Guild Wars 2

The new culling setup has turned Orr PVE Dynamic Events into an unplayable mess for me.

I just recently came back with a new level 80 to start farming Orr and was totally taken aback by how unplayable the new culling changes have made it.

Before the change I never had any issues with large zergs at DE’s in Orr. Other than some minor frame rate drop, there were no issues.

Now when I approach a DE with a large zerg, all I see from a distance is a few particle effects, but when I get up on the spot, I see a few mobs, zig zagging around like crazy and zero players. I assume the mobs are getting knocked around by players I can’t see yet. I had several DE’s were I never did see a single player before the DE ended and the zerg dispersed. In fact I have yet to see any players materilize after waiting some time. It seems to be an either or situation. Either I see the players from the start, or I never see them at all.

I have a pretty average 2 year old system, so it is no slouch and I never had culling issues before in PVE. (I don’t WvW)

Please Arenanet set PVE back to the way it was.

Yeah, it’s getting worse.

Where shall we report our PVE culling issues?
I found so many threads, but have no idea where I shall post..

Some threads:

I am having similar issues. And it honestly only started happening within the last few patches. I will have no issues seeing mobs but even if theres only 2 other players right next to me sometimes I cant see them. Now that is an extreme instance but sometimes its worse and sometimes its better.

I would support trying to figure out one thread where we can post our issues with culling in pve.
