Guild Wars 2

Exactly what the title says.

My wife is epileptic – for all the particle effects in GW2 – the ONLY thing that flickers enough to induce a seizure is the flamethrower. If someone could put some effort into altering the effect (simply changing how rapidly it flicks the shadows around it would probably do it) that would be great.

Can you tone down a certain graphics option to help? I’m actually surprised of all the random flashy like things in game this is the only one that causes problems.

There’s no setting that helps, unfortunately – it’s not just flashes, it’s flicker rate. (think fireworks = ok vs strobe light = horribly evil.) The flamethrower is the only thing in game which strobes.

Bleh – Anyone know if they’re planning more graphics settings? Or maybe there’s a way to isolate the flame thrower effect on the video card settings? (it’s got the be the shadows flashing from dark to light that make it strobe) Biggest reason I hate engineers – nothing to do with the class or balance, entirely to do with the fact that they turn the monitor into a strobe light.
