Guild Wars 2

There need be resolve the problem witch the " skins loading" for a big group of pll.

I think all who play wvswvsw know about this delay. If yu dont see the enemy approaching and attacking becose they are still “loading”, yu chave no chance to defend. Those “ghost atack” will destroy eany group atack/ defence witch no wall in few seconds. Its not about lags etc.

In practice it looks so funny :

group nr1:

…ok almost done .. what the.. ?? … ??? … i eam ded ?? … how ?? … who kill me ?? … from where they come ?? i was watching our back, so wth?? … now i see them… so mutch pll there now… nice… all like a big group of invisible enemys …ok we all ded… time to use wp…

group nr2 :

… ok they try to attack/defend this point… regroup on me… we are away enough to dont start loading yet… ok lets do it, use all fast move skill we need do it fast… gogogo… i think they shall be there, so: aoe, aoe, etc. … kill the rest dont let them go away … we killed them all … we are the best … GJ all

Yes i know it is unfair, we use this game issue, we was killed by this issue etc.
What do you think ?? This shall be fixed or no??
If yes, ArenaNet , or you players have any idea how fix this??
Maybe some default skins for all enemy pll, they shall load faster??
Any ideas??

Besides culling, i dont notice skins problem.

I’d be content with stick figures so long as I can see the enemy 100% of the time.

5 races, 2 sexes, 8 professions, generic weapons, all in the client .dat files. Load all into memory at the start of WvW. Maybe later, when things are stable, add Legendary weapons. There, the client has the models/textures/colors. Use enough polygons to determine what the player is doing.
Constantly update the clients with x,y,z coords about every player.
Look, it’s a red, norn, female mesmer. Don’t care if the armor is chartreuse, pink, white, glory, and is exotic cultural. It’s a mesmer.
