Guild Wars 2

I had another thread regarding this, but I can’t find it.

Don’t through each skill and adjust the noise level. It will never work, as “noise” is cumulative depending on the number of people. There have been times where the boss is completely obscured by skills because there are 40 players attacking it. This strategy to this real problem will never work.

Instead, give all skills a separate alpha channel. Any skill not your own would be affected by this alpha channel and would be adjustable in the options menu. On top of that, any skill that is a combo field, would have an alpha que, so that the current combo field is displayed fully with any combo field on top that is next in line is faded, but still seen.

Done.
