Guild Wars 2

Is there a reason I can’t have like, 4 candles on a tables, with some trees around it without this happening? I mean, the only explanation is that it causes lag or something, but it doesn’t, it’s only a few candles…

“only a few candles” ?!? That could lead to the Wax Apocalypse.

Turns out that even “a few candles” have a lot of animations associated with them, so they might actually be more problematic than the trees. If I recall correctly, some of the limits are “hard coded” — it’s apparently easier to limit the total number and the number in close proximity to each other, rather than have the game try to distinguish which decorations are ok to add and which are not.

Eh, that’s fair enough. I’m just gonna decrease the trees and increase the candles, to initiate the wax-pocolypse. I was just hoping there was some way to work around it.

There’s also the Row of Candles decoration which may help you cut down on the number of decorations, but increase the size of your fire-wielding legion.

It won’t help with the clustering of decorations, but at least there are some changes coming to decoration use:

Woah, these are perfect! Cost 6 candles, gets me about 12. Pretty cool!
