Lux.1308 Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 (edited) Jade in GW1 and GW2 looks much darker and more natural to the real sea. New showcased mined Jade looks very unnatural and not fitting in the world. We already have Jade in GW2 Solic Ocean Fractal and it looks much better than the one in The Jade Sea trailer.

Dantert.1803 Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 It looked waaay better in the fractal...they just botched the color big time.. I have nothing against making it translucent but all of that saturation is killing my eyes 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infusion.7149 Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 The difference in hue is probably because it's imbued with dragon magic or whatnot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will need to explain what that means, because that is definitely NOT how it was created. It was Abaddon's magic channeled through Shiro.

I suspect they mean it’s been absorbing Dragon Magic over the last few years as each Dragon is destroyed, resulting in more and more escaping - esp after Kralk, Jormag and Primordus went. The Jade is likely acting as a magical sponge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That first picture of the new jade is horrendous...... How on earth is this okay? Even if there is some stupid excuse about new dragon engery being infused, it shouldn't look like a high rez slime block from Minecraft. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So maybe it'll change the same in GW2, blueish hue during night time. Another reference video from WP (Starts approx 17:30) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucianDK.8615 Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 The new hue looks so much better. This a major improvement and should absolutely not be dulled at all! 2 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fueki.4753 Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 The colour is close to processed jade. I wonder what kind of technology the Canthans used to processed the jade before mining it. They definitely ought to fix that colour. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
