Guild Wars 2

I dislike the new red rings, they don’t look very good and are kind of distracting compared to the old ones.

Can we at least get an option to choose the old ones?

+1 for more options, even though the current ones are superior by far.

It looks terrible to non-colourblind players and really messes with the aesthetic of the game.

In places like CoE it shimmers and can give you a headache.

Having an option is really one of those no brainer solutions.

I don’t mind the looks, but I mind the blinking, because I sometimes forget that AOE is there. If it’s going to blink, it needs to do it a lot faster.

When did this start? I don’t see it in patch notes & I’ve only just noticed it. It really threw me off when I first saw it, thought maybe it was something different than the old red circles.

After playing more I’ve decided I hate the new aoe circles. Their pulse is distracting and too slow. It makes me think the circle is disappearing and then suddenly it’s back. I’d love an option to make the old ones available.

The Aoe circles should all have their own Symbol i think.As of now every AOE type displays the same red circle. How about they give different type of AOE’s their own individual circle,or even a symbol inside.So you can actually learn to identify the types of AOE’s being places on the floor.

Something like below.

Please no different symbols. Don’t make mechanics play the game for you please. Learn tells from watching enemies cast movements. Size of red circle is a great indicator already. Please don’t make it easier than it already is…

But. Yes, I’d love an option for old AOE rings. They really annoy the crap out of me >.> Especially when your in a tight spot and the flames are all over the screen. SO annoying and distracting.

I don’t mind them. They’re easier to see.

it’s not about making things easier, it’s about making things look better.
the current cirles look lame, just a line to indicate where the spell is.

we need some good looking spell cirles, the ones with runes and spell symbols.

they want to make a dynamic game yet they pay no expense on making the game look dynamic, lame cirles makes the AOE spells/skills look cheap and cheesy while spell circles with all kinds of runes and symbols enriches the game by so much.

New circles are distracting, would love to see an option to turn them off.

To be honest, I played all last night and all day today and until I came to the forums, I noticed no new red circles. Is this PvE only?

actually thats the point, before there were to many ppl complaining that they keep on missing the hint of a circle so they made them more noticable.

Yes but they didn’t take into consideration how distracting they actually were in situations. Just looking at the screenshots from CoE, there needs to be an option to revert to old for those struggling with the new animaitons
