Guild Wars 2

in the canopy over verdant brink during the daytime, these are very difficult to make out against the… general white swirliness.

Could they somehow be made more noticeble specifically when gliding? something to contrast them better against whatever background they’re against.

I had no problem seeing them

are you right up in the sky? looking for them amongst the clouds? surrounded by white mist glowing from the daytime sun?

it’s just about impossible, especially for the really small ones.

Edit: example (this is one of the MORE visible ones)
edit2: try spotting that against that bright white patch there
edit3: trust me… it’s there

Currently the only way to access the canopy in VB, without using a pact chopper near the end of the event cycle, is to use the updrafts on high ground.

I love this idea, but the updrafts are insanely difficult to spot in the clouds, even on low settings. Please consider making updrafts stand out a bit more, or perhaps add togglable map marks that show updraft locations when gliding

Noone else has had any issues with this?

is there some graphical setting i can change to improve my experience?

Mine are waaaaaaaay more visible. Like super obvious.
Maybe because all my graphic settings are on none and low and the swirls get less shiney? But really no idea why yours are almost invisible.

hm. i hope this gets addressed, then. having to lower graphics settings for some reason other than hardware constraints seems a little silly.

I can say I did find an invisible updraft last night…only reason I found it was there was because I flew into it and rose up…this particular one has no visible graphics…and I couldn’t find it again if I tried.

I struggle to see them during daytime as well. Ive started just memorizing where they are considering the accursed things are invisible during the day.

This is still a big issue for those with less than optimal eyesight

There’s 2 ways to reach the canopy in VB that I found so far without the Pact Chopper, but I agree it’s hard to see the updrafts when you’re high enough

Has anyone mapped these updrafts yet?
