Just had a fight with a P/D condi thief. I know that this fight is a uphill battle for my power lock down mesmer build. But the thing is, that I could not see him beyond the initial seconds before he cloaked the first time. I could select him when he attacked and had some chances finding him, because I saw where the bullets came from. But he was invisible (meaning the character model was not visible to me) almost all the time unless I managed a lucky interrupt.
Wasn’t aware of smth like that still happening. It felt like the culling issues from the early GW2 days. But I thought they got rid of it. So what was it then?

Chronomancy works, I am proof of it. Now stop asking me questions. Time must be preserved!
Sounds like your video card dropping the model from memory, or simply a bug in the game. I’ve personally never seen it happen, so I’m guessing it’s quite rare. I hope you don’t have a hardware failure, because that would suck. I’m assuming your drivers are up to date? Did you monitor your video memory to make sure it wasn’t maxed?
It’s probably because they’re not revealed until they deal damage. With enough distance you’d probably see 2-3 shots before one hits you and they become revealed.
I noticed a similar issue last night, I was with a group attacking a tower gate and their character models kept randomly disappearing and reappearing, the nametags were still there, but the models kept disappearing. Its probably a glitch I havent seen that before, or at least havent noticed if it has happened.
I say what needs to be said, get used to it.

gw2 doesn’t have a very good priority system when it comes to loading models. So if your loading alot of models at a time(such as waypointing, moving fast through an area, or zerg nearby.) It could leave a player model behind a bunch of rock models.
If this is the case it should still show you the nameplate (if you have always show enemies turned on or pressing CTRL) if it doesn’t then it is culling.
