How did you think there A-net? really, I’m curious. Do you even play wvw? I mean does ANYONE in the A-net dev team actually play wvw?
We can’t see spell effects, can’t see our own characters. Keep running in to invisible sanctuary bubbles that don’t render.
You’ve constantly dropped the ball over and over before but this is beyond that. It’s more like you dropped a ball, made out of cast iron, the size of Texas on a children’s hospital made out of papier mache.
You’ve completely ruined wvw.
Congratulations!

Btw, I expect this post to be deleted and myself to receive a ban or at the very least an infraction or two since that’s how the A-net forum gestapo officers suppress any opinions voiced that are in any way negative towards anything about the game. Even when reporting bugs or hacks you are told that "don’t post this on the forums because we like to pretend that nothing’s wrong with the game because ignoring the problems and quieting people down actually makes the problems go away.

If you have an issue with this new quality of life improvement you are not required to use it. Go ahead and turn off ‘Effect LOD’ in the graphics settings.
