Please remove smoke/blurring from the diadem heat waves weather!

The diadem heat waves weather causes certain objects on screen to blur out as the result of "heat"/"smoke".

While the effect makes a lot of sense in the context of the diadem, the effect itself causes eyestrain and induces fatigue and dizziness in not just myself but a lot of other players.

As a matter of accessibility, I hope that it could be made optional.

I'm not really sure why they made heat waves the default weather there unless it's supposed to be suggesting that something unusual is going on.

Honestly it'd be nice if there was a weather toggle in general in much the same way we can toggle on and off the spell effects and flashing animations of our abilities. More accessibility is never a bad thing.

And I was wondering why going to the diadem brought on a bout of migraine yesterday when the content is not exactly stressful. Yeah, it's the blur.

This dont bothered me.
But, first time I guessed it was spawn from miner or botanist. But, I see it's normal heat weather.

I just want it gone so that the California wildfire jokes can stop. Sure, it was funny the first three or five times. Now it's like, there's one every 15mins like it was sooooo original /eyeroll

It is really bothering me and hurting my eyes.

Node weather: Nice and dark.
Everybody when it switches to Heatwave: "MY EYES! IT'S TOO BRIGHT!"

That's not a joke either, that's literally what you see in Shout chat the second it goes from one of the other weathers to Heatwave.

I find it annoying, wouldn't be bad if toned down. I dunno why its the default weather thou. That just makes it even worse.

The waves should be able to be turned off just like the underwater ones can. I had to turn those off right from the start because they made me feel disoriented.
