Guild Wars 2

hm just made the juggernaut and I dont know is it a bug or what, I am using celestial dye on my char but metallic effect is wrong I think it should be whiter right or?

and look at this…hm…strawberry dye and weird black when unseathe weapon.

It depends on the background light of the zone. In Arah it can turn purple even if you dyed it white and gold.

its like in some areas work in some don’t…ppl noticed that too asking why my jugg is having strange colors and not metallic effect. first picture is from modniir world boss (strange color no reflection at all on armor…like some kind weird dark blue)
and second picture is metallic effect in fire ele world boss what it should be all the times.

What are your graphics set to? Do you have shaders or anything else that might affect the character’s lighting set to low? Does anyone know if the “reflections” setting has an effect on the juggernaut effect?

I think the effect also picks up environment colors mostly. It might even act weird since sylvari armor is different from metal armors.

The special effect gives you a “metallic” sheen. That doesn’t mean you glow. It means you reflect. You need light. Chrome trim on a car doesn’t put out any light at night either, but it can be quite blinding under the sun. The stronger the light, the greater the effect.

as you can see on the first picture of modniir map i do not reflect anything. And i get same thing if i am on open map or there when the screenshot was taken. Its like 1/3 chance of not getting right animation on some maps.
and this is my graphic settings. 15-20 fps on world bosses with lots of ppl..and 50-70 fps in dungeons.

The juggernaut’s liquid metal colors are affected by the ambient light in the zone, not necessarily by the dye you choose, though it can have a minor effect.

well i’ve taken picture in harathi hinterlands and no ambient light on my armor. maybe some bug or something..but as i said so…when i dont have any effect from juggernaut my armor is dark blue and it dont matter the area i am in. Maybe my game is broken or something then.
