Egrimm Van Horstmann.7921 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Do you think the visual effects are excessive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randulf.7614 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 We dont need a poll for this. It is excessive, even Anet themselves have admitted it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oglaf.1074 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Needs an option to turn it all off. Especially in Raids where Anet sure love to have the bosses poop out “AoE circles” to be avoided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zlater.6789 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 This is only a problem in wing 5. Please make wing 5 less cluttered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juhani.5361 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 This issue can't be raised often enough! Last night, I did the "Butch" bounty in Crystal Oasis. I've switched to super shade on my scourge because of the changes, so I'm not sure if it was always this big, or the sand effects that bright, but gods. Combined with the constant white damage-taken borders, the bright desert sky, my own kitten effects taking up the entire screen, I couldn't even read what the commander was saying. The text was obscured by mine, the boss', and everyone else's combat effects. Pink mesmer stuff, lots of blue, the huge sword-wall thing, lots of boss and mini-moa noise... I think the boss was a bird, but I'm not really sure. To call the whole event a cluster-kitten is an understatement.Sorry to the commander if I borked things up. I couldn't actually see what you were chat-bubbling :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I couldn't believe how invisible my character was along with my target and ALL of the tells. You just cross your finger and hope you're safe... but then drop dead because you were standing in one of those fire trails on the ground that was impossible to see. It's just wayyyyyy too much.

Glowy stuff sells better on the gem store/trading post too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zedek.8932 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Excelsior.I might play the profession with the most subtle effects (not surprising though) but sometimes it is too much when people aroind me or bosses do their stuff. But then, artists need those effects in a video game which is by nature an audio-visual media. When I watch a movie and it has the infamous cinema way of sound editing (quiet dialogues but super loud action compared to the rest) I gotta jump for the remote control of my stereo. But after all it is a part of that scene. If boss fights or spell effects look like 50 cent kids firework I would be underwhelmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen.5837 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 It's not a big problem for me, although an option to turn it off is nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mordalus.8146 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 God yes. This is why I stopped playing, except for living world episodes, and stopped buying gems. Anet can’t fix it or they would have years ago. ESO allows you to turn off other people’s spell effects except for the ones they require synergy with other players. It makes it so much easier to see tells. I don’t know why Anet can’t accomplish this after all these years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
