Guild Wars 2

Please Anet, I really wish we had an option to disable the bloom (or whatever similar effect you use) without having to disable all the post processing effects.

I’d like to play with the post processing option enabled, it has some very interesting effects… heck, some areas look kinda dull without all the effects enabled. But due to this over used bloom effect, I won’t. I’ve never liked Bloom in other games (seriously, the world does not GLOW all the kittening time), and I sure don’t like it at all in GW2.

Or tone it down, idk.

Thanks.

I agree that the bloom is a little over the top and should be toned down. Looks like one of those games that came up when bloom was first introduced, it’s just too much glow on everything.

Does bloom affect draw distance? For me, the faded distances look silly and make the maps seem ridiculously small. That’s not GW2’s unique art style, that’s just poor graphics.

Regardless, the bloom is a problem in near-distance objects. I’d like to see the “glow” GONE on just about everything.

Was about to quit GW2 less than 2 months in because the graphics were so poor and overrated, but then I turned off anti-aliasing and post-processing and things were tolerable.
