This was my main issue with beta when I was in it, which was early on.
When you had say 25 people runing the same DE, it became a slide-show.
Has that been addressed? Or is this still prevelant?

I can't say for certain. But there were claims of CPU boundedness in BWE that have been claimed to be fixed. The only true test is to find out for your system.

Kyleran: "Now there's the real trick, learning to accept and enjoy a game for what it offers rather than pass on what might be a great playing experience because it lacks a few features you prefer."

LacedOpium: "So the question that begs to be asked is, if you are not interested in the game mechanics that define the MMORPG genre, then why are you playing an MMORPG?"

Other than stability, I've found the complete opposite.
Performance has increased since the last BWE, and getting zero lag. Although I have changed gfx drivers, which is likely to be a factor. Got everything maxed, with AA, at 1080p. Never drop below 50fps, with vync on. High end rig though, so could also still be a CPU thing.
Was just playing fine with 25+ in a DE... Was actually the smmothest it has ever been.
3.2. quad core, radeon 5850
Playing: GW2, Planetside 2.
Trying out: Age of Wushu
Looking forward to: AA, Wildstar
I have AMD Phenom II x 6 1075T processor. I even got a new ATI video card just in case but guildies told me that it is not my system which is causing the lag. How can i find out if it is my processor?

You need a beefy CPU more than anything to avoid low FPS with this game.
I mid range GPU should work fine... just have a beefy CPU... probably overclocked.
Thanks. That was my main worry, DE's are a big part and if groups caused big lag, what's the point in the game?
The three I play most with will have a Intel Quad 2400/460, the other two are i7 3280's with 660's. Proc wise those are all pretty solid.

A sure sign that you are in an old, dying paradigm/mindset, is when you are scared of new ideas and new technology. Don't feel bad. The world is moving on without you, and you are welcome to yell "Get Off My Lawn!" all you want while it happens. You cannot, however, stop an idea whose time has come.
I actually checked it out. Sat there in the middle of a DE with my options window open so I could see the FPS.
I dropped from 71-to-80FPS to 51-60FPS with my settings on 'high' (including full AA).
I"m still running old video drivers, too. I figured only one issue at a time... The new ones are supposed to give a 10%+ boost.
I just did the Shadow Behemonth fight for the first time and I want to say it was like 30+ or even 40+ people on screen and a lot of things going on everywhere. My settings were on best appearance at 1920x1080 and I think my FPS dipped to about 35 for pretty much the entire fight. I was simply amazed out how responsive and relatively lag free the whole event was.
My normal FPS in the game is roughly 45 to 50ish
I had a little lag during the first hour of head start last night but otherwise it has been smooth sailing
for me (always 60+ fps) even with 25 or more people around doing the same DE 's.

Running I5 overclocked and a very modest ATI 5770 with very high cat settings,just dropped shadows as i do on all Mo's and get a nice steady FPS in multilple DE's with high player density now you tell me is this a beefy PC,cause it's not in my book ?

Personally the only modern MMORPG trend that annoys me is the idea that MMOs need to be designed in a way to attract people who don't actually like MMOs. Which to me makes about as much sense as someone trying to figure out a way to get vegetarians to eat at their steakhouse.- FARGIN_WAR
