Game's getting so flashy :-(

Hey all,

as a long time poe1 enjoyer, ive been wanting to make this post, or something like it for a while, so here goes:

I struggle with high photo sensitivity issues, which has always made certain skills and such a no-go. Thats all fair, i just need to dodge stuff like Ball lightning and Penance Brand (boo-hoo), melee splas gem, Elemental Hit and the likes. I get that many people probably, for whatever reason, are fine with staring at strobe lights for hours on end, and even dig the flash. Different strokes and all that.

All that being said, its been feeling like the game has been ramping up the flashes per second lately. The real kicker was the keeper league new skill gem reveal video; that one was especially downer. Basically just a string of possibly unplayable skills for anyone who is not so much into the flash (if i remember correctly, couldnt find the video to rewatch on YT). And now that new holy slam skill in Mirage trailer seems like another flashmonster.

Similarly, the purple explosion when you run around getting rid of breachwalls (sorry for beating that dead horse) are also real bad, especially in dark zones like end of act2 (so many walls every campaign run in keeper league...)

TLDR: Every so often some nice clear potential skills that dont give epileptic seizures would be real nice. Or even better, make some sort of toggle button in graphic settings, that giga-lowers all flashyness (man can dream).

For reference: un-mtxed herald of ash is a real nice example of a colourful skill with some oomph, that has sort of a soft flash to it, which is much easier on the eyes (to me at least).

thanks for the great game and all that, and thanks for reading this breachwall of text... :-)
