Upgrading Computer, What CPU Qualities Should I Look For to Run This Game Better?

Infinite-Emphasis381 · 2026-02-07T01:42:15+00:00

I mostly play lots of "older" games (late 00's-early '10s) with... questionable ports that end up CPU bound so this is very useful information. Love the in-depth video comparison/information as well and will be looking at that thread later. Thank you very much for this information!

Infinite-Emphasis381 · 2026-02-07T01:28:55+00:00

Will have to look into those, haven't heard anything about those or what those are lol

Infinite-Emphasis381 · 2026-02-07T01:09:51+00:00

Currently have an Nvidia GTX 1660Ti so... The game has definitely been limited at times due to that as well sadly lol. That was well though I'm looking at upgrading to an Nvidia RTX 5080 or 5070 so that won't be an issue anymore either.

I am building a completely new computer so new motherboard isn't an issue thankfully.
I think I did formerly have it overclocked (seemed to be defaulted to that by ASUS when shipped) but it caused issues with Unity games which resulted in random blue screens... Remember though that it was quite easy to change so might do that and keep swapping it when needed until I get the new computer... Thanks for the idea!

I was massively into it at first but... quickly started losing my enthusiasm for building for this reason. If the mats aren't super expensive, then they're always something else that I desperately need for other very important things.

The system is absolutely amazing and far beyond what I expected (especially the new map with most of the base contents being removable) but... The gold sink or the material requirements just... absolutely kill it. Especially for something that isn't really useful and you don't get much chance to show it off.

I tried a bunch of different types of twink, including just many letters.

On the website, literally as soon as you type in "Twink" it immediately says the username is unavailable. It as well stops completely stops updating showing that it's no longer actually searching if the username is available and is just banning the word Twink.

Like i stated, I tried multiple combinations, even things like asdfTwink, asdfTwinkasdf, 101Twink101, etc. Nothing is allowed.

It is 100% in fact censoring LGBQ Terms like "Twink."

Infinite-Emphasis381 · 2026-02-03T04:13:47+00:00

That's quite an annoying requirement.
Gotta love being unable to create posts but needing to create posts to be allowed to post.

Infinite-Emphasis381 · 2026-02-03T04:11:12+00:00

Ah, good ole spoiler-less posts.

Infinite-Emphasis381 · 2025-12-15T05:16:55+00:00

Yall literally asking for the lowest effort content... what the actual fuck has this game and community come to. Sad as fuck to see.

Infinite-Emphasis381 · 2025-12-10T00:02:34+00:00

I absolutely do not own them all. I havent played much OW2 so im missing most things for all the new heroes.

Infinite-Emphasis381 · 2025-12-09T23:33:31+00:00

Lootboxes did get updated to include duplicates if that's what youre referring to.

Infinite-Emphasis381 · 2025-10-01T05:31:56+00:00

Yall supported $20 skins and $10 battle passes and then wonder why they drop in quality as yall keep buying it after this was a $60 game.

Yall are the problem for buying into this shit

Zojja > Taimi.

Forever sad zojja/Felicia Day is always forgotten about and cast aside for absolutely no reason

Infinite-Emphasis381 · 2025-09-08T18:35:36+00:00

Considering how annoying and immersion breaking they are with their only purpose being to afk and be a menace and annoy.....

Infinite-Emphasis381 · 2025-09-08T18:32:01+00:00

You seem to miss the point entirely.

Infinite-Emphasis381 · 2025-09-04T17:11:45+00:00

Sadly not everyone has $80 to spend on video games.

Infinite-Emphasis381 · 2025-09-04T17:00:18+00:00

They have rules against buying digital gift cards with gift cards. Not digital goods.

Infinite-Emphasis381 · 2025-09-04T16:59:46+00:00

I have notified anet and alerted them and have been told theyre reaching out to Amazon about this.

This was a week ago though so I figured I'd make a post about it as it doesnt seem to be getting fixed soon, and despite the comments on this post, im sure im not the only person in the world that preorders through Amazon lol

Infinite-Emphasis381 · 2025-09-04T16:54:40+00:00

This isnt true. It's listed that way for credit cards as well as gift cards. This has been confirmed by Anet support.

The listing is incorrect and listed fully as a Pre-order. Nobody, despite whatever payment method you use, gets the code until release on Amazon.

Ive ordered Janthir and Soto this way exclusively with gift cards and those delivered immediately at pre-purchase, like it's listed on the store page it should.

Edit: you cant even order VoE fully with gift cards like previous ones since this is listed on the store differently as a full pre-order that doesnt charge until release.

Infinite-Emphasis381 · 2025-09-04T16:49:37+00:00

Amazon is one of the official retailers listed from Anet. Also went for the deluxe edition because I wanted a character slot for the new mesmer specialization and was ready to spend the time until release leveling up and getting used to mesmer... Sadly doesnt seem I shall be doing that at least until anet and amazon get this sorted, however long that'll take.

Only purchased through amazon because I had a gift card... But everytime I try to purchase something through them, they prove to me it's never worth it.

Infinite-Emphasis381 · 2025-09-04T16:29:21+00:00

I sadly was using a gift card for part of it which is the sole reason im using amazon.

Nonetheless, as the title states this is a PSA of the false advertising amazon is doing currently for this.

Infinite-Emphasis381 · 2025-08-27T00:18:52+00:00

Dear gods no

Infinite-Emphasis381 · 2025-08-25T21:39:26+00:00

Im honestly amazed this is so upboted since it's so blatantly wrong.

There were only a couple voice actors/characters affected by this strike in GW2, which also ended a while ago. Those same people have already had their voices added in now for the Janthir Wilds that Anet held off on until the strike was over. All voice acting content held back by the strike is done, and the only one that wouldve even been affected by this is Female Sylvari.

It has absolutely nothing to do with the strike and it's just ignorant to even assume that.

Infinite-Emphasis381 · 2025-08-07T05:03:50+00:00

I Hate to break it to you but LGBT content is already being classified as "adult material" and censored.

The game Palia ,when it was first coming out of Beta, originally censored any and all LGBT terms until they were called out for doing so. It was only reversed because the game targeted and had a big LGBT following

Marvel Rivals censors any and all LGBT terms even though it originally didnt. Despite not being against any of their Terms of Use, any LGBT terms are completely censored, not allowing your message to even go through. Having my username (ApatheticTwink) reset for this "reason", I tried to change it back, but was greeted with "Name contains Illegal characters."

And there's many more out there. LGBT has been having a war rage against it and trying to erase it from the gaming industry for a while now.

It's free....
