I’m pretty sure this has been suggested many times already, but I think it needs its own thread.

I downright hate bloom. In most areas of the game, disabling post-processing is much better graphics-wise than keeping it on. However, I can’t disable post-processing on some zones because then I miss on all other special effects, most prominently the “color filters”. For example, when I go into the Heart of the Mists or Sparkfly Fen and disable post-processing, it loses all its atmosphere because the colors and the feel are gone.

There should be an option to disable Bloom by itself.

Please, ArenaNet.

Bloom is indeed overdone in this game. I very much liked how they used it in GW1 – properly for things like snow in the sun.
I d rather see they just tone it down a little but options are always a good thing. I asked for the option to turn off depth blur and they got it into release – props to ANET.
