basically. D= Nothing more frustrating than a PC that doesn't perform any longer.

Hard drives?  Power supply?  Those are cheap parts of your new build that you can buy, to band-aid your system until you can get the full build together.

For me, I'm on the same old Duo Core2 potato that I've had since well before GW2 released and my HDD was failing, so I bought a pair of 250g SSDs and a Hybrid 4000g HDD via some NewEgg specials.  Greatly improved my performance and hopefully will get me though until next summer-ish.

Sorry to hear that. Hope your new job goes well, and that maybe you can get something even sooner. :)

We might be able to look at your system and hope point you into the right direction for improving what you have with little cost. If you want to go that route simply post your specs in this thread and we can take a look at what might help you the most. Maybe even some tricks to get more out of what you already have.

I'm playing on a laptop - not something that I can easily upgrade. I'm building a full tower.

Model number: np305e5a-a08us

It was a cheap laptop I at the time bought for school. I've put it through a lot though since I got it.

 

Here is the partlist for the tower I want: http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=21214754

Here is an idea. You might want to try this out for a bit as it will help you limp along and you can use the SSD for later.

1. Grab 1 : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147372&ignorebbr=1&cm_re=PPSSKQFSNFOGMQ-_-20-147-372-_-Product

Thats a good solid SSD thats on sale right now. Much faster speed and you can use it on your new system when your ready to build it. Plus you can build your new system over time and still use your laptop.

2. Now Grab 1 set: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231342 Keep in mind that I wasn't able to find a supported ram list however this should work.

3. Upgrade to windows 8.1 or windows 10. This will reduce your OS ram usage to about 512mb from 2gigs. With the extra RAM up to 8gigs and the new 64bit exe for gw2 you should be able to have much more resources for your system during gameplay. Plus you can take this new key to your new system.  

Summary: SSD, RAM, OS two of the three you will be buying anyway so it's not a complete "off the trail" solution. Give it a few extra software tweaks and it should hold you up for a while.

Already have Windows 10 on this system. And I'm running 64-bit. Its still just super rough. When I was running Windows 7, I didn't have the same loading issues, but I had the hard drive partitioned for 4gbs of ram. Not sure if that's still active since the switch to Windows 10. Maybe that is the issue. Problems did start to occur after the upgrade.

Sounds like the drivers for your RAM drive didn't migrate w/the updgrade. 

I have nothing really to suggest, because while Windows 10 has been playing nicely with my dino-potatoes (including an old Acer laptop) it discarded several of the custom drivers, especially on the laptop.  Just doesn't support that hardware if the vendor doesn't have Win10 drivers (although Win8.1 drivers will work in a lot of legacy cases).  That's actually what Canon suggested to do for my MX860 wireless printer, because they said they have no intentions of providing a Windows 10 driver.  o.O

Actually, I just went and looked, the paging file is still there, so that doesn't seem like its the issue. I could possibly have just burnt out the hardware too. I used this thing hard, for stuff it wasn't necessarily made for.

Update: February 5th, I should be receiving a sizable paycheck and my tax return (double whammy, yay) and be able to buy everything that I need to get this thing up and running. I can't wait to be back with you all.

 

On a side note: Sekk, how did you like that SSHD? Is it a Seagate? (they are the only ones I can find with one) Is it performing well and have you had any issues with it breaking down? A lot of the reviews I've seen have been really down on the lifespan of them.

All right. Got everything but video card and main storage purchased. Got 500 gb ssd for games and boot drive done though. Main storage can be last purchase. :) I'm so excited to finally get back.

good job on getting the parts :) hope to see you back soon I miss ya! I remember building my computer. Ben helped me put it together and I probably wouldn't have it if it weren't for the great advice from family members here. We have a lot of great knowledgeable people in our family.

My luck is terrible. Was all set to be able to finish putting it together Friday, and the CPU came with bent pins and I'll have to wait for a replacement. Looks like it'll be another week. D=
