Guild Wars 2

i was in couple of dungeons lately with my thief (i absolutely love that class) and what really pi**ed me off was a total ultra visual mess when other players used their spells.
i couldn’t see f*****g ANYTHING!!! nor my target!!!
the targeted npc represents a red circle on the ground. how the hell am i supposed to see that circle running across when everything i should see is visually BLOCKED by all the spell effects!! why should i see some fire or another aoe of some party members in pve enviroment!! i don’t need to! i only want to see my spells. not spells of other players!
——————————————————————————————————————————
so please…can you make an OPTION in graphic settings :
“COMPLETE disable of the spells effects visual other than mine”?
——————————————————————————————————————————
i play MELEE class..i NEED to SEE my target!
thanks

There is an option to turn down skill visuals…

i run a thief and have partied with purely spell casting types and have never had a problem with that. no idea how he is not visible to you.

well try to stand near some wall so the camera moves close to your character, there is an engineer facing you with the flamethrower, an elementalist casting some fire aoe c**p and the npc is between you and those guys..then you will see what i mean by “i see s**t nothing” + the fps drops to frikkin 0. and regarding spells in graphic settings i already set everything to as low as possible

There are some people who would like to turn it all off. :3

Thank you.

I agree entirely. I very much want the ability to straight up remove spell effects in this game. They ware way too obnoxious, and I’m not okay with screwing up gameplay for the sake of some pretty bs we’ve all seen thousands of times before.

People have been asking for this for a long time. What’s the hold up, here. It’s a simple slider/option.

The “Limit Effect LOD” does NOTHING.

Check it out Anet, there’s plenty of interest in this. Just take a look through your own forums.

Please, just throw it in there. If someone on your team thinks we’ll be shooting ourselves in the foot, they’re wrong. Let it be our own responsibility to make our own choices like this.

With some classes firing their spells on a boss it is very difficult to see important animations at all. Feels like fighting a light bulb.
Disabling Post Processing helps a little, though.
