Visual Changes should be at the local level
Half the charm of GW2 is the visuals.
I don’t see why the hell you would make them look worse for everyone rather than add a slider like they’ve done in the past for character population etc.
Seriously. this should be our choice if we want particle chaos or not.
I love it and a lot of folks are not happy at all with these changes. Eles looks stupid now.
Don’t forget that’s how every other MMO does it also.
What annoys me the most is that they keep doing these things with no communication, so players don’t have a chance to provide feedback, and then they wonder why the forums are always so negative.
Couldn’t agree more.
It is hilarious. Especially with that epic wind up the actual pitch is comical. I’m hoping the sudden change was just a hurried fix for pvp with a plan on implementing the option for it soon after. Do they actually review these things?
Why didn’t they just make it turn-offable in the settings?

I honestly have no clue as to why. The idea seems so obvious and many other games do it. Why would you force the change on everyone and in every situation? Now my ele’s fireball is ruined, alongside plenty of other animations. I just noticed the amazing job that they did on the engineer flamethrower auto as well. I can’t see it most of the time even when I’m alone.
This is all just very depressing and it really discourages me from playing my ele. Fireball is the animation I see the most and every time I see it, I get reminded that one of my favorite skill effects was turned into one of the worst in the game.
