Something needs to be done about the Post Processing effects in the game option. It controls several options all together, and frankly, I find it annoying to have so many important graphic options clustered into one option.
I like my light rays, I like the distance lod, distortion, and other effects that it causes. But the I HATE the bloom. The bloom in GW2 is simply to much to handle, and as well as the character outline. Which is the single most thing that keeps me from having post processing turned on. At very least, could we get a option to turn character outlines on and off without having to disable post processing?
I don’t know what the policy is on bumping old topics, but I support this wholeheartedly. My gripes are exactly the same as the OP – I like light rays, depth of field, distortion and such, but the bloom is ridiculously over-the-top and I would like to disable it and the character outlines without affecting the other effects.
There’s no reason for these effects to all be lumped together like this – it’s not like they’re dependent upon each other or anything. Please, give this serious consideration! It wouldn’t even take much work!
Edit: Attached is a screenshot showing just how terrible the bloom can get. Look at how washed out it is! Look at how much detail is completely lost! This is not how bloom is supposed to work!
