Red Light Effect

[cairlaith]

Hello everyone !
I'm not sure if I'm in the right place to ask this.

Problem
I know that many addons cause lag and stutter problems after the new patch, and I use nothing other than my personalized minimal Enemy addons.

Red Light effect was an old feature, I don't know and I'm not curios why you brought it back.

Feedback
Whenever a mass with this Red Light effect forms during a Fight, it causes incredible stutter. The game becomes almost unplayable.

On the other hand, since everything looks red, it becomes very difficult for us (especially for Healers) to determine other friendly (nearby, other than warband) players who needs help...

Exaggeration and Dramatization

It's like we're drowning in a flood of red and there's nothing other than red

Reason
An indicator in the game that does not concern me at all makes the game unbearable for me (us?/them?/anyone?).

Suggestion
Please develop an option to turn off this feature. An indicator in the game that directly affects the game and that I don't need to know who has Challenge affect...

Thank you !

I dont got more lag but that indicator as a healer doesnt concern me much but it make the game ugly. Everyone is colourless, you could barely see any equipment, just one big mass of ugly red glow running around. If I could, i would disable it on the sec

I think exactly the same observation, except my BO no longer grows with skill and the glow is gone. Everything looks really low-end.

I agree! Please let us toggle this off or please remove the red effect. It actually makes it harder to see what is happening

I agree with all the above - its an eyesore - makes it hard distinguish friend from foe and and makes the whole fight scene a great red blob

It was annoying on test server and it's annoying now.
I much prefer "old school" triple exclamation marks !!!

The red effect is ugly and annoying q.q, no idea if it causes lag though.

Since the patch I'm having huge fps drops in medium+ sized fights. More numbers = 1 fps even though it was fine before the patch.
Not to mention insane server lag with flee not removing morale, flee not popping but removing morale, abilities going on cd but not actually applying, bw abilities not triggering ressource gain, ...

Disabling combat log/unticking all boxes in wsct and uninstalling it dont work.

If you read properly what I wrote , you wouldn't say that I wrote that the Red Glow effect causes lag. In my first comment of this post, I said that after the new patch, many "addons" cause lagg, but Red Glow Effect causes Stutter. On the other hand, thank you very much for what you are trying to help with, I am a software engineer myself, I can solve such a problem on my own, but I do not have a lag problem anyway.

Peace and Have Fun

I also would be very happy if that red glow was removed. Whether it is responsible for the stutters that I experience ever since the ability rework got implemented, I don't know, but just from an aesthetic perspective I'd like to see it gone. If removing it also helps with performance - even better.

On the Live version of the Game there was the Option to only Show YOUR OWN combat skill animations AND enemy Ground target animations. Game ran smooth even on the slowest machines.
