Not sure if anyone has noticed this or not, but I did and now I can't stop looking at it
On either side of my char's head I seem to see floating orbs or reflections. Barely noticeable but they move with the bounce of the char and stay as you move the Camera.
Tried it on a couple different PC's and graphics cards and it's all the same.
Not a biggie just a little annoying.
Same thing. Seems to not be there when I first log in, but after a while the artifacts appear, and won't go away unless a log out. Want. Fix.

Can't seem to get a good screen shot. The orbs are semi transparent and not very noticible if you are standing still, but you can see them very clear when moving.
I have tried taking a screenshot of the orbs. They did not show up in the SS. Could be because the lighting was just wrong in the picture. Might be because its actually a lighting effect problem. Also, since I am having the same problem...
