Hi there.

Can anyone tell me if it's benificial to have this ticked.

I've noticed it gives the characters a sort of glow.

I've tried to search for this, but unfortunately it wasn't working.

Thanks.

It adds a Bloom effect.

As stated, it adds a Bloom effect to characters - at the expense of fps.

I personally dislike Bloom in GW as it makes looking at chars and such in "light" area's too eye straining :P

BTW.. that "glow" you saw is what's called a Bloom effect. It increases lighting effect's around an "object" like how you saw when you enabled it.

Does anyone know if this effect is using plain Bloom or is it using HDR at all?

It's just bloom.

Aah, that's the reason in Snowy lands why it was too bright.

I think I'll stick it off.

Thanks all!
