Guild Wars 2

I like the idea of facets seen as a visual effect in the ground, and the dragon motif in the middle circle, but maybe this middle circle should be transparent instead of a gaudy purple/blue/red/whatever, seems a little annoying for the user and other players…

Thoughts?

I like the idea too but I definitely think they should make the circle less noticeable, transparency is a pretty good idea. I don’t mind the outer symbols staying as they are but having the huge circle under my character at all times is already a little annoying I agree.

I agree with you. A visual for facets is fine— although not necessary IMO. However, if they stick with it, they should choose one color or go transparent and stop with the pulsing. It is especially annoying on stairs.

I read that the color is also migraine-inducing in migraine sufferers. I sincerely hope they change it.

man my guildie was complaining about it too but I thought he was the only one. I think the auras should be a greenish blue

It also does weird things when near a wall or floor ramp, making it more big than intended. It happens with all AoEs, but this area is a perma-purple pulsating one making this problem a little bit annoying
