Problematic: Plug-ins (if ANet disapproves, the developer of the app can land in hot water, and, more rarely, its users).

No issues: Websites, external tools, overlays, OS utilities.

(among many others).įurther clarification: using my terminology: This includes a DPS meter, a build template loadout tool, a 'choose your mount' tool, and a 'pretend the game uses DX12' tool.

Plug-ins: These are the ones that can't be officially discussed in the forums, as they insert themselves into code the game executes (i.e.

For example, creating a macro for your mouse to press is fine setting it up to deploy a turret and blast it. As long as you don't use these to 'automate' your game play, they are fine.

OS Utilities: This includes macro software and anything that works on your computer, not your game.The most important of these is GW2 Tactical Overlay (GW2 TACO). Overlays: These don't interact directly with the game they just use the mumble|GW2 echo-location API to place you on the map.These include trading sites (GW2 TP, GW2 BLTC, GW2 Profits), fashion|skin sites (GW2 Wardrobe Analyzer, GW2 Fashion, GW2 Dye Job), and comprehensive sites (GW2 Efficiency, GW2 Timer). As long as they rely on GW2's API, they are fine. Websites & Tools: these don't interact at all with the game.Moreover, 'add on' is a generic term that encompasses a variety of utilities: that's on the player, not on ANet to fix). ANet hasn't changed its official stance much, except to point to specific plug-ins as 'not objectionable,' which they call 'green lighting.' These remain 'use at your own risk' (crashes, lost data, eaten items. Of course, fans being fans, that didn't take long to be proven. The game was designed under the theory that people would need or use them.Partly, ANet didn't want to be in a position of having to 'police' the 3rd party development. The game is, imo, very bad optimized, i have 8 cores with the 9700k and only 2 are really used, one ot 95% and the other at 35%, i've 16 gb ram, the game always use around about 2,8-3 Gb so is not an issue of lack of hardware, is the game how is coded.There aren't any 'legal' addons in the sense that means to WoW players. I don't like the smell of hot air from my case. This is the only game that stress so much my system that every hour or so i'm force to open the case window and leave the game because i'm afraid something can burn. My GPU is RTX 2060 Super and is barely used, using gpu-z it stay at 40-41☌ degree with my 60 fps monitor, while is the cpu that took all the wrok, i get around 45-50 ☌ with a Freezer 34 esport duo air cooler, a lot of hot hair come out from my exaust fans from top and back.

Same cpu as you, but no matter how much i try, the game drop in fps expecially in the latest maps (more detailed), and during meta events and world bosses.ĭecreasing players and gear quality to lowest for both options improve a bit but not so much, and i have everything else to low or none too. If you gonna need some help with GW2Hook - PM me. Shadows-OFF, Reflections-Terrain&Sky, Character Model Limit Lowest-Medium and in critical situations(world bosses,events,wvw, maybe raids) Character Model Quality set to Lowest. All you can do is adjust your graphics settings for every situation. It has always been a problem in GW2 unfortunately. Overall you shouldn't expect smooth 60FPS in all places. THIS is a small example of what you should expect (I'm at work now, this is the only of my screenshots, which I got atm). With GW2Hook game will have beautiful colors, textures will be sharper and since you won't use default postprocessing - you will gain some performance (not much, but it's still a gain). It is possible with GW2Hook (or ReShade, but I have never used it). It will give a significant performance boost, especially knowing that your CPU is capable of going up to 5.1GHz (with decent cooling).
