I don't know if and how much optimization goes on behind the scenes.
 
I certainly haven't read any recent patch notes that point to any optimization being done.
 
And yes, I am one of the AMD users that has been seeing inexplicable poor performance throughout Nexus.
 
However, I must say that every week the game seems to run a lot smoother and for that I want to thank Carbine.
 
Thank you for your steady commitment to the game and the players, even if at times it seems to us that it is too slow! Still, slow and steady is much, MUCH better than quick and sloppy.
 
I know a lot of us, me included, become desperate at times and may turn to rage posting but I can assure you, most of this rage is born from a desire to see this game succeed!
 
There is still a lot of work ahead for you in regards to optimization. Certain districts in main cities are close to impossible to be in (My performance drops from a 40fps average to 5fps in Academy Corner in Thayd). Nevertheless, I am sure you will get around to it (hopefully sooner than later).
 
To the players I say, be patient. There is nothing wrong with taking a break once in a while if you feel disappointed or burnt out in any way. The game will still be here in a few weeks and it might have gotten the improvements you were hoping for.
 
Again, Thanks Carbine. Keep up the good work. I hope this demonstration of gratitude isn't for naught. I can't be 100% sure if there has been any real recent effort on AMD or general optimization but I have seem some improvement and it is only fair that I feel gratitude.
 
INB4: "It's probably cause your server has lost a lot of people". To that I say, no. I have not observed any significant decline in Stormtalon's population.
