I am not totally sure if anyone has been experiencing this in dynamic events, but has anyone been experiencing harsh amounts of culling in PvE? Even outside of open world events, has anyone been receiving so much culling, even objects in the game are not appearing? Ever since they changed culling in WvW, it seems like they doubled PvE culling, where a group of people of 6-8 and 2-6 enemies are not visible to you, even in some points, yourself gets culled out. I am not sure if this is a bug or attended, but this is starting to get out of hand, including in Balthazar events, where you don’t see anything until you just realized everyone, including you,just got instagibbed.

The picture below shows how I feel and it seems worse then before ever since they removed culling in WvW, There should be an option to take off culling in PvE. (on/off)

yes, but i’ve been seeing it for awhile…the last couple of weeks…not sure why.
the objects do eventually show up, though lately i am even missing the names of mobs, still have the red bar, but no name.

Honestly I’d like the ‘Nameplate only’ option in PvE. I don’t care what people look like when I’m out farming or doing events. I want a consistent framerate and to be able to see when mobs spawn. I don’t really care seeing things that can’t kill me if I miss the ‘easily-clouded-by-flashy-spell-effects’ wind up the 3 champions are starting.

Finally I recalled the stopgap solution of a great princess who was told that the
peasants had no bread and who responded: “Let them eat brioche.”

I like fighting invisible mobs. Just spamming my aoes and auto-attacks in every direction. Makes me feel like I’m being efficient, more useful, gives me a sense of achievement to contribute in such a fight.

But in all seriousness, I’d like to stop being insta-downed by some kitten I didn’t see nor got a chance to dodge.

Yeah, trying to do the events in the Cursed Shore when I can only see a couple mobs at times is pretty awful. If they do to open world events what they did to WvW, that would be amazing.
