Guild Wars 2

I log in and find two issues with every character around me.

One, everyone loads in with their weapon in hand.
Two, everyone loads with the placeholder WvW look in soft pink.

Issue one: I don’t know how to fix this nonsense.
Issue two: I found after some fiddling that the WvW character settings adjust this.

WHY did you not clarify where to adjust graphical settings to undo the ugly? And why is there no seperate function? Why did you remove culling, after all the tweaks you did to make it a bearable and worthwhile function?

Arena Net. I beg of you. Make a seperate setting for the PvE area models, or just bring back the culling!
The latter seems the lesser of two evils, at this point, but at least it may help some people!

Auruan, I love you!!! I had the same problem but I have never played WvW so I had no idea that could be the reason! I have now changed the WvW settings and people now look normal!!! (Needed to put them in “Higher” resolution… it doesn’t make sense but well…) Thanks!!!!

You’re most welcome! And in return I must thank you for assisting others around the forums with this tidbit of information.

While at it, I found another glitch/bug of sorts, to add to the list:
Player written Emotes have ridiculous range since the patch.
Anyone using /e or /me can be seen across miles of range. (Tested in Divinity’s, Lion’s Arch, the Grove.)
Originally, max range was available only in parties. Now it’s anyone, anywhere, anytime. Very awkward for roleplayers, but equally annoying to anyone else since /emotes still bypass the ignore list.

We’re looking into updating the menu options to make it a bit more clear for players.

Thanks for the reports and feedback!

Okay thank you very much. All we ask most of the time is that things are labelled properly… (and that patch notes also include things that are usually stealth nerfs so we don’t have to make conspiracy threads about those changes in the first place, Thanks)
