Guild Wars 2

Ok maybe I’m just totally oblivious lol But is the fire rings, as opposed to the old red circles for aoe dmg a new thing? It looks more like flaming rings that just a red circle. unless I missed it in this patch notes or previous?

I’m glad I’m not alone when I noticed this.

lol good, I’m only partially crazy then :P I wonder if this was in response to some color blind peoples complaints. It seemed like a problem for many, even some non colorblind people. Even if not, animation>red circle any day :P

Can we get a picture of the change for those of us not at our game computers?

Yeah, I am pretty sure that this is for colorblind people. I am partially colorblind so I decided to test one of the instances I have trouble telling the red from the ground (cliffside archdiviner) and it was much, much easier.

That’s…not easily identifiable as a hostile area of effect. Is this new thing an option? I think I’d prefer the old red ring over this.

That one doesn’t look red, uploading one in a second. But think friendly aoe stuff was changed too.

I’m colorblind and this is much much better for me. At times I’d have trouble seeing the old rings. Not in all situations, but enough of them.

Oops forgot to mention that was the friendly one.

The new circles might help in more grassy areas too. The moving/flickering should also draw more attention.

Now the question is why did they hide this from patch notes lol They deserve all the positive feedback they work for, why hide it from us ^^ hard to thank you for things when you don’t mention you did them and we have to play hide and seek :P

Oh, never mind…odd forum/computer bug. Nothing to see here…lol.

I’m loving the change, and I’m glad it’s helping out the colourblind folks too

Ehh, I noticed this too but then I just shrugged it off because the Puzzle pieces still exist.
I noticed it and I started typing in map chat “did they remove puzzle”… then I stopped and threw down a Shadow Refuge and saw the Puzzle pieces and deleted the message. >.> Guess I wasn’t going crazy. Just not paying attention. XD

Maybe they’re nolonger invisible in shallow water too. ;o

i finally saw all the circles (colorblind here) and i was amazed at how many in certain area they can be! no wonder i used to dodge improperly!

Ok this may be dumb, I’m not color blind and I’m not in game right now to check. But in the screenies the friendly circles look just like the not friendly circles. Wouldn’t the idea be to make the circle look different, not simply be different colors?

Edited well as the post above me proves I’m a dumbo and that’s what I get for talking about things I don’t know about!

you can actually tell easier if they are friendly or not, you’ll see for yourself.

Ok, today is really making me feel noob lol.. has anyone else noticed a color change with names, aggro type mobs being more red than non aggro, and overall color enhancement? Of did I somehow improve my graphics card by yelling at it yesterday..
