Dawntrail Graphics Update - Eye Strain

Still no fix still no page 3

And back to page 1.


I can barely do any current content without either getting a migraine or feeling dizzy. Old content without all the visual vomit is no issue but all of the new stuff is just pain. I either will have result to IL-cheese to make sure i don't get any 100 raids/trials or just insta leave and take the 30 minutes penalty because the content simply makes me sick. Got M1 today and also a few days ago, got yoinked on the 2nd platforms in both runs because my head was hurting like crazy at this point and I simply couldn't focus anymore. Any other content doesn't give me any trouble (not even old savages are an issue so it's not an issue with mechanics themself). The level 100 stuff is just bloated with visual vomit and way too bright. It's not even fun to play current content anymore, it's just literal pain.
At this point it's also getting harder and harder to even remotely justify the monthly sub...not to mention that I am mainly only subbed anymore because a) cozy medium house and b) to even be able to even post here on this forum.

Back up this goes

[TheMightyMollusk]

Took a couple months off. Came back for the patch. Ran the new normal raids. Already considering another break. Holy crap, I could just about stand the excess flashiness in the first four, but these cranked it up to painful levels.

Lets get this back off page 3 again

On the topic of eye strain, am I the only one who finds the new metallic dyes- added with Cosmic Exploration- really difficult to look at?

[Thalliah]

Me and my gf is unable to continue playing due to eye strain and migraines :/

The glare, bloom and blur settings that got changed or straight up removed have made us unable to enjoy our favourite game... hope it get fixed. We will try again in a few months for now we cant play and have unsubbed

Has there been any updates on this at all?

Nope. They're content to continue to ignore everything but the most extreme outliers.

Has there been any updates on this at all?

Outside of the changes to Recollection, no. Those went up without fanfare. Despite several topics on the forums (besides this one) requesting adjustments for similar issues, there's been no dev response. There's a chance they might sneak some lighting tweaks into the upcoming patch (something similar happened in one of the 7.1 patches), but that's something to find out Tuesday. If the overall lighting situation is considered an issue, the devs aren't addressing it openly.
