109682-effect-suppression-in-wildstar

== Content ==
			
So.  I have previously quoted Dev posts to get their attention, as well as posted it in several other areas with absolutely no response.  This will be my last request for some kind of answer.  The following line was added on the 8/7 patch notes:
 
Effect Suppression in the video options will now work correctly. 
I am simply looking for an answer as to where CRB is saying that this option is.  There is nothing there, and the slash command hasn't worked since like the first or 2nd drop.  I am not one for making rage/whine posts, but when I have to ask like 5-6 times and literally receive 0 response from anyone, it is getting kind of dumb.  20 man raids with 20 people particle spell effects going off cover telegraphs.  I just want to limit amount of spell effects on the screen, scale them down, remove them, any of the above!  All I want is a simple answer, for a simple question.

			The slash command does work, I have everything completely suppressed. The sliders is in the video options (I think) but you can't scroll all the way down to it lol. There's also some random options down there that appears to be a VFX thing as well.

 Yes I know about the hidden option(s) that we can't get to but it still has yet to be acknowledged by CRB (to my knowledge).
 
The slash command has not worked since drop 1 or 2.  It does literally nothing when I use it.
 
 
 
Yeah, the only thing that sucks is that this was actually in THEIR patch notes.  Yet it isn't in game, and out of the 3 Devs I have quoted, none of them have answered back.

If you say so. I entered it and had my spells suppressed and this was after drop 2. A few guildies did it as well and spell effects were suppressed for them as well.
 
Edit: /eval Apollo.SetConsoleVariable("spell.visualSuppression", 1.0) is what we've all entered and has worked so idk my friend.

In his defense, this isn't an easy command to remember and you don't see it on the forums much. I remember the thread that a dev chimed in on this about, and it wasn't a particularly active one. The more this gets broadcasted out, the better.

Yeah, I have it bookmarked where I last found it.  I guess I will try it when I get home from work, but as of 2 weeks ago I tried that exact command (additionally, I have tried 1.0, 0.8, 0.5 to try diff suppression rates and nothing changed).
 
Outside of that command though, patch notes stated it was an option in game on the Video options, which it is not.  I assume it is among the other hidden settings in the options, which I would like a Dev to at least acknowledge as a bug/issue since day 1.

I think the reason they revealed it as a slash command is that it's a workaround for the players that absolutely need the feature, even though they haven't fixed it to the point that it's fully functional for all and in the official settings where it belongs. I might have interpreted it wrong, but I imagine you could PM someone thru the forums or ask on twitter for clarification if you need it.

I suppose.  It is just really disheartening knowing that the Devs I quoted had saw the question be asked (since i had quoted them), and simply chose not to respond on the several different occasions.  I understand they can't get to all questions, and some they may not know the answer to.  But this should be a fairly simply question, with a fairly simple answer that 1 of them could have taken 30 seconds to explain so that the entire community isn't in the dark on it.  It isn't a big deal with soloing or even 5 man groups so much.  But in raids and high volume PvP it simply blocks telegraphs to the point you can't even see them on the ground.  In my opinion that is sort of an issue, and I feel would help performance quite a bit for some people (my PC has no troubles handling it btw, but it is a clutterfest).
 
I shouldn't need to go to twitter to get a response on something they could have easily answered on their official forums i guess is my point.  And a PM is just as good as quoting them since they get a notification either way.  Out in the open, more people get the real/full answer straight from a devs mouth rather than speculation anyways.

As often as devs are quoted, I doubt they get a notification by default anytime they are, otherwise they'd have nothing BUT notifications to look at all day. 
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
To be fair, the only reason devs got quoted a lot was due to comments being allowed on patch notes.  Outside of that, they don't post enough to be quoted.  So this statement is something I disagree with :/
----
			I'd like to know the answer to this. What's the point of making something work that isn't even accessible in the menus?! That's pointless exercise in bug fixes.

Try blowing them up on Twitter. I have. While nothing gets done about it, they tend to respond. Well at least one of them does. If you include one of the "Favored" guilds in your tweet, someone will take notice.

My poor brain can't process all the whiz bang flash at times. I found this add on:  TB-Graphics, a Curse add-on.
