Guild Wars 2

Hi, I’ve been having lots of difficulty seeing the teleport circles in the Cairn arena. I’ve tried turning my settings to ’Best Performance’, aka all low, and checking ’Effect LOD’, but I’m still having a lot of difficulty seeing the circles due to everyone’s own effects and even people just physically covering them up.

Is there any way to increase the visibility of these twilight-colored teleport rings? If there’s not a setting then maybe there’s a mod out there that can help?

Thanks.

Nope, there’s no way to increase the visibility. They’re poorly designed and absolutely atrociously telegraphed, but you’ll just have to deal with the garbage for the encounter. Once your group gets the hang of it, it’s not really an issue to be teleported now and then unless you’re doing challenge mode.

i dont think they are atrociously telegraphed its more of a mater of paying attention to them to not get teleported

Yeah, try seeing a blandly-colored circle that has no sound effect or other cue while it’s covered by the visual spam of 2 chronomancers doing buff rotations, 2 PS warriors dropping fire fields, and probably a couple eles doing non-stop overloads.

How can you not see such a unique circle on the ground is beyond me.

I think the main issue is that they are the same colour as a lot of player AoE circles more than anything, if they were florescent blue or something they would be easier to see.

Having said that considering the wider raid and that as Pyro mentioned it’s not a huge deal being teleported I don’t think it should be high of a priority change. Certainly not when people have the special action button disappearing mid fight and other bugs in raids.

Lol think at me that I’m also colorblind! I have to zoom in at maximum to spot them.

These things are terrible to see. They have little to no verticality, no audio, and just having a few ground AOEs layered over them will render them near-invisible. One thing I’ve found helpful is having my guildies remove their legendaries to get rid of the footfalls. That helps a lot.

How can you see so well such a non-unique red circle on the ground whilst others are casting aoes is beyond me.

3 things I find help at cairn considerably:

turn shaders up to medium ( or above),
turn on effect lod,
turn off player & npc names ( two checkboxes).

The latter 2 for visibility of tells.

Maybe you would understand how it’s hard to see if you read the posts above yours that describe the issue in clear detail. Not only that, but bragging to us about how easy it is for you to see the circles doesn’t contribute to this thread as it doesn’t help in any way. So unless you have something useful, please bug off.

I’ll give that a try (turning off names and stuff), thanks for the info.
