yeah, something like this would be cool. or just a slider from ultra simple ‘pew pew’ effects to wizard of oz tornado we have now.

I agree. It would solve many problems if we could turn off all but our own effects. Steal the idea from Warhammer. It made large scale battles a breeze on my aging system in that game.
I have a better system now but it still lags me to death in the big stuff.
Definitely agree – one thing that surprised me in GW2 was the over the top spell effects… as mentioned, you can’t really see what’s going on on what the target is. Totally detracts from realism and is probably more at home in a childish Korean MMO. Simplicity is key and I would greatly appreciate the ability to change/toggle the silly spell effects….
Totally agree. Bursting effects of magic in a mass fight look cheap actually.
I enjoy them when soloing though
I agree aswell. It would probably reduce the robotic-spikes in a high populated battle too.
Sure would be nice to have this option. I remember using it all the time raiding in EQ1 , was a lifesaver when you had 50+ nuking the kitten out of mob

If they give the option to turn off the big weapon/spell effects then they’ll need to give the option of a casting bar for interrupts. I personally would rather see the cast bar than a million fireworks going off when doing a big event. Would definitely help bring in some people on the real low end systems also.
With the spell effects the way they are now, I stay away from the big events like Jormag and WvWvW because it lags me too much. And I have a feeling even if I upgraded my CPU/MoBo that I would still lag in big 100+ player events.
