magic effect transparency? - Guild Wars Forums

DrSLUGFly · May 27, 2005, 08:33 AM // 08:33

When in a safe position I really like to play in first person mode. But the symbols, magic blasts, etc. always block my view. Is there a way to set their transparency level?

what do you mean by "symbols" like skills bars and stuff?

no like, when you cast something, a symbol appears above your head, after casting you see the projectile going forward. When you get hit by magic you see the projectile hit you (like a "magic explosion"). I'd like to be able to dim these so that they don't block my view of the action. Also, even when not in 1st person I'd like them dimmed so they don't block my view of the creep as they connect (I like to be able to see them).

I haven't seen any option on where to turn the gamma down on effects. I don't think you can.

s'too bad...

It's awesome that you can go into first person mode. It adds so much realism to the environment. It makes fighting difficult, but as I said if you're in a safe location then it also adds to the fighting, except that 1/4 to 1/2 your screen is usually covered in magic splash effects.
