Hey folks,

I'm looking into this. I believe this change was done as part of the prep work for finishing the transition to DX11 (which you'll hear more about early next year). I'm chatting with engineering this morning about what our options are. Hang tight.

Thank you! Much appreciated.

Is it only affecting the lower settings? I'm on high setting and Im seeing no changes

Yes, the off setting was removed and changed to low. Color grading and postprocessing is now forced for everyone regardless of the low setting

Have played since  beta and am only posting on the forums now to beg for this change to be reverted. Game looks awful and performs worse with forced color grading/mandatory post processing.

I have played Guild Wars 2 for 10 years without postprocessing for a reason. According to the update notes the "low" PP setting tooltip is intended to replace the OFF setting, but this forces color grading on all players. Is this actually an intentional element of the game design or a bug? If this is not a bug, it seems like a terrible idea to remove options from players that have no bearing on giving people advantages/disadvantages over others in gameplay, but that do affect players' enjoyment of the game and its performance.
