I found that because of the way the removal of culling is working – namely with those unattractive pink default models we’ve all seen in WvW – there are some unforeseen problems cropping up.
One is the whole weapons sheathed/not sheathed thing. I’ve been told this has something to do with the default basic models not having a sheathed mode so when people’s characters are put on top of said models their weapons are out (despite being sheathed for the specific players) and stay out until manually unsheathed and re-sheathed by the individual players.
Another one is continuous emotes such as /sit. My guild and I were all sitting around a campfire when i fell afoul of the meanie inactivity kick with no warning. Upon logging back in, everyone is standing on my screen despite not actually standing in the game itself.
I find this one the most foo. And im reasonably sure it has nothing to do with my laptop capabilities or my graphics settings (both the settings related to culling are on the “Highest” option).
I respect that these problems aren’t particularly… serious, but they are rather annoying – especially for roleplayers. If anything could be done to fix it so that other peoples characters are displayed accurately to other people I think it would be well appreciated!
