it basically is an option that lowers your fps for the purpose of making the game look more dull. like wth I don’t understand what it does, post processing on none has colors and everything (this is what I would think would be the high option) while post processing on high is making everything look more grey

D/D Elementalist takes no skill but is good at everything in the game.
Mesmer is unfun to play against and does everything better than thieves.
Hoping those two get gutted with nerfs

According to Wikipedia, here’s what Post-Processing can be used for in 3D-rendering:

  • High dynamic range rendering
  • Bloom
  • Motion blur
  • Screen Space Ambient Occlusion
  • Cel shading
  • Crepuscular rays
  • Film grain simulation
  • Depth of field
  • Shadow mapping

Some of those are used in-game

Some people like it. I personally prefer if everything looks like lego so I can get high FPS even on laptops.

If I had a top of the line super duper PC getting 100000FPS on all graphic settings maxed, I’d still make it all lowest setting lego mode.

The tool tip when you hover above the option tells you what it does. If you don’t think the added “pretty” is worth the loss in framerate or if you think that it’s not “pretty” at all, by all means turn it off.

Technically it’s a series of filters that are used to modify the already rendered image before it’s displayed. The FXAA is also a post processing filter, just called out separately as is depth of field.
