Guild Wars 2

The draw distance is the most ridiculous I’ve ever seen in any games!

WoW draws everything, people still satisfy even they takes a bit of low FPS but at least everyone can see everyone and the feel of population on the map.

GW2, most of the time I thought Lion Arch is empty like dead empty until I walk into a crowd of people. Things started to popup like behind and delay. Some part of the area where you stand in LA end up people vanishing except the important NPC.

I cannot stand this Culling engine. It’s driving me nuts to find where everyone is!

For example, the Mad King event in Lion Arch. People popup when I’m like 10 yards away from them and I can only see what’s around me in a radius! This is like walking into a invisible fog that you cannot see any further than 10 yards.

Perhaps reduce the polygons dynamically when the character is very far away?

Indeed, this is horrible also driving me insane. Especially now in MK says event, you expect it to be a big “party” and ppl only appear next to you…pf.

This culling is due to bandwidth rates as far as I know, they’re trying to limit it to 30 characters on screen.

im sure i missunderstood what you said about Bandwidth Ihysoal.7153

but with me playing on max setting and a 100/100Mb fiber optic bandwidth and sometimes it feels like i run around alone in lions arch then BOOM 30+ ppl around me..
THAT is just wrong.

Also i have to add that its only in Lion arch that happens too. everywhere else it works great even in WvW i can see hordes of players comming runnign from far far away
