During some dynamic events it can sometimes be impossible to discern if a body has that “sparkly” effect around it or if a player is downed when everybody is spaming their abilities. Heck it can be hard to see “loot sparkles” if the ground is a sandy color and no other players are around! [Or post dynamic event when there are piles of centaur bodies on the ground
] It would also be helpful for finding drops in the more hectic WvW battles were you might not have the opportunity to comb the battle sight at you leisure later.
Possible solutions for making lootable bodies, downed players, and smaller bosses easier to see:
- Auto loot option. I don’t know about you but there has never been a time where I saw a sparkly body and decided not to investigate it to see if something useful dropped. Making changes to the UI wouldn’t be necessary (for this instance) at that point.
- Option to change the color of the “loot sparkle” effect
- Option to make lootable bodies or downed player visible through everything. Basically everything between you and the object would get super translucent. Almost x-ray like.
- An “assassin’s creed style” vision mode that temporarily washes out all textures and highlights loot/players in a brightly colored silhouettes.
