Guild Wars 2

I know a check box was added to the graphics settings in options, but it doesn’t seem to do anything. Is there anything new on this? Will we ever have a way to turn off the particle effects from skills? I feel I’m being blinded I can’t see a thing when fighting in wvw or anywhere for that matter when there are more then 10 people.

The only time I notice that option working is when dropping warbanners, and it has a graphic glitch like a delay of some sort. It’s annoying and doesn’t seem to be working.

never noticed a change. I wouldn’t be surprised if its a very limited change for only a handful of skills. When I used it I was expecting the Blinding zerg orgy of attacks to be reduced greatly. sadly it has not.

Maybe I’m reading it wrong but I thought the text box on the Graphics menu (assuming we’re talking about the one labelled Effect LOD) just reduced the amount of detail in particle effects, so they put less strain on your computer and were less likely to cause a crash.

I don’t think there’s anything to control how many particle effects you see.
