General Discussion - Bloom always on? - Forum

I fully agree. It is a mystery to me why they have removed that option in the first place. At least for me it is much harder on the eyes. I am out until they have implemented that option again. IGN: Dreador	Posted by Vigor113#2760 on Jun 27, 2020, 8:49:38 AM Quote this Post

Save our game, remove all of the constant RNG and allow us to turn off Bloom or give us an in game brightness control!	Posted by Maelstromicus#3096 on Jun 27, 2020, 6:16:29 PM Quote this Post

Just as well there are other things to do, what a shame. 40+ hours a week playing down to less than 6. Still, as long as reddit is kept quiet, what else matters? I loved Path of Exile.

Yup. I finished the storyline and realized I didn't want to spend any more time in this eyesore. Haven't logged in since. IGN Weebletz, Mirana_Callidus	Posted by Timmy101#2409 on Jun 30, 2020, 12:00:04 AM Quote this Post
I find it almost unplayable when delving - flares and certain skill effects like spark just lightup so intensely in the darkness its a major eye sore.	Posted by DreadLordAvatar#2783 on Jun 30, 2020, 12:04:42 AM Quote this Post
