This is getting ridiculous and I consider a major flaw in the game currently. I have a great computer, and great processor and a great connection and my computer can’t render these players around me? You have got to be kidding me…

I was in WvW today attacking a gate for 5 minutes and when we ran inside to attack it looked like there were only a few people who had been behind the walls. NOPE! GUESS WHAT AN INVICIBLE ARMY! Are you telling me my computer could not render those players in the 5 minutes I sat at the gate? They were 20-30 feet away from me!

It’s effecting both PvE and WvW and it’s getting extremely annoying…

Take off the settings handicap and let players tweak the settings to their own liking, I should be able to decide how much renders on screen, not have it determined for me or be told that it’s because I lack a proper connection.

/end rant.

I agree, there is something wrong with rendering. But my computer is low end.

Having people “pop-up” around you is annoying. We’d never so carelessly run in otherwise.

I think there is an option in the settings that causes it. My roommate plays on High settings, and didn’t have the issue until I changed his settings to Ultra/Max. After turning back, he now has it. He even has it on Medium.

I think one of the options is it, but the description doesn’t give it away. Plus, you cannot test, since it is too late when it happens. A “heat of the moment” situation.

I don’t get it on super-crappy low setting. Looks like I’m playing a PS game then lol, but everything shows up.

Oh, and you should add this to the Suggestion forum (or Bug). I’d rather have super low quality players until they render properly, than nothing at all.

As it stands now, I have nothing, not even their shadows, to tell me if anyone is there. And it happens with only ~40 players present.
