Guild Wars 2

Disclaimer: This is not a Dev-Bash-Post. I love Guildwars and I love Final Fantasy VII.

Remember those nice looking particles on certain enemies? Throw in some jade and you will get a taste of how gaming in the 90s felt. Jade Winds turns all the nice particles into jade-colored giant pixels.

The worst offender on this seems to be the Anomaly in the Thaumanova Fractal. Seriously, words and pictures can not describe that graphical anomaly that Jade Winds produces here. Test it for yourself.

Other examples are Ice Elementals and Flame Effigies and even the Dredge in the Molten Duo Fractal gets a Jadepack and they all feel like fighting Mobs back in the FF7 Days.

I am at work at the moment but maybe I can take some pictures in the evening or someone else posts a video. The Devs did a great job with the jade coating (Jade Maws Tentacles look absolutely lovely when jaded) but the particle effects have to be fixed before Launch :-)

P.S.: Feel free to post pictures/links in this Thread

An Example of a Flame Effigy

some particles are cubes with a texture that makes them look like particles (see attachment, black is replaced by transparent color). Jade winds replaces all the textures with the jade one that has no alpha channel.

what they need to do is make that jade texture doesn’t overwrite the alpha channel or simply exclude some textures/materials.
