ArenaNet Staff Popular Post Catmander Neko.5643 Posted November 8, 2021 ArenaNet Staff Popular Post Share Posted November 8, 2021 Hello Tyrians, When we released the Legendary Armory feature on July 13, one of the top pieces of feedback we heard was for the ability to hide the visual effects of the legendary trinkets Aurora, Vision, and Coalescence. At that time we unfortunately didn’t have the dev bandwidth available to tackle the request. The work that we’d need to do to make the visual effects toggleable was a non-trivial effort. We were (and still are) hard at work on the End of Dragons expansion. Since then, a member of our engineering team identified a new approach to the stacking buff problem we previously explained that would not add technical or design debt (bookah speak: the idea that doing the seemingly simple solution now, will cost us much more time later than the simple solution saved us to begin with), and after some iteration and refactoring, we landed on a satisfactory implementation. Add a healthy portion of testing, bake for 3-4 weeks in our release pipeline (the average time from the moment something is finished and ok-ed to be released, to actually being in a release) and you end up with a checkbox on more of your legendary trinkets on November 9th. Once the build is live tomorrow, Aurora, Vision, and Coalescence will each have a new checkbox when equipped. From the player perspective, these checkboxes will add or remove their contribution to the stack that determines which effect will be displayed on your character, or none at all, if that is your thing. 152 131 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrGarlic.1834 Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 This is fantastic news. Thank you so much to the engineer who came up with this solution. I've been holding off making these trinkets because of this issue, even though I have the Vision and Aurora precursors, but now I can finally make them 🙂 Thank you. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zealex.9410 Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 (edited) Major thanks, your engineers are actual chads, now to ask for a bit more design debt, could we have an options menu toggle to hide other ppl's trinkets?

The Last Hobbit.6492 Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Well done! Highly appreciate the extra effort put in to get this problem solved. Any chance for additional juicy details on the new approach that was discovered, how it was implemented and any challenges you had to overcome? I love the deep dives. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lan Deathrider.5910 Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 I cannot wait for the patch! I'm not really one for all the glow effects, outside of some subtly effects on my weapons, and I cannot wait to get rid of Aurora and Vision's effects. May they forever be banished along with Cornflakes' blue ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike.7983 Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Don't suppose we can get a preview at what the seasonal return amulet looks like cosmetic wise? Working hard for something we have no idea about. Also any update on gen 3 weps yet? be nice to see ingame render or any special fx on them not including the very short greatsword on 1 clip. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
