Grimstone.7546

Playing this game is like staring at a camera flash. I returned after 4 years away and while I've been enjoying myself and spending quite a bit on expansions and all, I ultimately play MMOs for the social component. Having mainly been solo as I re acclimated, I have this week began joining more group content and WVW. But, for me, it is completely unplayable. An effect is suppose to be a visual indicator of an event. It's information. Not only do these effects not communicate information when more than 3-4 people are on the screen, they reduce the information communicated to the user. This is exacerbated the more users that are on the screen. Oddly, it is a common issue in RvR/WvW games that large numbers of players induce performance issues. So not only are we forced to deal with some FPS drops, we're awarded the added difficulty of strobe light exposure. Darkening the monitor doesn't work. Heck, sunglasses don't even work! I sure felt silly for trying that one. As this is a major concern for me, I have been reading old Reddit posts, forums, and other places to try and find out how to eliminate these from the game. While I am not surprised, I am very disappointed to find your customers concerns have been completely ignored. It's a big enough issue that I won't continue to play the game as much since the activities I came here for (Social groups / WvW) are such poor experiences due to this issue. Otherwise, some really fascinating changes to the game that make it a lot of fun. Unfortunate.
