Guild Wars 2

With each new “tweak” to the over all flashiness of GW2’s spells, they get less and less impressive or enjoyable to watch.
Yes, yes I know that a majority of people are, apparently, turned off by flashy particle effects and shiny spells. And those pretty spells can obscure sight for people in big groups or squads. However, for someone like me, the dulled down visuals really takes away from my enjoyment of the game.
I would personally like to see Anet implement something that’s already been done in another MMO – Everquest 2. That is, a slider that can turn down the particle effects for you.
What would this do? Well, it would give players control over just how much flash and sparkle they want from the game’s spell effects AND it would keep other players, like me, who enjoy big explosions and bright lights happy because we could keep it cranked up at all times. Yes, the effects would always be client-side (i think that’s the right term?) and not effect the server.
On that note, I wish there was a more dedicated feedback forum or feedback button in the game. rubs chin Ah well.
