Guild Wars 2

I just noticed for the first time, when entering an area or zone via WP or coming out of the Dragonball event, the screen brightness and saturation was darker than it should be, then you see it adjust and go normal. It reminds me of dynamic contrast in tv’s where it adjusts to light conditions in the movie but this doesn’t keep adjusting.

For instance, loading out of the Dragonball event into Crown Pavilion, the screen was 10-20% darker, reds were deep, anything black was muddy and overly dark and then you see it adjust to normal. I teleported to a few zones via way points and every load had the same effect, depending on how dark the particular WP area was. I thought this was Splendid Mode on my monitor that I may have enabled but it wasn’t. I loaded a few games and none do it. It wasn’t doing it during the Christmas events at all and I ran a GTX 560 TI and changed to a GTX 950 SSC in the middle of it.

It’s not like the gamma issue posted a few pages back.

I played with the settings under graphics and saw no changes. I never changed the settings from what I had set when I installed the game at launch but I did try this before posting.

I have noticed the same since the patch of the 26th, and I don’t have any of the lighting options enabled.
