Guild Wars 2

Hey,
In my opinion we need some more effect to particular skills as Quality of Life improvements.

The thing is i.e. I am used to play with D/F ele in party however Swirling winds [Air skill 4 I belive] looks the same both friendly and unfriendly which makes life (and esport) harder.

My solution is: Add a red ring effect. Just like Slick Shoe works. Enemy’s Slick Shoe got red ring effect. Or maybe make it red swirling wind.

And there are more issue like this:
Ele
-Swirling Winds
-Fiery Greatsword/ice bow etc. – I would love to know which fgs is friend without hovering my mouse over them

Engi
-Med bandages – these little packets of health mainly from supply crate. When there are double supply crate on points you can tell which med pack is which

Ranger
-Entangle – sometimes visual effect of roots is bugged and doesnt appear at all, moreover roots itsself appears as passive enemy(yellow one). Since its pretty unique mechanic (you can destroy these roots) I would love better visual effect thats show up every time.

If u got any other skill that needs some more visual love that post it below – maybe someday someone will see it and will add some fixies (like warrior’s pin down and ranger’s Poinbt Blank Shot)

Engi:
Acid Bomb (Elixer Gun #4 ability) has no AOE ring and appears as a brown smear. Currently it is impossible to tell if it is from a friendly engi or enemy engi. It hits strongly on power builds (5-7k aoe damage).

We need less visual effects not more, it’s way too much as it is that it’s hard to tell what is going on a lot of the times.

I asked this like a year ago! Good luck to you frand!

Also add Guardian Sanctuary to that list!

Wahoo! Bye frands!

This. ANet really need to rethink pvp skill effects, more informative at a glance less blinding.

I hate those when soloq, but when on ts I just demand people to actually call their skills so I don’t have to second guess.

Less effects please. Having flashy stuff in your screen is not gameplay. I want to be able to know what’s going on. Having a 4v4 or 5v5 fight at a point is already bad enough.

People seem to be missing the point the OP is trying to make, he doesn’t mean visual effects, he means CLARITY effects.

Which we all want.

Wile i agree on clarity effects, i would be willing to settle for some more humph effects on characters hitting with there weapons. You know like when you use your 1 or 2 skills so it shows that it has a little more kick when it hits it’s target.
