Geomancer makes me sick :(

I think the less graceful on/off solution won't show its full potential until they also finish up making all the buff icons unique as they said they would like to do. Since I imagine at that point one would simply have to look at the icon displayed to know that they are still within range. Granted even at that point I can still see the need for a simpler graphical representation.

[Logandor]

Sometimes the simplest of solutions work the best.

These would be nice to be done for those of us who do get quezzy from the aura effect. Mainly if we can do /geoaura off and these be the only remaining effects it would be nice.

I'm not sure why the current geo effect was ever approved. Some of them look cool, but for the most part they are really annoying to see in combat.

If the only options are on and off, can we at least get a log message when an indi aura wears off? Unlike buffing indis, where you can look for a status bar icon, debuff indis give no visual clue that the effect is active, other than the aura. With no log message either, we'll be stuck just watching the game clock for these.

I think they look fine. Obviously there is the health & safety issue presented in this thread, but ignoring that I think they look good.

Did someone say low-end PCs and lag? I've got the perfect solution:

Make your PC suck less

Seriously, it's 2013, what computer are you running on that isn't windows 7 with at least a custom GPU/Processor already?

No offense but I thought it may of been from me playing on windows xp so I spent a while uploading it onto windows 8 and guess what? Still can't play around with geo lol. So windows version is not the issue no offense intended.

Who said anything about operating system? of course it's not the OS- it's the hardware in your system....

What about a half sphere, essentially cutting off the animation at ankle or knee height. This would give you the circle effect on the ground regardless of terrain, and give off the vision that the effects are being drawn from the earth.

No ill explain with this reply why not:

I'm a little puzzled what it might be about the aura effects that would trigger epeleptic events, there's nothing particularly flashy or intense about the visual effect. Motion sickness makes more sense; the game doesn't have many other visual effects that are continuous.

Regardless, good on SE for putting in the opiton, since we can toggle most other visual effects as well. I haven't really had performance issues myself but I've seen quite a few people talking about it.

It has to do with the drastic color change. there is dence patches then all of a sudden you see no color.

cutting this off to be at knee level on a cheater might just make it worse because now you are starring at normal with the flash in flash out. It needs to be more "solid" and not moving. Like anti zone barrier in wow gave me no issues:

if you do first person or angle the camera to be more behind the character you see the sphere lie ffxi.. only it does not make you sick..

Sorry for the delay! Due to the special nature of geomancy spells’ effects, it took some time to check up on this.

We are currently working on making it so can toggle the effect of the Indi- geomancy spells ON/OFF. As long as there are no major issues, we are aiming to implement this feature during the version update, which is scheduled for the end of this month.

can they make the filter labels not be confusing while they are at this? (well actually that is more for chat filters)

[Embryon]

Could I ask for some clarification on where the new filter is located? I'm playing on PC and I do not see anything under Config > Effects that has to do with Indicolure spells.

Thanks in advance for any help with this.
