WvW, End of Culling and PVE?!

Hello.

I just saw the great news for WvW.

But since January Patch that I started to have Culling in PVE for the first times, mainly in Meta Events where even Mobs are Invisible sometimes!

Then, does the end of Culling affects also PVE? Or do we need to get used to “Invisible Events” in PVE?

I would like only to say, that I know Culling is also also about our Computer… but, the game must think in every kind of PCs, not only with high-end Ones.

The initial release of this system will be for WvW only. There are additional complications we need to solve with PvE due to the number and variety of creatures on screen that WvW doesn’t need to account for. Later this year, we’ll be expanding as much of the changes to the PvE open world as we can as well.

Give everyone that worked on this a BIG kiss for me Colin. This is a huge deal!!!!!!!!!

Will World XP and Titles be retroactive?

WvW has gotten the short end every single patch. No one will disagree with this.

I will stand by my belief that WvW is in a fragile state and if you create a division with players in PvE, WvW will have a slow death.

I know many PvE players who want to love WvW but the progression is not there so they PvE. .

I feel like this progression system is important to start off on equal footing with everyone for this very reason: hook PvE players and then keep them in WvW because it’s fun and rewarding

You can't spectate a room if it's full...

This is intentional for performance reasons. We’ve been very clear on the limitations of the in-game spectator mode and how it is not a global observer mode. An observer mode that allows thousands of live viewers is much more difficult and complicated technology. What we have will still go a long way in fostering community building, learning, and shoutcasting.

I just want to point out that the current implementation might impede that a little. I am already seeing people getting mad at the observers taking up spots in a game.

So we have people trying to learn by spectating and people getting mad at those trying to learn. I don’t know how much of a community that can foster.

You should really create a separate pool of people for spectating and give them their own /spectator chat. That would go a long way in fostering a community. People could help each other and discuss things without impeding those actually playing

I would like inventory icons to have a different background for newly acquired items and when clicking on the icon above the minimap when you acquire something new. When I get a new trident or spear and I want to equip it, it is sometimes hard to find it in all of the item icons, especially when some share the same icon.

Also, I get confused on some events when there is a progress bar. Some progress upwards to completion and some progress downwards and I am not sure if I have noticed a pattern. Some indication about which is needed to complete the event would be super handy. Maybe a little arrow in the progress bar to indicate the completion direction? Sometimes when I stumble into an event where the progress bar is at the left end, I try to rush over to get in before it completes…but sometimes it goes up instead of down making those few seconds of panic unwarranted

Simple changes that I think would affect usability greatly!

In my opinion, Dailies are a shallow gameplay mechanic

What made you want to play a Sylvari?

I became instantly interested when they were redesigned. The fact that they are made of plant material everywhere makes them look distinct instead of being a human with plantlike features. Their eyebrows are leaves! Their hair can be leaves, wood, or even a mushroom! Their muscles are sculpted with leaves. They glow at night and in the dark!

Also with my second character I wanted to make a ranger as well as use a different race to experience a different story, but it just makes so much sense to have a ranger be a sylvari! So now I have two! I just love their innocence and curiosity.

I think it will be difficult to try a new race unfortunately!

The mission says “Regroup with the team and assess the situation” and when I go in the circle nothing happens.

Has anyone had this happen and fixed it?

Reason why we can't kick offline players?

I have tried to wrap my head around this:

  • Someone logs off without leaving the party: right clicking their portrait only gives “Report” option and not the expected “Kick from the party”
  • Traveling to Lion’s Arch allows you to kick them

This must be some architectural issue as I feel it would have been fixed a long time ago.

Can we have an update on this? Is it being worked on or is there some bigger issue?

Thanks!

Put it on the gem store. Profit!

While they are at it, put other carrier pigeon skin options on the gem store too :P
