Guild Wars 2

Hi,

I’d like to see an option to turn off the green outline around objects and players without having to turn off post-processing. It detracts from the immersion for me, and it kind of unnecessary since the mouse-over highlights at the same time.

Thanks!

PS, you guys are awesome!

Indeed, I would like this too, its really annoying, makes the game look cel-shaded which I dislike very much, I know the artwork is stylized but its not full on cartoon, we shouldn’t need outlines on mobs…

aggree totaly , outlineing destroys the 3D feel of environment in my humbe opinion.

Honestly it just ruins screenshots for me. I’d be fine just having it turn off when you toggle the hud, but an option to toggle the lines separately would be nice.

Yes! I fully support this.

I concur. This has ruined many a great screenshot for me and it honestly provides zero help for me regularly. I just want to toggle it off.

Agreed. Personally I’d like outlines, however I do not want that terrible blur.. I’m sorry that is supposed to be bloom I guess even though it is awful low quality blur.
All post should be separate.

Would be great to be able to turn this off – or better yet to scale down the opacity of it, making it a little more subtle.

I agree, it´s nice to have the option to do this.

Fully agree It detracts from the immersion. Love the game, but its the first thing I noted when I started playing.

Thing is, it used to be much, much worse. In the early demos, everything was glowing neon green or red. They’ve actually already toned it down a LOT from how it used to be. Honestly, I’ve never been bothered by it in the actual release.

Totally agree! I don’t like the outline at all. I find it terribly distracting and looks very out of place to me.

God yes toggle this monstrosity!!!! I hate it with a passion and having to turn off Post processing to get rid of it is freaking insane….. BE GONE GOOFY OUTLINES!!!!

An old topic, but I’m just throwing my support behind this. I like the outline normally, but it completely ruins screenshots. At the very least, it should get disabled when you hide the hud. I really don’t like disabling all the other post processing effects just to disable the green outline in screens.

Why would you create a 3D invironment and create a green outline to make the characters became 2D? You have Name, Bar, and Circle Indicators on the characters already, so what is it with the green outline? Please developers. If you don’t want to turn the green outline off, please give us an option to make it null or black. I was into the game most of the time until I realized that I am killing a piece of drawing with green outline. So please fix or give option to turn it off.

Always disliked this outline. It totally ruins the aesthetic and it can turn any fantastic armor ugly.
Would love an option to disable this.

Though I’ve become used to it, I’m not a fan either. I wouldn’t go so far as to call it a major issue, but an option to toggle the outline would certainly be nice.

It’s unnecessary and detracts from the look and feel of the game in general.
