With PvE culling removed on the 20th

I haven’t seen any information regarding adjusting settings so far like you can do in WvW. So does that mean that my PC will officially blow up the next time I want to do a World Boss or something similar that gathers a trillion players in one spot?

I’m already shivering in terror as we speak as my PC isn’t the most super hardcore one and it already struggles in places like Pavillion farm and world bosses.
With PvE culling gone, I fear the game will be unplayable for me in several places in the game.

The setting adjustments you can make currently will expand beyond just WvW, and simply be a game wide setting you apply for culling rules. For most folks, this means you can adjust the settings to actually improve your performance over current performance if you wish, since fallback models and name-tags are cheaper than full model renders.

If you do want to turn everything up to insane, you also now have that option to see an extremely large number of people in all their graphics glory. The choice is entirely yours!
