Any plan that involves dead quaggans is, by design, foolproof. I’m an unmitigated genius!
Cannot use minis on nearly empty map
Whenever I try to use a miniature I get a message saying that “Miniatures have been hidden due to rising player population”, yet just now I also got a little popup saying that the instance of the map I was in (Brisban Wildlands) had almost no players in it and I could choose to stay in that instance, or move to a more populated one.
So I tried to enable my mini again, and I got the same error message about the rising player population again. It seems to me that this is a bit bugged.
I had the same thing happen to me earlier.
Perhaps it’s the error message that is incorrect, e.g. maybe it should say, “miniatures are hidden due to a sudden increase in the number of nearby players.” In other words, it’s not about overall population, just about people close by.
That would make more sense, since a map can be down to 25 people (making it efficient to combine with other 25 person maps), while at the same time, 25 are at the same boss, thus triggering the need to cull.
Still, be nice if they tweaked this so we can see our own minis almost all the time.
John Smith: “you should kill monsters, because killing monsters is awesome.”
It’s not about people close by. I’ve received the message with noone in sight.
Also note that prior to the patch people could use their minis with no problems in far more populated areas like lions arch, tequatl runs etc.
The developers have added a new safeguard and it isn’t working properly yet.
Remove the “safeguard”. We should NEVER have our minis disabled. If they want to get rid of excess graphics rendering, kill the stupid Legendary weapon effects, I say. Those really have an effect on graphics rendering in combat.
They apparently applied a new build this afternoon. I had a download before I logged in, but I still can’t get my minis out, and my feet still don’t show in my Hero Panel, and I’m still missing most of my “standing around idle” emotes.
What did they fix?

yes, autohide works bad
in citys like DR or LA with many players and minis around me (primetime), minis are shown and all is fine
in maps like queensdale, kessex, caledon with NO players around me (at 3:00 AM), minis are autohide
