disable weather effect/dynamic lighting?

Found it odd that there is no way to disable it. I know its mostly in the opening section, but doesnt mean that there shouldn't still be an option to disable it. especially for those with low end systems.

I personally want to disable it because the constant flashes trigger migraines for me. in the open beta I had to run past the 1st level, and I fought the boss right in front of the town door where it was in the shade so the lightning flashes weren't an issue

seems legit to me, even if it's by a little... a change for + in performance always seem good

I know this game is quite playable even on a stone age computer as mine with 1 core 2.2 ghz cpu, 3 gb Ram and integrated intel graphic card (128 MB, GMA 4500M).

+1 please make it possible to disable rain

Been using the PoE particle control app (love it) and I agree.. an in-game way to alter these would be of immense help. While it does help a lower end system run the game it also helps higher end by making it easier to see whats going on without serious eye strain and limits those times when a massive framerate drop sometimes happens on some effects bursts (has killed a few of my HC chars). My higher end system gets to enjoy a more consistent framerate with less worries about a sudden drop at the worst possible time (when everyone is spamming everything they have).

For example I care less about the special effects from my teammates then I do about the ones from boss itself, so when they overlap I want to see what the boss is doing rather then have them all overlap into one impossible to tell mess. When there is a giant congealed mass of glowing particle effects on the ground I really only care to see the ones that can kill me... any others are just blocking my view.

+ for lighting flashes. Really bad thing.

this has actually been proposed a million times since OB launch but still no effect :/

Yeah I would love to turn the fog off that pervades certain areas (looking at you act 3 in particular). Anytime anything like that is on the screen my FPS tanks immensely.
