Aurene weapons too flashy

[lezbefriends.7516]

flashiness is great, but the new legendary effects are too much... they overshadow the character. This is problem of post-PoF GW2, where fashion is gone and now ur decorating chairs and mounts. The siege turtle is so big it hides the player character... pls bring back fashiun wars, not cosmetic wars. TY ❤️

At least from the greatsword preview, the Zhaitan-coloured variants seem to have less (or at least less flashy) particle effects.

I hope they will actually turn out that way. But I agree that the other variants are too shiny.

Arenanet should consider adding a seizure warning to the game.

Just an FYI: There's already a seizure warning for the game.  https://us.ncsoft.com/en-us/legal/ncsoft/user-agreement

Cool thing is that there are plenty of other non-flashy items to choose from.

Yet other games have it every time the game starts, as a constant reminder.

That's significantly different than an easily forgettable EULA that many people don't even read.

In my opinion, as a person with very frequent seizures triggered by strobing lights, the game does not need a seizure warning in comparison to other MMORPGS 

 

to clarify my perspective: I find GW2 to be less of a problem than TV or shows in theaters for example. It’s really very considerate of my concerns. 

EVERY game needs a seizure warning... just because you "only" get a few seizures per year, doesn't mean there shouldn't b warning.

I have about one seizure a week and sometimes multiple a day. GW2 rarely triggers one. Maybe 2-3 times this year and less than 10 times (5 times?) ever in my 6 years of playing. 
 

I have PNES seizures rather than epilepsy for someone trying to debug this, with many physical triggers and some less physical triggers including strobing lights, cold, sleep deprivation, exercise, as well as stress. They are not a medication reaction (nor lack of medication). I’m treated by meds that are also used for seizures, though they have dual uses for other issues I have (including for migraines, anxiety, and allergies). They obviously don’t work well anymore, though they did between 2011 and 2015. My first three months of seizures was worse than now. I’m told that unlike epilepsy, I’m safe and the seizures don’t do damage  

The glow is great! It doesn’t need fixing for my benefit. Strobing lights are not wonderful but I’m fine. I’ll avoid them.

Edit: FInal Fantasy 14 and The Elder Scrolls Online cause seizures literally every time I play. I wasted a whole summer trying to make them work, and it was miserable. I had fun until level 59 with FF14 but after that it’s unplayable. TESO is unplayable from the start. 
 

Edit: I get about 1-2 hours out of some tv shows and very few movies. I can’t binge watch. some plays are okay but some have strobes or swinging spotlights. Same with concerts 

 

Edit: exercise triggers seizures. More than about 15 min on the treadmill. 
 

cold weather triggers seizures. If I start to feel really chilly, even indoors. 
 

stress triggers seizures. For that reason I work part time with flexible hours. I also don’t play WvW more than a few minutes at a time 
 

I have psychogenic non epileptic seizures so the pattern may not be identical to epilepsy. But don’t downgrade the graphics for me!!!!! Please!!!

again, just bc u get fewer seizures, doesn't mean there shouldn't be a seizure warning...

[WaveIn.4091]

It already has one, and that doesn’t concern me because it is not a problem for me. In the context where the original concern was brought up, I believe someone was claiming that gamma or glow worsens seizures. I do not believe so. I believe it is specifically rhythmic, strobing or flickering lights. I don’t think there’s any need to eliminate gamma, glow, or contrast on behalf of people who have seizures. Make your argument on some other basis please.

This thread is about graphics. It has a seizure warning. That’s a fact. In my opinion I’d recommend GW2 to someone with seizures over other MMORPGS and probably over rock concerts and some TV or movies as well. That was my whole point. Perhaps I phrased it badly. In a world where people do choose to have entertainment and lead an interesting life rather than sitting in isolation and doing nothing, I think GW2 is a RELATIVELY safe choice. I take no serious issue with the status quo where it has a seizure warning. But I don’t think it needs a stronger warning either. And I don’t think the graphics are by and large a danger. MKe your anti glow arguments on some other basis.

Then don't use them 🤷‍♂️

Hey I just took a second look. That sheathing and unsheathing flash is brighter and more sudden than I remembered. It’s absolutely stunning, but I can see why you’d say it might cause seizures. I’m sorry. I don’t know how it will effect me or others. Or those with migraines. It’s bright (and beautiful). Ideally sheathing and unsheathing shouldn’t occur over and over again in a pattern but should only be one flash at a time. That’s not too bad for me but I’m not sure about other people.
