Logging onto my ele and throwing little flaming golf balls was pretty funny. Nice gag, truly hilarious. You can change it back now.
Uh… I am assuming this is a joke because:
1) Nobody asked for it.
2) Other animations that are just as “noisy” remain unchanged.
3) The wind up animation still has a ton of fire.
4) If you really want this in your game it should be a check box on the options menu, not mandatory for everyone.
5) If this is a real issue why did it take 3 years to get addressed?
6) If this is slowing down a player’s pc, then it’s time for a new pc.
But since all of that is really really obvious, there’s no way this was a serious change. April fools come early! Good one guys!
You think it’s a joke, they think it’s totally serious and necessary and stuff. That is the reality now. You throw tiny ignited matches as an auto-attack from now on. Deal with it!
ANET! THIS IS NOT HOW YOU REDUCE PARTICLE EFFECTS!
I know what Anet is trying to do…they want to make the game easier to watch for raids and esports, but this is the dumbest animation change ever! Give us back the fireball!
OR, make it so that everybody else sees the matchstick instead of fireball, while those who are playing the ele still see the fireball animation on our toons!
I can’t belive this HORRIBLE change! ANET switch it back please!
Guild Wars 2 is known, loved and played for two main reasons: graphics and gameplay. I play this game for two main reasons: graphical “noise” and gameplay. If graphical “noise” is slowly dissapearing so will you’re player base ANET! I will be amongst them! I don’t want to see this beautiful game with awesome graphics turn into WOW! No way!
I can’t belive how stupid the autoattack on my ele looks now! I wanna cry and puke in the same time! ANET switch it back please because I for one build my gaming PC for one reason only: the graphics of Guild Wars 2! That’s the main reason I play Guild Wars 2 and ONLY Guild Wars 2! Otherwise WOW is waiting for me! Your Gem Store will miss me too!
Guild Wars 2 is lacking a good storyline and content is at a bare minimum! (I have played this game from the start and after 3 years I need more dungeons and fractals!) You want this game to live? Make more dungeons, more fractals, more maps like silverwastes! (the best open world instance in Guild Wars 2 BY FAR!) Don’t destroy the graphical “noise” that made this game to be loved and played by so many!
LISTEN to you’re players ANET! We are the bread on you’re table! We want the fireball back! If you want my money ANET I want my fireball! I won’t make any purchases from Gem Store from now on until I get my fireball back!
