Ruins of Benwick performance drop - Use this thread to talk about specific areas!

[matheusgraef]

Hey there. I'd like to make a feedback thread where we point out areas that are quite laggy to everybody. Areas that have performance issues because of VFX, etc.

1. The objective of this thread is to compile a list with the worst areas and the reasons. This has been done before but since it's a regular topic spread out sporadically between threads I think it's nice if we have one big thread to compile these complaints.

2. This thread is solely for entire areas that TANK your FPS. This isn't the thread to report a specific spot in an area that drops your FPS (even if considerably) - We're targeting entire areas that suffer from bad optimization. Areas that are virtually unplayable.

3. Please, try to keep this as objective as possible. Just state the area and the reason why it causes performance issues, let's try not to derail too much from the subject. If you agree with a post, you could also quote that to empathize.

My two major complaints, from current and previous experiences:

Ruins of Benwick: Those black tentacles VFX just caused my performance to drop considerably, to the point I was visiting the area with my party and I had to find an IC excuse to get out of there, which really sucked.

Shadow Cordor: I haven't had the chance to visit this area ever since the Shadowplane updates. However, consulting with people on discord, it seems it remains just as bad as before. That area is also FPS-tanking, possibly because of the fog VFX.
