Guild Wars 2

Well after the new patch I’ve notice the culling issue has multiplied it’s reach to the point where the game is unplayable in WvW.

Does ANet want to force you into PvE only?

I was in WvW last night and I could only see 1-20 players on screen at any given time and the frame rates have been the worst since launch. People were popping in and out of thin air all night long for no apparent reason. Even in the player spawn area we couldn’t even see the commander, and the mini-map was glitching with the commander tag too! There were about 30 of us on top of the commander grouping up and none of us could see more and a few other players let alone when we hit another zerg… the game became a slideshow…

The fights were epic comedy, the only issue was none of us (friend or foe) could see it!!!!

It was hilarious to see the aftermath of 2 massive zergs, dead bodies tags everywhere (couldn’t see the bodies though), nobody knowing whats going on, impossible to have tactics or keep the ball together, plus the frame rate issues… funny to look back at but not fun to play.

PvE won’t offer you any relief from culling sadly, even if you wanted to PvE. Since the 1/28 patch culling has been a persistent problem throughout the game. There has always been an issue with episodic culling in PvE, but now it is all day every day if you are talking about DE’s with moderate turnouts. Sorry, they are not trying to push you PvE with the culling you are experiencing in WvW. No hope there at present.

It’s funny, but at the same time painful, to see how every fix has made culling worse. At this point, I’m just wishing they would roll back the changes they’ve made and start from scratch.
