Guild Wars 2

rendering issues have been plaguing GW2 WvW since forever, and have only gotten worse this past patch. While I’m sure there are plenty of technical reasons why these issues happen, I thought I’d bring up a suggestion on how to slightly help the current situation.

My suggestion is for a quick option to hide a majority of character models, and only show names.

Thiswas used very well in the game Aion, where pressing Shift+F12 would hide all the character models in except for your party members and your target. The only things that would appear on the screen would be many many names/ranks of opposing and allied players. This was mostly used to allow for lower-end PCs to be able to play around in the massive zergy world PvP, but I do think that this was a very well done solution to the problem.

While it may be slightly “immersion breaking,” as well as not a perfect solution to the current problem that we have in Guild Wars 2, mostly because this game is heavily based on skill animations, I do believe that the majority of WvW players would prefer to see a zerg of floating names, than nothing at all.
