Very happy about this change, just noticed it in the graphic option settings. Not sure if consoles will get it (back), but you never know.

    Yay!

    Edit: now if we only could also get toggles for that transparent shield while blocking and heavy attacks sending pets into battle...

    No pics necessary, it's right there in the graphics settings--very bottom option, under bloom and all the rest.

    He's saying, I believe, you can make it so you don't see all the special magical spell effects from other players. In things like Trials, PvP, or even just laggier dungeons this reduces the stress on the server and what your computer has to handle quite a bit

    It does not affect performance much at all. the game servers and your computer are still crunching the numbers for the effects, just not displaying them on screen. It may lighten the load on your computer a bit in the graphics department but mainly is to lessen the on-screen effects so you see enemy ones and they aren't hidden by friendly effects.

    I saw little to no difference in performance before/ after they arbitrarily disabled it, yeah. Maybe a frame or two? But I'm probably imagining it.

    Its weird, ever since they removed the effects, it makes it harder to see the bosses, dead allies, etc.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    I agree, and think part of the problems many are having with synergies is related to this change.
