If yes, any advices on a good mod? by this you mean "mods" as in post-processing/layers/rendering (reshade,dxvk,vkbasalt,d912proxy,etc.)??? or graphics mods such as replacing assets/arts (making armour higher poly/higher res/texture packs/etc.)?? if it's the former, yes they are allowed afaik -- if it's the latter i think it crosses the line on Anet's terms of service about modifying the client and im not aware of any mods/modpacks that are in circulation (if they exist at all).

There's some on youtube that directly influence assets on the client side like this: But it's only on the client side so idk how Anet seees those. It looks pretty harmless (and creepy on the video lol). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEOCROM.8957 Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share Posted February 23, 2021 Yes, i meant the mods like reshading, layers, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks pretty harmless (and creepy on the video lol). i wouldn't do it still... i mean i don't mind it if there's a mod out there that changes assets but it's a risky thing to do since it's covered in here: https://www.guildwars2.com/en/legal/guild-wars-2-user-agreement/ ---- section 2.f like yeah, mod the game if you wish but just dont go around bragging that you did or even stream/post online about since that's a sure way to get a warning or even get banned if ArenaNet ever sees it and then traces it to your account which they usually do if it's on youtube or any other popular social media Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks pretty harmless (and creepy on the video lol). Looks funny and harmless, but in a game with PvP that is a bannable offense as it can easily give an advantage. Not that we need glowing skins since everyone already look like walking glowsticks but you get the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was just an example that its possible to do. Overlays and shader injections should be fine though as those don't directly change a game but rather work differently. > @"Dawdler.8521" said: > > @"Veprovina.4876" said: > > But it's only on the client side so idk how Anet seees those.

Even if its just some more or less harmless asset flips. I mean, for anyone else, that player in the video looks normal, with a normal skimmer I presume. But you never know how else can that affect others etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
