Guild Wars 2

A few days ago my friends and myselfe went to AC explorable and while fighting some bosses i noticed that it was easyer for me to see what the boss is doing in the middle of all the particle effects becaus they are blue (they are ghosts anyway). My suggestion would be if A-net isn’t planing to tune down on the particle effects wouldn’t it be a good idea to outline the opponents with some kind of a visible glow or maybe eaven remake the particle effects in a way that they don’t overshadow the opponent. Let me know what you think about the idea. Maybe we can come up with a worthwile idea together.

ps. sry on my bad grammer

Please give us an option to tone it down. This is ridiculous.

this oh god this…. i love particles as much as next guy but… a scene from evil dead army of darkness comes to mind….

i’m blind! i’m blind! i’m blind!

/signed. bring back the boss glow to improve visibility.

Hahaha, this gave me a good laugh, thanks for that! xD

Totally in agreement here! Too many particle effects give me this weird, dream like feeling when I look at them for too long… Anyone else get this? I also get the same feeling when I haven’t had enough sleep, very strange.

I would like an option to turn off other players particle effects. Get 10-20 people on the screen and you can`t see anything but spells being spammed.

I would really love to see some kind of transparency glider for this effects.
In boss fights, especially when mages are around, u cant see s…t. Arkulin’s example pretty much says it all.

Just a suggestion, a option to turn down particle effects of other players that would not affect you. Mainly just things like combo fields which can effect your weapon load-outs would be emphasized and other particle effects except for enemy spells would be much dimmer/flashy. That and mainly be able to have a transparency slider for both Ally/enemy AoEs like mentioned above.

Yes please.

It’s nice to still see your own effects and those that you could combo with – but the rest is just for looks. You don’t really need to know if the guy next to you is hitting the target with his attacks, you need to know that you are.

Not sure about PvP – since you’re going to be the target and you’d want to know that, obviously.
