Dawntrail Graphics Update - Eye Strain

[MayMelon]

If that's true, that's really good news!

But the player and enemies's effects are still too flashy and bright. I've even had to set my own effects to Limited, which makes playing any magic classes really sad. I had no problems whatsoever with most of the effects in the game pre-DT, but the graphical update somehow messed things up.

Yes, There's a possibility that the light effect of combat skills has become excessive as the glossy texture has been strengthened since the DT..
I feel it all the time, but the glare effect of this game is so stimulating.
Certain users will find it really hard to play...

I have noticed a few changes for effects when playing WHM. I have all my effects turned off for everyone and myself on my main and the alts I have taken through DT, because everything was blinding. It's annoying because I couldn't see when people placed stuff like Doton, but I leveled WHM on the alts I got through and it was just possible for me to play with the blinding boss abilities and myself.

But I went to play another alt and she still had partial effects on and it seems like Asyllum, and Temperance are less blinding. I turned full effects on for myself and Holy/Holy III are not as bad either, but I am keeping partial on for now cause it's still causes strain. I could not see through asylum in 7.0. It was awful, I can see through it now.

I have a friend that gets violently ill when walking around the overworld, so it's nice to hear that more has been adjusted. My friend quit subbing because of how bad stuff is, but she has a trial account as well... I'm nervous to ask her to try it out because it was so bad she had a headache in minutes and if she tried to power through it she ended up vomiting. No game is worth that and I think I'd like to see them make some bigger changes before I suggest she try again.

First boss of the 7.1 dungeon left me with massive eye strain and an instant headache because there were so many flashy effects going on. If my friend hadn't been playing the Warrior tank of the party, that run would have not been completed, I think. Luckily, we were able to finish after several wipes. It was really awful, and now I'm kinda afraid to run anything else in the patch knowing that enemy effects are just this bad and there's nothing I can do about them.

Second page? Not on my watch.

As some people wrote earlier, the patch 7.1 dungeon's first boss has lots of strobing purple effects that are really bad for the eyes.

I'm sick of this grass blur/sharp flicker? They 'upgraded' old areas and now the trees and anything grassy? flickers when I move/stop. I can't be anywhere grassy without getting a headache when I'm running around and taking a vid of it only to have it butchered by compression is genuinely driving me up a wall.

I tried turning grass quality to off but it happens with bushes and trees too...

I tried it with FSR 100, FSR 50-60-70-80-90-99, anti-aliasing with all options, DLSS and it still happens....

Game still has the awful blur filter on it. I would rather go back to the old graphics if it meant everything wasn't a mess.
