Guild Wars 2

Which graphics option is it to disable/enable players characters being hidden when taking part in big events?

I turned my graphics down all the way to best performance and noticed that when taking part in large events (world bosses for example) some players characters are disappearing, just their name is being shown.
I like this feature, I could probably turn my graphics up a little as long as the players kept being hidden, I need to know which option it is within the graphics settings that enables/disables this.

You can limit the number of player character models shown, I think it’s called character model limit. It’s near the bottom if I remember right.

Yes, Character Model Limit. The other is Character Model Quality which determines how many of the displayed player characters are shown as generic models or as their actual character model.

Tracking and display other characters and what they are doing seems to be a heavy burden on the game’s rendering loop. Lowering this number helps improve performance, aka frame rate. Downside is it’s not helpful in WvW where you want to see all your foes.
