Guild Wars 2

Traps and effects all over the game fail to show up since the recent patch. Non-transparent ghosts and ranger spirits aren’t game breaking, but this is a huge issue when it comes to environment traps. I’m in the Aetherblade Retreat jumping puzzle right now and I can’t see any steam vents, thus making it impossible to finish.

Note that I did NOT change any of my graphics settings before and after the recent patch.

The same goes for different AoE skill effects like Static field. I wonder how allies are supposed to finish combo fields they don’t even see. They don’t even hear them, because the sound of some skills (Static Field, Meteor Shower, sometimes all skills around are mute, etc.) bugs out too since the last patch.

“Tuning down” skill effects and environmental effects when much is going on on the screen is ok. But making skills totally invisible… Not the best idea – especially when thinking of above mentioned traps or AoE fields in WvW…

I don’t see any sense in deactivating PvE culling for players and enemies, but then make skills invisible instead – again without any option to deactivate “skill and environmental trap culling”…

I hope this gets some attention soon.
