PC vs NPC rendering priority

[Kimbles01]

I play on PC and I have this problem as well. It may just be because my computer is horrible and I'm using hardware that's 6 years old, but... I pretty much can't play the game any time during the day, period. I can't do fates because the mobs never show up for me, quest npc's take FOREVER to render and show up for me (it takes me about 5 minutes to turn in a quest and take another), mobs and field objects also take forever to render and show up, so there's pretty much a 2 or 3 minute delay on EVERYTHING I have to do. My only option at this point is to play the game after midnight, since that's the only time I can really even DO anything. After midnight when most players have logged off, this problem is pretty much non-existent.

I didn't have this problem until a few days ago, when they increased the amount of players that can be on a server. They really do need to modify the rendering priority. Trying to run around and actually play the game, and instead of rendering the small handful of things I actually need to be rendered, the game decides to first render 50+ players around me, who don't affect me in any way whatsoever, that ALL look different and are ALL wearing completely different gear (most of the time), just creating more work on the CPU and GPU. Not saying that players shouldn't be rendered, but NPC's DEFINITELY need to take priority to be rendered before players.
