MY EYES, my eyes....

I like the new character select screen background. The change to the logout screen is also quite nice - I don't know if any of you noticed that? I just logged in to 8 characters, and got a different image displayed every time I logged out - it was like flashbacks to ESO past.

I did - and some of them I'd never seen before, so that was really cool!

I think it looks gorgeous!
Loving the varied backgrounds too!

I think some of you may have the saturation and brightness settings a bit high. I generally like it but also see the point that it would probably look even better with the lighting softened a bit and the colors not quite so bright, or popping in just a few spots where the sun’s rays hit just right.

Spring and summer are coming and I've been very into orange lately, so this character screen is perfect for right now. Also I love how my character looks with it, it really makes the black stand out.

The shadows on the face are perfect with the war paint. (feat. smug little echalette.)

I don't mind the autumn vibes, this summer will be orange gold all the way!

I LOVE the selection screen, it feels so alive.

The new selection screen is quite nice, kudos to Art&graphics department!

ZoS please just add in background selection.

Let us see the old backgrounds again, or add some new ones to mix in.

Variety is nice.

The scenery and landscape are beautiful. Also the color design. But, as has already been said, there is a little too much saturation. Less bright yellow and it looks nice. At the moment the characters look unnatural. Dark races, like dark elves, look much worse. I would also like to say that I really like the music this time.

I use an enb to balance the colors in eso to my liking, having had my current setup active for the past several years. The first thing I though when I logged in post patch was a not entirely serious 'I feel like I'm being stabbed in the eyes.' I don't feel like I should have to modify my game visual settings just to get past the character select screen every time I go to it, and while I like the autumn colors, the intense glowing sky is, in my opinion, excessive, and makes it feel like the eldritch god of pumpkin spice is descending from the heavens, looking to destroy all non-believers. Color intensity like this suits special moments in the game, not something that people see every time they log in.

This would be my suggestion as well, however there's no doubt that ZOS puts the latest content on the log-in and selection screens as a sales feature... to keep the upcoming DLC fresh in the prospective customer's minds. I don't see them voluntarily giving up that potential marketing edge.

The New orange washed out Autumn character screen looks out of focus, extremely dated, and rather cheap.

shadyjane62

Worst whatever I ever seen. And I thought the tentacles were bad. I have to put on dark glasses when I log in cuz it hurts my eyes.

Are there any news about disabling this new background ?

i become headaches from looking at it
Ok, wearing sunglasses might help or switching off the background light of my monitor ( which is a completely unuseful hint above ) , but this background should be switched off instantly ....

For those fews who are liking it, please make an option to select this maximum orange background, so that , those fews can be happy and dont suppress those who are having really problems with this new maximum glowing orange.

Someone in my guild said a good sentence about this background :
"Whatever they are consuming, they should instantly stop consuming it ....."

Are you really expecting this? We've had so many different backgrounds with varying degrees of love/hate on them, this new one would be the first that would get the option to disable it, as far as I know.

I also don't remember that kinda "outcry" because of the other backgrounds, and oh boy, some of them were *not* to my liking at all.


Just log in fast
So you don't have to stare at the screen so long. Let it load to character screen, pick one, and squint until it's gone.

Bjoerdr

Surely i actually think that there will be an option soon,

because this time its not only "uggly", its hurting the eyes

and its the opposite of barrier-free...

DUTCH_REAPER

lol I actually like the graphics update. Things look really good.

It's just the Gold Road background, right? Not like... an entirely orange tint to everything?

Can't wait to quest in this mexican/mars filter zone with arcanists casting their laser rave beams, people using flashbang mounts, weapon styles and casting Legionnaire's Recall. Meanwhile of course my nightblade is made into a hazard light.

Because I don't want this, this is hurting me, and I'm saying it as someone who often like autumn and such colours. This is just too saturated.

The yellow/orange character screen background is nice, but WHY SO BRIGHT?
Do you want to destroy my eyesight? ZOS, that wasn't a good idea!
And why do the colors throughout the game now have a paler saturation with a slight yellow tint?
In the past it was difficult enough to find a place with enough natural light to dye my costumes in a trial and error loop.
Currently it is impossible for me to color my outfits with good looking colors, even when using the "Sacred Hourglass of Alkosh".
I can't believe I have to adjust my monitor's color temperature and contrast only for this game.

ahh my eyes. main menu background needs a dimmer switch on it. log in on a alt any alt get me off this screen. ugg wrong alt Exit game.

Even though I was glad to get rid of the mushroom, the appeal of this new background faded fast. It is too bright and there aren't enough other colors so it looks like just one big orange blob. Please tone this down.

harvey07

it is the glow coming off the background area for me radiating off the skin of my characters. if i rotate my character i can see the light glow reflection follow my character from side to side. it is rather shiny. by that i mean: SUPER SUPER shiny.

Hamfast

My main, who has been a vampire since 2015, feels the seed to run and hide... I keep telling him it's only Autumn colors, he still thinks it's on fire.

thedocbwarren

I wish we could just pick a background. So bright and nasty. I'd just pick a nice dark Coldharbour scene and leave it.

Grimm1651

While I love this one (and loved High Isle, Blackwood, and Greymoor as well), I would very much also like the option to pick background between the current and previous character select (Gold Road, Faction, Necrom, High Isle, etc.).

TomCat

I may have found a solution for myself to avoid burning my eyes out at the character selection.
Unfortunately I will have to replace my keyboard/mouse with a controller.

From what I understand, the login screen is actually like a little micro zone your character is standing in.

I think part of the problem is that the lighting seems to be in the back, shadowing the character's front. Changing the brightness of that light and moving it might fix the problem.

I don't think they'll give the old loading screens back. It'd be too much work to do individual zones like that, if that's indeed how it works.

Those old boxes are most probably all in game files still, they've also said that they'll probably do that also when we got to know about choosing loading music and such if I remember correctly.
