Intense feelings about PoE's arachnids?

Huh, I'd think a game would be a great way to start taking control of your phobia.
I have some nasty water phobias but I've forced myself to swim over the past couple years and I'm making great progress. How about every time you see a spider in game, you just go into rage fuck spider up mode? Protip: Incinerate+GMP Kill it with fire and you can't see shit |

I have been somewhat afraid of spiders most of my life and ironically one of the biggest I have ever seen was recently in my house and scared the crap out of me. I was almost frozen because it was so big, it actually made me think of a tarantula.
Anyways that all being said I still think most of you in this thread are being pansies about spiders in a video game. Man up and hack those beasts apart! Standard Forever

Found a solution: turn down your texture settings (there's a post somewhere about editing the config file to achieve 1980s style textures) and the spiders no longer look real enough to be scarey. Only the ones in the weaver's nest get to me. Here's what I do:
Turn textures down all the way using config file Turn resolution down all the way and play in a windowed mode, so the spiders are as tiny as posible Turn on the minimap with 100% opacity so help block the spiders If you were glasses, take them off during the level |

Well, to be fair, spiders in DII are a lot scarier, and can create far more problems for you.
Of course they don't teleport, so in some cases easier to manage. The option to do something about spiders for people with arachnophobia would be nice, right now probably the only way is to downscale the graphics all the way to 2005 Runescape level in the ini file.

If they could just do a single option to replace the spiders models with any other it would be great and don't seems that difficult to do :/ . I know they propably have other things to work on but I'm so frustrated that I can't play this game ^^ . In diablo 3 at least you can avoid them without so much trouble, in poe it seems impossible, and i'm not sure if downgrading the graphics would be enough (in addition to render the game ugly ^^)
Edit : Well I've just send an email asking GGG if they could do domething about it, don't think it's going to change anything but maybe if others do the same they might consider it. Last edited by mouimoui#7746 on Aug 12, 2014, 7:34:40 AM
