Guild Wars 2

I play WvW and the biggest issue I have is this game doesn’t seem to render more than 30 players at a time until you’re already dead. What’s the point of having WvW if half the time I can’t see my allies/enemies because of this?

I have no such problem. I know the game can render at least 40-50 people on screen with no issues, after that I start to get some significant lag.

Its a known problem, Anet have stated as such, cba looking for the post.

Basically its a programming issue and they’re working on it.

@SoPP thanks didn’t know that

it’s a current optimization thing to keep computers from being completely cpu bound.

the issue before they added this optimization in was people with great systems couldn’t even get more than a few fps because of all the people and stuff going on.

so things like projectiles and players and such, only the ones that are most important to you are displayed, like a fireball shot at one guy may not even appear for you and you will only see the ones coming at you, same for players.

^ yes but its more than just the fact that it doesnt render them because it can’t.

its a problem with the programming itself, because many times you can die to an unrendered group, and then upon dying, the entire group becomes visible at once.

there IS a problem with it, and anet stated there was.. we just have to wait for a fix.

Yep, this is a known Anet issue. Start your research beginning here:

I prefer laghell than not seeing 50 people on the map attacking me.

Funny thing is, you can see their AoE animations.
