New graphics option- Turn off visual effects of party members

First of all, i love this game, I spent more than 500h+ playing it, and I won't stop it in the near future. I have a problem which annoys me, when I play in party with other players.

First of all, visual effects of other players, especially 4+ members kill my computer. I have to acknowledge that I have a potato computer, but it does not mean that I don't want to play the game with other players. This is my smallest (let's say 10%) problem with playing the game in multiplayer mode.

The biggest (about 90%) of the problem is that after spending some time - about half an hour or so- I feel that my mind explodes from all of those various visual effects, that come from different attack skills etc. To be honest, I don't want to end up just like my elder brother, who got epileptic seizures from playing computer games, when he was younger.


I don't care if I have to spend real-life money on this option, but I would like to see something like this integrated in PoE.


For a better, healthier future.

Adequate suggestion but it would devalue skill MTX. Won't happen.

There is really little chance that you would become epileptic because of video games. Even photosensitivy among people with epilepsy is pretty rare (I think that's something below 5%)... and you become epileptic because of an infection or because you have (amongst other things) inherited a genetic marker from your parents for instance. Don't worry, you won't get epilepsy by playing PoE :D

My biggest problem with effects is not really the fact that there is a lot of VFX on screen, but more than... it prevents you to see clearly incoming danger. Besides that, I would be cool with tons of VFX if we could anticipate when a boss is going to launch a fraking skill at your face.

I suggested something about that in my QoL thread.
