Which, yeah incorrect wording on my part if that's more of the case, but I am actually curious now if there's anything that outright hides itself - I have an alt that's making their way through DT and I may run a few of the dungeons when I get some free time to double check. But it is very likely more an issue of things going off in the background like equivalent of a naked man streaking across the field and drawing people's eyes away from the actually important thing going on - which is definitely still minimum-effort "difficulty modifier" nonsense.

I also have to run limited player effects at all times so I can see the Good Puddles™ since I'm usually running tank, which can occasionally obscure things - but I think most people are running like that.
DT is when I started to keep visual effects off. I used to only do it during large-scale content like Bozja, but now I can't even turn them on during 4-player content.

Every time they add a new ability or replace an old one, it has to be more visually impressive than previous ones and it has now reached a point where you can hardly see anything. Turn all that off and it becomes much easier to see what the boss is about to do.
