Guild Wars 2

Currently I’m having trouble with jumping puzzles and big group zergs (Tequatl anyone?) mostly because of the lag other people fighting in my vicinity cause- I’d just like to take those spell effects and turn them down a notch- or even disable ’em if there were no other options.. I was doing the jump puzzle in metrica and it was going surprisingly good (I never experienced such presicion in caledon) until other people showed up.. Seriously even if it meant I never saw boss AoEs coming I would love to have an option to turn the particle effects and whatnot down.

I have my settings all on low (par the native rendering- swithing to subsample rarely helps and it’s ugly) and running up to ~20 fps.
Please, if there is anything I could do- other than get a new laptop- tell me, I’m desperate for help.
