Aenaos.8160 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I notice this heavily in WvW maps ,and rarely in the PvE maps.There are random spell and hit effects playing on structures,keep and tower walls etc,and in the general environment,rock formations,ground etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDjitsu.7895 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I can second that. Mostly in WvW for me. There's even the sounds from the effects. I've been meaning to take a SS, but I always forget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Jericho.8609 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I'm getting this too, and I noticed it's when there's a zerg nearby, as it happened a lot to me today while map completing Lake Doric. I was was close to the Centaur camp where everyone farms leather and that's when the random spells like a Necro's Feast if Corruption just kept reappearing on the side of my screen with the sounds and all. A few Mesmer clone shattering sounds I heard as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxof.8752 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 same, saw the sparks effect on wall, on ground, time to time, most of the time at the 9 o'clock of the screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eutuxia.1537 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Same here. Happens way too often in wvw than pve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemesis.2019 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Same here, it can mess you up in WVW, since you hear the effects going off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxof.8752 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 hard to do still screencap other than video, but manage to capture one, this time at my 3 o'clock:https://ibb.co/dFZuFm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxof.8752 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 in wvw:https://ibb.co/kdvDamBTW, the strange effects only appear when you are moving, if you standing, it stops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiscan.8345 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 IDK if its a bug (unlikely) or if it was added to the game intentionally - if it was intentionally, I would really love to know how the team-meeting went where they decided to add this "feature":A: Dudes, dudes! Lets add random spell-effects to a competitive mode that sound like enemies are nearby!!!B: HAHAHAH!!!! GREAT IDEA!!!!C: LOL!!! Yeah let those noobs search their keeps for non-existing enemies!!! HAHAHA!!!A: And next year we will just kill the players randomly and give them debuffs!!! HAHAHAHA!!! That will be SO hilarious!!!!Sorry, but I'm really, really annoyed that they add stuff like this to WvW where its nothing but utterly annoying and distracting.

Spanky.2957 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 It's not intentional, and it's happened before as well with the annual release of the Halloween content. Give it time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undead Lives.7045 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Definitely not exclusive to WvW. I've seen it most often in PvE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
