Guild Wars 2

Ever since the January 28th “polishing” patch I have been seeing whole packs of mobs spawn right on top of me during the penn/shelter/jofast DE chain. This very much resembles the culling you used to see (or maybe still see) in WvW when large numbers of players are in one spot. Has anyone else seen this or is my client just bugging out? If the problem exists is anything being done to correct it?

I have this happen a lot too, so no, it’s not just you. My friend also had it happen while we were playing together (happened to us at the same time). I just assumed it was due to more people actually being in the immediate area since Orr is now fun to play, although I can’t be sure since I never really kept track before. It is frustrating, though. I see all the players (I think?) but have a pack of mobs spawn on me defending Penitent camp. Seems to happen more for me in that one than any of the others.

Orr right now is very profitable to farm. I’ve been farming it since October and it’s pretty obvious that there are more people there because it’s the best way to get gold. I don’t think they made any culling changes to PvE (they did minor ones to WvW) and so this issue has been there for quite awhile.

The best way to solve it is to learn the waves and to stand a bit farther from the zerg so that the mobs load first before other players.

Wish there was a mobs vs players visibility slider. Lol

Same here. It does not always happen but i have seen people hacking away at mobs that i see only many second later when most of the mobs are dead.
