Dear Anet,

Customer support redirected me to the Suggestion Board and afterwards pointed me here, since the Suggestion Board was moved to the archives. I am using Nvidia 3D Vision Goggles with the Helix mod!
Even though the game in general looks breathtaking in 3D, there are still a few minor and two rather major bugs:

  • Mouse Cursor Depth: The cursor jumps around while hovering over objects rendered at different levels of depth. I really noticed it while fighting the Nightmare Tree. It makes precise targeting rather hard. It would be great if the cursor could have the same depth as the interface and remain at that level regardless of what’s happening in game.
  • Map Icon Depth: Waypoints, POI’s etc. are completely off. You have to disable 3D to navigate the world map unless you can locate the WP’s blindly (Which I can – should I be worried about the amount of time I spend in Tyria?)

Minor issues:

  • Give the interface depth! Goes hand in hand with the mouse cursor issue. It’s not a problem but rather a visual improvement. Helix Mod addresses this but any screen border will then be several pixels away from the actual border of the screen (underwater, red border in combat etc.)
  • Background in cutscenes (will be retired but still…), background in loading screen (Bad first impression when you are using 3D Vision for the first time) are missing any depth. (Fixed by Helix)
  • Some shadows with ultra settings

Suggestion:

  • Give us an immersive mode that’s built into the game! I don’t need my skill bar to be visible all the time etc. : )
