Guild Wars 2

“Miniatures have been hidden due to rising player population.”

Dear ANet,

I understand what this is for, but can you guys please just hide other players’ minis and not mine? Defeats the purpose, doesn’ kitten

Cheers.

P/S: Not sure which forum this should be in; feel free to move it where it belongs.

I have been playing GW1 and GW2 since their release dates. I have been an avid collector of miniatures since the start. It’s my big vanity thing that I just love and am happy with in both games.

But then came today’s update…which I loved because of all the new features with the miniatures, binding them to my account to summon any on any character. And I don’t have to click them to resummon on login or entering a new map!

But a few minutes after the update, I start playing in explorable maps…and my minis are gone. I can’t see them. I think it is ludicrous that the lovely miniature update has been basically nullified by this decision to hide the minis when the map is not even remotely full. In fact, just now I am playing in Sparkfly Fen, my mini is hidden because of “rising amount of players”, then two minutes later I get a popup stating this map is getting low amount of players, and if I’d like to volunteer to move to a higher populated one, I’d get a buff to XP, karma etc. YET, I still cannot summon my mini in this (two minutes later) supposed low population map instance. How does this make sense? Why go through all the trouble to make an awesome feature to the minis that so many players love, then we can’t see any of them anyway… It angers me, there has to be some workaround.

Please address this for all of us who love our little companions.

Please fix this issue, what is the point of the mini’s that we all worked hard to get now, no one can even see we have them…..

I think they turned the culling knob up all the way and over the next few days will dial it back as they fully understand the impact on a live server. Sort of the same way they rolled out the megaservers, a bit at a time.

I’m hoping this is just a bug, or like what Behellagh said, someone accidentally “turned the culling knob up all the way”. First day though, so I hope it’ll get fixed sooner than later.

Btw, what’s up with the “kitten” in my OP? It wasn’t anything vulgar at all. o_O

Look at the letters kitten replaced. Your original text is available under edit or quote. Hint, it’s the T in T & A, if you removed the space between words.

Good to see they have the word assassin on an OK list when they added that outfit. Kittenkittenin would have been confusing.

Ah, thanks for that. Yeah something to do with t. Tried spacing after/before punctuations, but doesn’t seem to work. Meh. XD

You would have to change it to the odd sounding “does it not”.
