Guild Wars 2

Right now to get all effects on NPCs, you have to set “Character model limit” to highest possible setting.
This is painful to PCs/Macs with lower performance, especially when players horde the area to kill Champs/Legendaries…

Otherwise leaving the setting to “Lowest” commonly results in:
NPCs standing instead of using the correct animation.
Invisible monsters due to loading delay, sometimes they never load at all.
Lack of ghostly effects and etc.

Changing setting on “Character model quality” only affects player characters.

This all began since the character culling was removed.
I discovered this few months ago, while searching for the “NPC quality settings”.
