    The Dead Ends Flashbang.

    So, I have a question for you all.

    Can someone help me how to deal with that flashbang when you transition from the zone 2 to zone 3 in The Dead Ends ?

    I'm blind on one eye and the other eye is quite sensitive and each time I get to that part in the dungeon, I'm actually getting migraine.

    I tried to close my eyes or squint to mitigate it, adjusting the brightness does help, but then I don't see much in the second zone, and telling people to wait and give me some time to adjust just feels bad.

    At this point, any grateful for any tips

    Make a brief macro to explain the situation? Vast majority of people are decent, but no one will know unless you tell them

    Create a /follow macro to use with eyes shut and face turned away.

    When it comes to your health do not feel bad or shy to tell people what you need. This is a game and should be enjoyable for you. If some of the players do not understand or don't want to be considerate then that is on them. Majority will understand and be considerate I think.

    If you're on pc using gshade might help. I'm pretty sure that it can be turned on and off with a keybind. You could set g-shade to be very dark and just briefly pop it on in the moments you need it.

    Alternatively you could find a different type of third party software that has a similar function if you want to abstain from using something that directly affects the game because of the ToS. There are some whose intended function is to give ease of quick brightening and darkening to those who have visual issues.

    Yeah, the g-shade looks to be the best course of action, I legit forgot it exists. Thanks for reminding me.

    Definitely use shaders. A friend shared a shader with me for P3S and I can actually see the screen now.

    I give up with you people. Forum community is absolutely unhinged. Imagine joining my alt's FC just to wait for me to come online to harass me lmao.

    Turn camera away? Zoom in on character? There’s quite the build up to it as you run down the ramp as far as tells go.

    Don't know what can be done but count me in for asking devs to avoid using that kind of effect in content designed to be grinded over and over.

    The issue is with the massive spike in brightness, Zone 2 is really dark and then you teleport to zone 3 and the first thing you get is this extremely bright yellow field and white backdrop with a bright blue thing in the middle. I cant turn the camera first since I don't have control of the camera by that time.

    I'm legit getting a migraine from zone 3 in the beginning and the rest of the dungeon is just outright painful for me, thats why I asked for help. I already got G-Shade and set it up to be accessible on a button and tone down the brightness before I zone in there. Gonna test it later today.
