Emotes and culling/loading in characters
First of all…
I tried searching on the forum, and, to my surprise, I found nothing about this issue.
.. search on forum is broken, so I’m not surprised you haven’t found any other thread about this issue :P
It looks even sillier on the NPCs that are supposed to be sitting or lying down, and just stand there, cracking their neck, looking around, rubbing their hands.
Yes, it was first noted at Wayfarer Foothills and other Norn areas, NPCs supposed to be lying (like the Passed Out Warriors at Wayfarer) just stand still on place. I also have noted it with the new Living Story at the refugee camps at Gendarran, NPCs that are wounded and then supposed to be lying down are standing still, stretching out, rubbing hands, etc.
There is a thread about that Passed Out Warriors issue but, as I said above, I can’t find it now :P

It’s rather quite silly. It’s not game breaking, but it does make things simply look stupid. Instead of thinking “I’m helping these people”, the only thought that’s now present is “Oh, that looks stupid. The game doesn’t function how it’s supposed to. I wonder why they haven’t fixed it.”
So it’s no longer helping NPCs, but it’s pressing F until you get your experience. Immersion breaking.
For NPCs that are standing, instead of laying down, try adjusting your WvW Character options. For most, that has solved the problem. Might work for your other issues, as well.
So, not really a bug, but kind of an option. =) Lots of threads on this, but…yes…forum search is broken, even after the fixes for it they tried.
It’s not an option. Characters that aren’t loaded in properly is a bug, and the fact that I have to change an option to fix it proves it’s a bug.
Glad you got your issue solved. =)
Not sure where you got that idea. The issue isn’t solved at all.

Sorry but I can’t recall which option are you talking about. the only option I can think of regarding loading characters is the one related to culling, then related to loading player’s characters, not NPCs. Could you tell which option are you referring to?

Oh I see. I’m used to change settings while on PvE and it shows a different options at that place while in there. I have never changed settings while in WvW so why I had never seen that options.

Ahh, I see. The wiki picture should be updated. It is the same setting option, they just changed the name to Character instead of WvW Character.
Regardless, this is the option that allows NPCs that were standing to lay down, for many people.

Hmm really, it does? From what I recall that option is meant to define how many characters should be rendered with high quality based on their distance (aka draw distance), but it’s weird that even characters only at a few steps from my char are having the “standing” issue. :S
Don’t know if it will work for you, but it sure has for others. Game code is an odd duck. =)
