since the latest hotfix the WvW NPCs arent visible at all. You just see their names when you are close. Character limitation on “Medium” did still show NPCs. Now I can stand right next to them and theyre invisible, even if I click them. When targeted, they got no avatar (see screenshot).
EDIT: regular envoirmental NPCs are still shown like the Hyleks or rabbits. Enemy guards are also NOT shown.
EDIT2: If you knock an enemy guard off its place, for example a sentry npc, then the Name will still be in place, the actual NPC will be tossed wherever the knockback tossed it.
