Guild Wars 2

Some of the higher areas in Verdant Brink have very over-the-top light effects. They dont look natural at all for me (doesn’t matter what direction im looking at), and its like someone is poiting a flashlight at your face every few seconds.

Im aware you can hide that by turning the shaders off, but then you loose alot of the cool effects on your armor.

Anyone else feels the same about that or is it just bothering me?

Try turning “Light Adaption” off in the options, maybe that helps you.

That was already turned off

I agree, there are times where there is a REALLY bright fog-like effect.

it’s smoke. There’s a lot of fires going on. Though, as with real smoke, it does occasionally make things very hard to see.

ok, so it’s not just me. It was actually making my eyes hurt and I ended up with a migraine last night.

I enjoy playing on full graphics, so I hope they’ll be able to make some adjustments to make the light in those areas less painful to play in.

Yes there’s usually smoke and dust involved, but thats not what’s bothering me. The problem is that periodic flashes of light hit the foggy screen and make everything go super bright.
