Disable Skill Effects

Hi there,

I'm trying to play that game since closed beta. I really love it. But whenever I came back it just keeps about a month then I'm leaving because of fancy skill effects.

It's really impossible to play in a party as a COLOR BLIND person. So much skill effects around I can't even see mobs this is just frustrating. I saw same thread couple of times even reddit but never a GGG employee response those threads. This shouldn't be that hard at least give a response please I'm not asking for color blind mode just need to disable other players skill effects in a party.

Thanks

sorry that the game is unplayable to you due to the effects.

point is: some players buy effects to look good in the eyes of other players (not only themselves), some like to show their substantial support towards the game.

there is simply no point for most players to buy effects when other players can disable them. and the game solely depends on players buying mtx.

I also made a thread about it :

Enabling health bars helps to locate targets in the middle of a storm of effects. Honestly, this game's skill effects are mellow, toned down and extremely brief in comparison to the skills of other games like this (Drinking a health potion in Torchlight causes your whole character to shine in a brilliant light and also the potion on your skill bar flashes too). I also like to run builds that auto-curse (corrupt gloves with temp chains on hit for example) and the curses over the heads of enemies can help in visually distinguishing them as well.

As for color-blindness, I thought the biggest frustration has been sockets and gems. Would be nice if all the red gems were square-shaped and went in square sockets, blue gems round, and so on.
