Guild Wars 2

Anet,

When will this new culling system be removed? You got the feedback in December that it didn’t work and now you are hearing again that it doesn’t work. Can you give us an idea on your plans?

Another hate thread… please close.

Most of us that enjoy this new culling method and prefer it aren’t flocking to the forums to complain.

Just because there are a lot of disgruntled people making posts (which is going to be the case as long as culling is even an issue) does not mean things should be reverted.

I disapprove of this question. You got the last trial culling system removed and it was better too.. staaahp

This new culling system cant be removed soon enough, its barely playable with people randomly loading in.

Culling NEVER should have been put into the game. It’s an unacceptable thing to have in PVP.

I know, I hate being able to see the enemy from a distance too. I miss the old system of being able to blissfully run around an empty field only to find myself surrounded by red names before a quick death.

use an existing thread where many have disagreed and want the culling to stay.

This question is total spam. I would say that most people that I know are quiet happy with this new system, WvW works a lot better than before now after the patch. If you however are having technical difficulties, check out the support forum and address your problems there. That way you might actually get help and you just might find a solution to your problem.

Current system is worse, leading without tag is impossible when in guild groups. And when following a commander tag I feel like I’m playing starcraft, looking at the minimap most of the time.

Signed!

Only dilettantes will put system like culling in the massPVP game.

I have just 1 question: WTF they tested at the all BWEs??? What they thinked about? WWW will have only 10 players from the each side and all will be ok? But in fact we have hundred of WWW-oriented players every second! Big queues in the prime-time.
And obvious thing is - game-engine can not handle not only very massive battles (200x200), but even little scaled battles too - yesterday I got culling in ... 10x10 fight! ><
We have culling in the PVE now! It so pathetic >< I neever seen that stupidness in the game design before, but I have very rich MMO experience - more than 9 years (God, so long...)

And there is another question: if they did not have engine for massive battles - why the hell they make that massive battles? They scum their customers - all of us!
They promise us massive WvWvW battles and what we got? battles between invisible mans? Lol.

This game about WWW! Nothing else! Without WWW this game will have very low population

Didnt even try to report my post! Let the Community manager and the Lead designer will answer it! At least they’ll see it and will cry whole night ^^

i do not like the new culling system. my specs werent amazing as somethings did not load before, now it is worse. people in my guild who previously didn’t experience culling, are now experiencing culling. i now also experience culling on my team that im with which is something new. all in all new culling system i rate 0/10.

oh yeah and this is my first post on the subject. so if there was another thread sorry i missed it.

What is your server and guild?

I’m from the Nugos guild, Disorder League alliance (GreenFire, DalZone, ZaDrots (at FarSh)) we was in the 1st tier servers many times (at Far Shiverpeaks, Blacktide servers), we have fights against very good and numbered enemies (Vizunah, Seafarer, Desolation, Elona, Riverside) day by day, week by week, all of us servers always got nearly 1 hour queues at the WWW maps.
So if I’m talking about WWW - I know what I’m talking about

And who are you and why we must trust you and your friends from the nowhere?

Considering my system beats the recommended specs by quite a bit, runs on a clean win7 system with most up to date drivers I doubt that the support forum will be of any help.

Maybe you should actually join WvW with a WvW guild once?

That would be DW, and as you might know we are right now one of the biggest and most active guilds in WvW on our server.

The preloaders should have been added, but the culling system should not have.

Did any of the mods inform the devs about all the negative feedback about this culling system in December? I for one hardly saw any positive thread about it, and yet Anet decided to bring it back. So what gave then the thought that we all liked it? If we liked it why dd they have to remove it if it was so good.

Your answer equal to no any answer.

I repeat: what is your server and guild?

If you think I will Googling like crazy about meaning of the “DW” and where are you playing at – you are mistaken.

Currently it is a disaster, especially on high pop servers. Absolute disaster, far far worse than it was before.

if anyone thinks its better its probably because their are half the numbers in the zones than their used to be. if you had the same load and this method it would be even worse than it actually is.

Its less bad than the old method and I have no idea why anyone would claim otherwise. Combining what I see on the screen and on the minimap I get a basic idea of what’s happening now at least, when before huge zergs could pass by each other without even noticing.

Neither solution is acceptable though and its embarrassing that ANet look so clueless about fixing one of their game’s flagship features, when other companies have done a much better job a decade ago.

during Beta they had questioners popping up, why dont you use that again Anet and gather stats from everyone who logs into WvW asking them how much on a scale 1-5 they like the new culling and why they think so. that way you would get everyone’s opinion and not just the outraged or forum going peoples opinions.

Get a new engine and make GW3, this time dont use a crap engine not made for a “Massive” multiplayer online game… (showing only like 70 players on the screen, wth were you thinking?!)

Sounds as if small groups like the change and the zerglings don’t. Maybe try running smaller groups?
