Guild Wars 2

Hi,

this has happened to me several times now, in the past several weeks, across several charactes.

I select a mini and put a checkmark in the Miniature category of the Hero window, in order to display the mini, but the checkmark gets cleared randomly after a while, which in effect hides my mini. If and when I notice that my mini has disappeared, I have to repeat the process, which is really annoying.

Does the “Due to increased player population, minis are hidden” event permanently hides minis, by mistake, perhaps, because that’s what came to my mind first?

Has anyone else experienced it?

Thanks

After googling gw2 forums, could it be related to the “known” bug with gliding, HoT maps and minis?

Everyone who loves minis & plays HoT has experienced it. It’s been a thing for so long that the old threads have dropped off the front page here.

There are two situations in which the game ‘culls’ minis: for gliding and when the server is getting overworked displaying graphics (the ol’ “player population” message pops up). For some reason, ANet decided to cull by removing the client-side check box about for displaying minis and the code to re-check is wonky.

ANet’s aware of the issue, but I haven’t seen any estimated date for its fix
