Guild Wars 2

First of all i find Amazing the fact that Culling wont be part of the game anymore but at the same time i fear for my 1mb connections, we all cant afford, or get faster connectivity, and ive been watching a lot of streamers lately and it seems they have about.

I personally cant find any good ISP where i live and sometimes in peak hours i get super lagged and it seems im not the only one since i ask players in the same map and about half of them always suffer from lag.

what is my major gripe with the removal of culling, this game revolves a lot in zerging could be WvWvW, Trains, Guild Missions,

Does the removal of Culling will overcharge my (and not only mine) already slow connection? what about the particle effects, spells? the culling somewhat help people to not retrieve to much information from the server.

IMHO i only care about the MOB and just a few of nearby players (so at least i know im not alone fighting a champion) of course WvWvW is another matter and Culling DOES affect the gameplay.

will be able to turn Culling On/Off according the situation or you are removing it completely?

If anything performance will be better with culling gone. It was for me in WvW and I expect the same boost to pve.

There will be a slider just like the one for WvW to reduce the number of visible players. Without that option some people won’t be able to play the game anymore.

You should only notice a performance increase if you have low settings where culling is even higher. No culling at all means you’re going to see every single player, which is going to greatly reduce performance.

exactly my point without culling the game woulve unplayable for most people.

we have culling removed in wvw and its laggy, but at least i see every character. u might have to put your graphics lower if u have a slow connection…i had to unfortunately i get the worst connection where i live at….ugh
