Visual bugs since update the other day+
majoho
I can't see that I should have turned anything off but who knows.
Here are the problems that I see
1. I don't get the level "up/skill point gained" sound/animation anymore.
2. Don't get the "quest completed" sound/animation anymore. (I can hear the sound for others though!!!)
3. The "DP/Morale" thing in the Effects Monitor acts as if it's added (plays the animation) each time a condition/enhancement is added and when xp is gained.
All my graphics settings are on max as they always have been.

Hmm...My settings arent even max and stuff has been fine for me, I was even running the "Securing Echovald Forest" quest yesterday, so I had a few oportunities to see the skill point gained sign.
Cant say about the DP sound though.

The level/up skill point gained animation still plays with me.
But what I've noticed is that the sound when you call a target is gone, anyone else noticed this?

Things have been fine for me. However, a couple of times when using Sprint, the red trail of energy didn't appear.

Enchancements are not showing up on the char. Depending on the enchant there is usually a ring around the char that has an enchant.
Also my client crashed a few time today. I just got done updating my video drivers so i am going to see if that worked.
*edit* updating my driver fixed the enchant problem.

I havnt noticed any of those visual bugs but i have noticed this one:
Long rectangle shadows appear but theres nothing of that shape to make it. I also noticed the minos shadow shape change during the part of the attack animation where they lean forward and hit you. I havnt noticed this on any other creatures yet. Its possible this bug has been there for ages though and i just never knew.. I only recently got a computer capable of running the game at max settings with a good FPS(40-60).

I notice my ignore list isn't working properly because someone on it is messaging me now. Anyone else get this? I posted this in the Technician's Corner forum.
Also, often when I use a running skill or spirit with my ranger, I don't see the magical effects around my character. Sometimes, but often they aren't displayed.

Here are some bugs I've been experiencing:
When moving, skill animations often don't show. Sometimes happens when standing still as well.
Various sound effects are non-existent. Most notably some skill "charging" sounds, while the skill is casting, as well as some enemy pop-up sounds. I died because of a Dying Nightmare in UW (as a monk while duo-ing) because I didn't hear it pop up.
Various attack sound effects, as well as the walking sound sometimes, are no longer there.
Oh, and I've also been experiencing the DP/Morale thing, but here's what happens for me. Whenever I gain experience (haven't tested if I gain 0 exp from an enemy), the Morale effect performs the "apply" animation, where it grows and shrinks quickly. This is probably related to the DP effect being reapplied when it is lessened due to experience gain.

edit: oh and wen i cast a spell for the first time in a mission/explorable it doesnt show the animation but it does show the second time i cast it.
cosyfiep
yep, got all that....no sounds, no exclamation points, no auras, but I do get the dp/morale thingy every time something dies....even when I have a +2...and we kill a non-boss, it increases like its doing something, and its not. I dont get the skill point thing---only the green words : 'you gained a skill point' like it no longer matters......
the 255 has been going on for sometime now....over a month. so that was not this update.
makes it harder to play when you dont hear whats going on.

The Hand Of Death
-No level raise sound or visual
-No distortion, dodge, putrid explosion sound or visual
-No empathy sound
Just a couple of thing I remember

I guess we can assume some of these are general problems then, none of them are game breaking but they should be fixed.
tommarrow
The one thing I notice is when I cast a AoE spell there is a delay of 1 or 2 seconds before it appears. Like when casting meteor shower I will see the damage numbers appear above the monsters but I do not see the animation of the meteors appear right away. I have not noticed anything else but I was not paying attention before.
majoho
I'm in touch with support about this now, I will post if some solution is found.
So far I have been told to turn down sound quality and (obviously) that didn't help at all.

simple minded
this isnt a bug...but i noticed they changed the sound of you opening a chest
Kyle
just what i noticed from the little i have played since then. Is my ele's meteor shower isnt much of a shower anymore. All i see is the dust coming off of the ground where the meteors are hitting. I dont see the metors or the big smoke trails comming down. Just the dust kicked up on the ground.
DarkEye
call targets sound is there
ParanoidDenny
Basically ANET have botched up the update again!
Aki Soyokaze
I've noticed that some of the animations for skills have lagged behind when they're cast and when they start to take effect. Such as when met. shower and firestorm are cast it takes a few seconds for the animation to start but the enemies are already taking dmg. And when the enemies stop taking dmg. the animation still keeps going for a few seconds. I know that the timing of the animation, the damage, and the cast weren't always perfectly timed up. But it seems as if they're off more now that this new update was added.
Plus I'm also getting no green arrows as well as many strange sound effects that've annoyed me to the point where I don't even bother to play the game with any sound anymore.

Hand of Ruin
On certain terrains shadows are not being rendered properly and appear very broken and scattered...
exiled mat
the visual bugs i recall on short terms are:
(note that i play with everything on the highest settings)
-No lvl up animation
-A sort of superfog in the UW (way to foggy)
-My ele has become very tired, she has those dark spots under her eyes
(i will post a picture later
)
-My ele walks much more backwards than normal
(if i click on something)

The Silver Star
A bug a guildy of mine always complains of is that his 15k luxon female necromancer armor has no shadow and looks different in HoH, its quite funny, also when you do /rank there is no animation aswell. I sometimes get graphics bugs when i go outside Droknars or enter Ascalon and a few more areas.
majoho
I've come to the conclusion that PlayNC support are utter useless when it's about actual tech supports.
All I get is silly suggestions that doesn't change anything, sigh.

I've worked as tech support myself for many years so I know how it is, but they it seems as if they aren't actually reading what I'm writing to them and they just give me cut and paste solutions.

I'm also experience sound lag and sometimes it's as if I have turned my volume down momentarily and then it fades back in.
Plushie Penguin
Sometimes the earth spell symbol doesn't show when I'm casting churning earth

Exiled Mat, as regards your Eles face, I think if you read what updates they done.
You will find they have updated face graphics, maybe thats the reason for the tired looking eyes.
Which reminds me better check mine out too.
