Caro.2730 Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 (edited) Hello Anet! Now that the new visual effect filtering tool is done, can we get back the original, bigger effects of some skills and spells please? Like NIMBUS cloud above tempest in AIR OVERLOAD, bigger fire tornado on fire or the original, proper ring of fire animation etc? It would mean alot to me, cause I am all about effects and feeling powerful! My suggestion would be to just add an option with "Improve your own effects!" Pretty please!

Liewec.2896 Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 (edited) i do miss the big fireballs! its mad that these changes weren't made optional. if we have ultra PCs we shouldn't have to suffer visual downgrades to drag along the people trying to game on 2010 PCs.

Khisanth.2948 Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 The recent change doesn't make much difference for that. The Effect LOD setting has been around for ages. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Large part of that coming from the overly bright on hit flashing. I've been playing since beta and I don't remember the game ever being that bad. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on mobile, so apologies if this isn't the one I was referring to, but I believe WP's Tempest in some of his HoT videos showcase things like extra effects on Overloads. eg: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YXGS95LOf8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilty.4906 Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Wow, you read my mind! I miss the old effects! I remember when they nerfed and it was so sad, but now they could bring them back with effect filtering. I must say that Elementalists suffered the most, I remember that fire skills took a big hit on their fire particles because of that. And I even feel that Catalysts' skills didn't get cool particle effects because of that. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O_o) played the game just fine, we all didn't need to suffer a graphical downgrade for the potato people. 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caro.2730 Posted June 16, 2023 Author Share Posted June 16, 2023 (edited) Elementalist Overloads were a bit bigger and had more details in them, like Air Overload had a cloud hovering above your head. It was so epic! My heart broke when they toned that down. There really should be an option for those who want them back, to allow it with the new settings, especially that I am sure they have these animations stored, so it's not like it would be an extra work. Same with some mesmer and necromancer spells, or even guardians! Edited June 16, 2023 by Caro.2730 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batalix.2873 Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 I am all for this. Tempest Overloads feel sort of tame with their current effects. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamyAbaddon.3265 Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 (edited) Omg yes! I would love the old visual effects to return! Just let it come back! Here is video of me playing on all 9 classes with the old visual effects before the nerf: Edited June 23, 2023 by DreamyAbaddon.3265 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doggie.3184 Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 (edited) Pfft, they still haven't even fixed Ele Scepter Shatterstone Water 2's sound effect tempo that was desync'd centuries ago, I doubt they'd go back and undo effect nerfs.

Holo.2836 Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 I can't even remember what the spells used to look like, but I'm all up for more spell effects. They just make you feel so powerful. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axelteas.7192 Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 so Anet nerfed the beautiful attack special effects to avoid lag in potato pcs, but introduced the stupid vermillion skins, shiny backpacks, wings and mounts that look like a christmas tree? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashen.2907 Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Were the graphics changes implemented to reduce lag on low end PCs or were they intended to improve in combat visibility? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
