I know for the original Guild Wars, there was a switch/option -perfs that displays FPS and ping in the upper-right corner. Does Guild Wars 2 have a similar option?

There is nothing in the Official Wiki for it yet. But there is an example with -perf switch. I cannot access the game at the moment to test what it does. – DaveShaw Apr 28 '12 at 20:10

I just added -perfs to the shortcut and it displays a ton of what looks like graphics related data, including FPS. I didn't see ping though.

I'm not sure what it looked like in Guild Wars, as I never played it.

You should only need -perf, not -perfs. – Josh Petrie Apr 30 '12 at 4:48

While this worked at the time of posting, -perf no longer works since bwe3 which is unfortunate. – greatwolf Sep 2 '12 at 21:00

You can view your FPS at the bottom of the first tab of the options window (F11). I don't believe you can check ping yet.

to check your ping just write /ping

can you qualify your answer a bit? Where do you write /ping? Do you mean from the commandline? From inside the game client itself? As arguments and options you pass into the client when you run it? – greatwolf Jan 18 at 14:37
