Erm... My computer decided to randomly stop displaying certain particle effects...

What it DOES show:
- Effects from players DURING casting
- Effects from NPCs DURING casting
- Post-cast effects (like the purdy blue bubbles that surround you with Heal spells) on ME

What it doesn't show:
- Post-cast effects on players (excluding me)
- Post-cast effects on NPCs

I have no idea what I did. Help.

Nothing amazing happens here.
Only the ordinary.

Check your chat filters.

I'll do that when I get home...

Chat filters have an impact on particle effects? Hmm.... Weird.

I get this as well. Bard songs wont show up on anyone except me, and I'll get the MESSAGE of "soandso is filled by a lupine aura", but I dont get the particle effects.

Petitioned about it a bit ago, and they said it was a known issue.. Maybe they fixed it? cycle all your spell/chat/server filter settings. That might work.

What you think verant would be smart enough to send a few bits out to signal that a player got hit by a spell, instead of just letting the client parce the text messages and apply effects as needed?

That's basically how it works already :P

Also check your particle density and the option to turn it off completely /showspelleffcts(?).

If it's on Low, it'll only show effects during casting, if I remember right.
