Guild Wars 2

or bad if I could at least SEE what was going on around me. But with all the stuff going on, and the high numbers of people and enemy mobs, nothing actually ever loads. No character models, no enemy models, not even attacks. Combine that with the high lag, and there’s no way to “avoid the fire” and other such fun things because you never see it coming, and then you’re dead by the time it hits.

I want to like this event, I really do. But there’s too much going on in too small a space and it makes it essentially unplayable.

The worst part is, I don’t know what could be done to fix this.

Wait a day or two, or three.

I’m having similar issue. I remember this used to happen to me during beta weekend DE’s. I see player names, mob names, and occasionally the red rings on the ground but the channeling of mob skills escapes me. Playing with my graphics setting on the LOD distance and WvW player limit settings didnt help much. Anyone else have an idea what to try?

I’m on a hi-pop server and have done DE’s and WvW since the beginning, so loads of players in one area wasn’t a problem for me. This is not the best/most epic PC in the world…but it used to handle GW2 just fine. Tips or tricks for fixing this would be appreciated.
