Guild Wars 2

Attached screen from a boss fight inside the new pavillon.

Looks totally clear and reduced to me!

Working as intended.
The reduced effect allowed you to see the upper left corner.

Joking. I had the same feeling. My eyes were hurting so bad that I stopped looking at the screen.

Thank good pve content is so mind numbing that I can do it without looking.

It’s actually an option you have to set. It does reduce the effects enough so that you can see the enemy but it’s still pretty bright.

It needs to reduce more.
If possible, only show your party buffs or just some really important spells like Combo fields.

Did you tick “Effects LOD” option at graphics menu ?

In WvW the effect culling is awful. You can’t see wall of wardings, guardian sanctuaries, static fields etc.
this game feels like a half baken potatoe. :/

Yeah I was really hoping for a slider, that way I can just straight up turn it off/lowest.

Be sure to re-set your graphic settings. The patch made mine to default ones.

Ah, I didn’t realise you had to actually set this option in your graphic settings. I spent the whole of last night staring at the screen thinking “this seems worse than usual”, lol.

I was thinking, why is everything seem smoother?

Some of it was, certainly. I didn’t have any lag at all, and was part of a huge zerg going round the events at the Queen’s Paviliion, so that was amazing. But the effects were blinding me completely, haha. Still, now I know where to turn that off, I’m really impressed with the improvements.
