Guild Wars 2

I just starting noticing this a couple of days ago on my mesmer and it only happens on Illusions (clones don’t seem to produce this effect). Maybe I never noticed it before, however it doesn’t seem right. I’ve messed with all of my settings and have been playing with this hardware on multiple characters for a couple of months since coming back to the game with no issue.

The “glitch” seems to be squares that appear about the arms, that rotate over and over and show my characters face inside of it. Or maybe its not a glitch?

It happens a lot, it’s because of the 3d models… I won’t go into detail, I’m sure aNet knows why. An easy fix is to reduce your particle sight with graphic setting. I think this is the third post today that I’ve said the exact same thing for.

Thank you Melborne, I’ve seen numerous posts about illusion glitches, and its the only thing in the game that does it, don’t have trouble with anything else. I just can’t seem to find the right setting to lower to get it to go away.

Character Model Quality, the choice that you set for how many high-quality characters can be rendered on the screen at once is the slider that fixes it. Setting that to “lowest” fixes it. Doesn’t seem to mess with npc’s or monsters graphically on the screen so I can’t tell any differences on having it set to lowest. No clue if that will change when I get into a place like LA or WvW. Going to test that out.

For what its worth, I noticed that it seems to happen on the arms, and when I removed the “Radiant Vambraces” skin, it stopped doing it. Also happens when I’m stealthed, definitely an issue with the skin itself. Everything is fine with a different pair of gloves equipped or when I turn them off.

Does it while I’m in stealth. Tested with different gloves and different abilities as well as all of the graphical sliders. Its definitely only happening when the skin is applied.
