BlueJin.4127 Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 (edited) We have several trinkets that have visual effects, but unlike back items, we still cannot hide visual effects for other trinkets. Especially with the armory coming up, Anet should finally add the ability to hide visual effects for all trinkets. Pretty purple bubbles flowing around on a dark and beastly character looks ridiculous. Edited May 5, 2021 by BlueJin.4127 25 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antycypator.9874 Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Bring Standard Models from WvW to PvE. It would save some FPS and at least other characters look nicer (not like gray models). 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since i like the legendary armory and currently building those trinkets, i would like to use the armory for every char. The problem would be that every char has a different design but all of them would've the trinket visiuals. That is really annoying since it doesnt fit to a lot of those designs. Therefore, pls make trinket visuals hideable!!!! Would be very nice! Greetings Cypher 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joote.4081 Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 (edited) I tried to turn off my GW2 blimp trinket without luck. But then I pulled the upgrade out of it with a extractor and threw the upgrade in the bin. The silly effects went away.. At least I can now use the necklace without all of that flashy stuff around it. A-Net really have a thing for flashy stuff don't they?

Lottie.5370 Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I'd like if they'd make Slumbering versions of all of the trinkets (like they did to the WvW/PvP legendary trinkets), so we could have a choice which ones we want to hide. I really love the utility of legendary gear and would love to add Vision and Coalescence to my collection but I hate the effect of having 2 or 3 of them. Definitely think people should be able to disable the effects for other players on their screen too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I agree, it would be really helpful to be able to hide the effect, either through a slumbering version or a checkbox. It's put me off making legendary trinkets, because I don't like the effects and don't want to be stuck with them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asum.4960 Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 (edited) I feel like that will be almost mandatory as option once the Armory is released and those Trinkets will be shared on all characters. Having these same effects present on all characters regardless of theme, or having to theme all characters accordingly (or alt. not using the Trinkets/Armory) would be exceedingly dull. As more and more players strive for that convenience after the armory, seeing those floaty balls everywhere will truly be the final nail in the coffin of visual clarity and integrity for the game. Adding a checkbox to hide the effects like it's the case for helmets, backpieces, gloves, etc., can't be that outlandish. Similarly, there already are options to disable the Unique Item sounds of other players, such as Legendary projectile effects. I don't see a reason to not extend that to visuals, including Trinkets, for others as well. Edited May 5, 2021 by Asum.4960 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trigarta.3841 Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I fully support that proposal. Please give us an option to turn the effects of the trinkets off! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skynet.7201 Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 That's literally the only thing stopping me from making any of the leggie trinkets. No dye channels, no toggle off, just nope. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infusion.7149 Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Feeling deja vu here, this probably has been reiterated many times by now. If there isn't a way to make the effect hidden I want a legendary WVW accessory in the slot of Vision/Aurora that has no effect. Slumbering ____.

Joote.4081 Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 (edited) A lot of the fights especially boss fights I have to literally turn my head away from the monitor to avoid getting blinded. Not that it would be of any use if I could look at the monitor as I can't see the boss and I can't see my character. Just a bright flashing white screen. It's really bad. Same with the Guardians shield effect and that white light ghost drop on you. No wonder I have blood shot eyes these days.

Turning off post processing would also limit the amount of bloom effects. Edited May 5, 2021 by Infusion.7149 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turning off post processing would also limit the amount of bloom effects. Never could work out that LOD effects setting. It says in the tooltip, ' disables effects' So do you tick it or untick it? First reaction is to un-tick it, but going by the tooltip this turns the effects on. Confusion says... I have spent time with the video setting and to be honest most of them don't seem to do anything or at best they don't work. Maybe they don't work with modern hardware who knows? I can go from one extreme to the other and the difference is barely noticeable I mean the game engine was invented just before the wheel. so no surprises there. Good engine but old engine.

BlueJin.4127 Posted May 7, 2021 Author Share Posted May 7, 2021 (edited) I just learned that when you get 3 PVE legendary trinkets, there’s a painful flashing light that plays every time you draw your weapons... Sigh... Yet another flashing light that I can’t look at that can’ be turned off... Seriously, are you freaking kidding me with these flashing lights, Anet?

Joote.4081 Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Don't the dev's get it? If they blind us all, we can't play the game, resulting in them all becoming unemployed. It's in their interest to turn the lights off. I know they have a kitten on for flashing blinding lights but they must learn to control their fetish. 4 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagbard.7192 Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Without disable the effects on your own and on the other charactes the future of GW2 looks like this. GW2 - Human/Mesmer - Transcendence - Conflux - Coalescence - Vision - Aurora (YouTube Video) When Anet forces us to use the effects of the legendary trinket and the one's from the legendary armor (PvE) each character looks like the same and the view and feeling of GW2 will be boring. Another point is that Anet can't sell skins in the Gem-Shop because they can't be used on the armors which are in the "Legendary Armory". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeftheWicked.3076 Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Truer words were never spoken. I would be making them, ergo spending more time playing the game, if it wasn't for my odd taste that just does not see eye to eye with concept of pink planetarium rolling around my tribal themed necromancer.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
