This doesn't really matter though, after a certain point there isn't much difference to players between 50 people and 200 people within visible distance. You can just stop showing others past some cap, or throttle position updates to like 1 every 20 seconds or so and fill in the gaps with AI.
- weird-eye-issue 5y agoActually it makes a huge difference. You haven't played WoW have you?
- weird-eye-issue 5y agoTo the people downvoting me, I only said that because his response was directly about somebody mentioning World of Warcraft. In WoW, if they only limited you to seeing 50 people the game would feel completely different when you go into cities and do open world PVP and such. It would literally break the game. In fact when they released WoW Classic they had a new technology they called layering where even if you were in the same realm as somebody you could be on a different layer and therefore not see them. People absolutely hated it and went crazy. So that is why I asked him if he had played it since he said "at a certain point there isn't much difference to players between 50 people and 200 people within visible distance" which is just wrong.
- drak0n1c 5y agoOn HN to uphold civil discussion it’s best to avoid dismissive references and assumptions directed at “you”. Best to address the idea alone with your example/argument, rather than the imagined speaker. Otherwise it can be interpreted as needlessly antagonistic and will be downvoted.
- weird-eye-issue 5y agoThat's fair
