Sad, but have to stop this game I guess, can't play Paladin because his action is too flashy, and can't do some contents because of the same reason, this is weird.

Thanks for the answer, I cross my fingers for all other people and until we get an update about this...

Back up this goes

Bump to the top.

Still needs addressing SE

I recently came back about 3 weeks ago and ended up getting major eyestrain while running around. There was this lattice type effect on the foliage (sorry, don't know how to really describe it) when I was in motion that caused me major issues. I had to crank down the brightness and sharpness on my TV after a few days when it finally caused a migraine. The reduction in sharpness definitely alleviated my problems and haven't had another migraine from the game since, but it is obviously an issue affecting a large number of players and should be addressed.

Goin' up .... Again

How's it going eye strain thread?

With Fanfest coming up I've been trying to gather player issues and experiences with this offsite in hopes of getting it addressed. I've gathered as many forum threads on it as I can, though if you've got links elsewhere I'd be happy to have those too. I've got a carrd for it over at straintrail.carrd.co if you want to fill it out.

In the meantime, this thread can have another bump.

Am always up for helping people with these issues. Really hope devs listen but it's very meager so far. They can't even fix basic face updates for Hyur 1 (still has damn bags) less they fix eye strain.

I wish they'd make it a priority to do something about that effin RDM limit break animation.

I haven't had major issues up until I started playing through the lvl 90 alliance raids. Both in the cutscenes and the raid itself the lighting is AWFUL and headache inducing when player characters are shown. Character lighting is set to 100 and gamma is set to 0. I've tried to take some screenshots showing the issue. Unfortunately I don't have a comparison from before the update so I can't be sure if it was the cause or not. If anyone else could give some input it would be really appreciated.
