I can't see shit

Since this topic is getting kinda big and it shifted a bit from a single question to a serious complaint, i edit the OP to better reflect the thread

This Thread is about everything that makes the Game hard to play because it impairs your vision in any way. Also it is about suggestions, what we - the players - believe could help the issues.

Please dont come in here posting something like "if the others annoy you with firestorms all over your screen, just spam poison arrows to annoy them!" - that's not helping, thats beeing a jerk and an attention whore

Also dont waste your time on posts like "but i like the lightning infernos." Noone says we want it to be out of the game. We want the OPTION to shut it down or diminish it, when its getting too much.



Most common complaints


The original Post

There's nothing you can do. Just pray to the gods of Wraeclast that the GGG programmers will add an option to let us choose lower particle effects.

(BTW there are games out there with that kind of option, maybe ask those developers how to add the feature to POE).

First of, an option would be great...

Secondly, I'm quite sure GGG's developers know how to implement such an option if they wanted, so don't think they need to look elsewhere for that., maybe, just maybe, they have more important stuff to do.

And last i really like my screen filled with over the top effects, so i don't really see it as a problem.

Would be a welcome Option in "Options" to reduce the particles for those melee-based heroes. :)

As well as being able to turn off highlighting/clickability on allies and allied minions.

Okay so i didnt miss the option, its just not there (yet)

i wonder why the targeting of allies and minions is there in the first place. i dont know a single heal or buff spell or anything for that matter, that u can cast on allies.

Has anyone else the feeling that the second u party up you get one summoner in a Zombie infested level coupled with 4 guys that make the entire purpose of their characters to blow everything up with as much lightning and firestorms as possible to the extend that you cant see what the f**k is going on?
Im overreacting here, i know, there are a lot of kind and nice people that use cleave, groundslam, dualstrike and split arrow. But its definitely happening as often as not...
Is there a way to reduce particle density or something and im just to blind to see it? or is there really nothing i can do?

You mean that when you have four or five people fighting together in the same area, it looks like all hell is breaking loose and in the chaos, you're not quite sure what is going on?

Yep, sounds about right to me. Carry on.

Yes got the same problem can't see shit when im in a party with more then 2 people

I agree, add an option to disable auras appearing on allied minions and and reduce the particle effects of friendly players spells/effects. This will allow me to much better focus on what I'm doing.

We need floating HP bars over enemies heads.

Right now its damn near impossible to see anything when my minion count goes over ten, and there have been dozens of times where parties will be firing at a room full of my minions thinking there are still enemies around... because they cant tell the difference.

you cant see whats going on, so you want to put more things on the screen ontop of the enemies you cannot see in the first place?

sounds almost as silly as turning on the heater and leaving the door open when its snowing outside..
