All the animations that could have been reduced due to visual noise just the most annoying one stands untouched… Wells got overguted, chaos armor didnt think was even a problem (now it can be barely seen)… Yet the most problematic one stands untouched…
Srsly i cant even see my beautiful outfit with such a big purple flames….
Reduce alacrity visual noise already
If it weren’t for the purple flames, I’d never even notice that I have alacrity.
Allies are even worse, they don’t always watch their bar eagerly to see if they are getting their cooldowns reduced. The purple flames need to be obtrusive enough to get their attention.
Shut up. I love my purple fire and I hate these “reduce visual noise” changes.

The increased visual noise is one of the things I enjoy about HoT. I tried to play Wildstar, but every ability looking more like just another polygon zone instead of a cool power really turned me off.
The new visuals have been amazing.
No, because they clearly don’t want to give the option to enable it for those of us who like it.
At this point I’ll take the “visual noise” and whatever I can.
Alacrity is not even an activly game changing effect… You have, good, cd reduction ( also seen in your buffs bar/skills shown in green timer), you dont have it, less cd.
Now for example you walking in a gravity well cause u cant see it, or wasting your cds on a target under well of precog or ranged ppl hitting guys in magnetic aura cause they cant see it….
Dont be dull to say alacrity dont need to be changed…. cause u cant see some rly important effects like shock/magnetic aura when target also have alacrity..
Alacrity effect is simply too much… Deserves same treatment as might and some other boons.

All of this is wrong. Which is to say, none of this is right.
Such a short sighted argument…
What you have to adapt in your gameplay when a target has alacrity? Or when you have alacrity? (nothing for 1st probably expect some skills to come more often, spam your better skills more frequently for 2nd.. even when everyone can see that skills are rdy, no one needs a animation for that)
What you have to adapt when you see a target with a magntic aura? Spam magic bullet and projectiles on them right? And when you have magnetic aura? Dodge incoming projectiles cause they hurt!!! right?
What to do when you see a redlined well on the floor? Step inside obviously.
And if its not redlined? Blink out asap….
The force is definitively strong with you…
TL:DR Some animations are rly important.. others not. Alacrity is in the bottom of importance along with some other boons. If some auras/effects got gutted, alacrity should have been first..
There should be a option to have visual noise turned down ( like how it currently is ) and a option for it to be like how it was before. Then both people win.

I agree.. Yet there are still some visual effects that are more important than others.. Then those should be more visible.. Not the other way around… to the point that they even cloak that important effects.
Beautiful and bold animations, noisy or less noisy, graphic options or not, what im talking about is proportion. Proportion due to relevance/importance.

Yes I agree, if they come out with a option to be able to choose alacrity should have it’s visual noise reduced.

The problem is that some other important visual effects were already reduced…
Even before was kinda messy / “overloaded effect” to see auras ( for example) when a target had alacrity, now that all was reduced except alacrity, is barely possible…
Whats funny is that they keep ruining animations that nobody asked them too touch but leave the Herald Elite as is which actually has caused my game to crash several times.
I wonder if multiple simultaneous uses of chaotic release could be used to secure an SPVP advantage.
Co-ordinate a burst and then drop everyone’s FPS massively to mess up their dodges and skill activations etc.
It’d certainly be amusing to watch on stream.
They could always give it the ele treatment, and change it to a static sprite of a smiling gecko.
