Invisible buff effect should be free... and other graphics shenanigans

It should be free because I don't want to see tempest shield when I look at the center of the map, I want to see the damned map. You shouldn't charge me for removing something I didn't ask you to put there.

Also, add gamma correction. I have the brightness on my monitor set up for work, and I'm not going to turn it up every time i start PoE.

This is probably not going to happen, but it would be good if you generally added a 90% reduced effects mode. Maybe 99%. Most of them are simply wasted in a blur when 40+ mobs converge on you, but contribute to the high system requirements and the lag.

I repeat, there's no need to load textures and shaders for 100000 different particles and auras that no one can see because they blend into each other. Especially since death is punished in this game so you can't even start moving in a map without waiting for the shaders to compile.

In case any "helpful" players want to explain to me how I can spend a couple thousand on hardware to mostly eliminate the graphics lag, please keep your advice to yourself. I play mostly on GeForce Now, this is as much as I'm willing to spend on hardware right now, and it can run the likes of Dishonored and Metro just fine.

I play exclusively on GeForce Now and the last two sessions were trash. The stream from GFN is fine, but the in-game FPS dipped to 3 FPS whenever something entered the screen - and it was just plain The Reliquary (Act 10) instances, so nothing special in the instances at all.

Most of the time it runs very smooth, though. I can't determine why performance sometimes (like right now) goes down the drain.

While it will never happen, invisible flask should also be free, along with invisible buff those are the best mtx in the game. First they make it mandatory to aurastack and have 100% uptime on all 5 flasks, then they collect revenue from people who cringe looking at 7+ default aura effects at once, very clever :)

Also, excessive visual effects are not for those already playing (GGG have our souls already:) ), but for those not playing and assessing the game by screenshots and videos, to increase chances of luring them to give away their souls too.

For this reason, 90% reduced effects mode is another dream that will never happen.
