Just like we announced, a new feature was added to improve game performance during mass-PvP. Now when you switch effects quality in settings it will also affect characters you will see effects for.

• Off — almost all effects are off, auras and walls off.
• Low — effects for your character and attacking character will be visible. Walls and auras are on.
• Medium — effects available for own character, attacker, pet and party members.
• High — all effects are on.
