WvW graphics issue

Hey guys,

I noticed that when engaging zergs in WvW, I frequently do not see half the amount of opposing players until they are dead. Very frustrating. I assume this has to do with graphics settings, considering my computer setup should be able to render the graphics at high quality.

My system:
Intel i2500k
GFX: Radeon HD6950
8 MB RAM

I tried setting my graphics to the default "max performance" when going for WvW, but the problem persists. I also set shadows to "off". Still it persists. What might cause this issue and how to solve it?

Thanks for the advice, because this way, WvW is no fun at all.

Cheers,

Menno

Someone said a few days ago, that setting "LOD" to ultra, helps a bit. I do think I see a small difference there (or I'm imagining things), so try it out. However, I think we all have this problem, that we don't always even know we've just ran in the middle of the enemy zerg.

Its the culling. Its intentional to improve server performance apparently... Utter bollocks, but until they get a clue how to improve it... (I don't know, like Aion had maybe?!) Its all we have.

Works in our favour most of the time, but still bollocks.

Well tbh, it's mainly based on TS, where people apperantly see way more than I can see.

Edit: Noticed guru3D published Guild Wars 2 CAP profile today. Might be worth a shot. http://downloads.guru3d.com/AMD-Catalyst-Application-Profile---12.8-CAP2-download-2909.html

We often call people based on the spells seen, and also people at the front of the boon pack see more than the back as the culling is not friendly vs enemy specific, so people at the back have all the boons adding to the number of players to be culled.

I assure you no drivers will make a difference as its an intentional "feature"

this feature is sooo annoying, most of the time i am casting blindly hoping that my aoe lands on the invisible enemies

This also severely limits available competitive builds in WvW. Essentiall, "fire and forget" AoE becomes mandatory. No single target burst on someone you can't see

Burn all damage increasing effects + daggerstorm forward

Loot


works for me everytime!

And after its done use Short Bow and spam 2 =+10 bags per zerg kill

that's what i do, i jump where i expect them to be and spam 2 like a boss. still lowbie for daggerstorm ><

Yeah its pretty lame and turns most fights into a shit spam-fest

What kind of RAM is that? DDR2000? :O

Hehe, excuse me for typing fast at work ;-) You know what I mean, ey?

Yeye... trolling is a disease I tell you

yea..i wish they had something like alt+f12 in AION. It would greatly improve the fps and graph issues
