Guild Wars 2

Hey guys,

I know many people have complained about the new culling system, but I was actually quite happy for it. It should work better in theory. Since I was not doing WvW for a while, I didn’t notice how it was working out. So today I had a bad experience with it and would like to give my report to see if the devs can get anything out of it.

Most of the time, I was getting great results and I could see many enemies clearly. Earlier today, I was fighting in between Langor Gulch and the Blue Shard Valley to take the keep. (If it helps to identify the proper time in which it happened, DH had control of the keep and the wall was already down). So there was a group of ours (HoD) against a group of DH. Neither of the groups were too big, each one with at most 10 players (probably 7 on each side). I could see the enemies fine, until a point in which they all disappeared. I thought they left so I got closer and started to take damage. So I left and the same thing would happen when I would approach that area. I would take damage and see the effects of projectiles coming in my direction, I just couldn’t see who was casting them, even though as the was no one in front of me. At some point, they started to appear again and I could see them for about 20 seconds until they disappeared again.

Quite an odd behavior. Since I think devs record the game and might have access to replays, this might be a good spot to check out what went wrong. Just check when my character logged in to WvW in the last 24h and when he was around Langor Gulch and DH had control of the keep and the wall was down. In that fight, I would lose sight of my enemies a couple of times with some quite odd behavior.
