Hi,

Like many people here I’ve been playing the game since launch but ever since the recent culling patch me and a few guildies have noticed the extra stress has this placed on our connections to the game.

Many a time I now find myself being disconnected in Lion’s Arch and most annoyingly the Clockwork Chaos events. As much as I appreciate the whole “see your friends” thing, I personally think this is silly, sure I want to see my friends, but then make it so only the people in my party (clearly my friends) aren’t culled, not seeing a field of people (who aren’t my friends i.e. in the zerg) in ugly basic armor who look identical. If everyone looks the same, then who looks like anything?

I’m running on best performance to mitigate the amount of damage this patch does to my connection but I really think it would be a good idea to at least include an option to have the old culling in gfx options for those of us who don’t care about what the 736 people around us look like in basic white armor.

Hope this gets some kind of response,

Ed

you are living proof that people actually bother to read these signatures.

you can lower you culling setting to low or lowest, but for some reason anet still adds tags to the invisible ppl, haven’t figured how to fix that yet. But on your need, its in the video options.
