Option to turn off or adjust spell particle visuals... Would be a nice feature to have.

I logged into my old EQ account the other day so I could do some reminiscing. I was a GM in that game and have so many awesome memories. While in the game I was reminded of a cool option you had for graphics adjustments when it came to spell particles. You could:
- turn off all spell particles
- turn off everyone else's spell particles and just display your own
- reduce the amount of spell particles displayed
- reduce the amount of spell particles displayed based on distance
I do not have any issues with running this game at ultra anything, but I imagine it could help others who might have trouble. This could also be very help for those who have issues in trial situations where they cannot see everything being cast because of so much going on. Not an issue for me, although it would be a nice option. I just wanted to throw the idea out there to see what others thought. I'm not trying to dumb down the game either, so hush your mouth if you think so lol.
I wonder how hard it would be for them to implement something like this. @ZOS_GinaBruno

✭My biggest beef with spell particles is that, as a Nightblade, most of my visuals are black and red so they really blend into everything else. Makes it feel like I'm not contributing much because I can't see my effects through all the fire and explosions and lightning and stuff."As an online discussion of Tamrielic Lore grows longer, the probability of someone blaming a Dragon Break approaches 1." -- Sheds' Law

I'd also like to lower spell visuals. Especially for trials. Sometimes it's difficult to notice whether or not you're standing in a red zone. I'm sure it would also help greatly in reducing lag in trials.2 -

✭✭I would sit here and click agree on this for the rest of the day if it would get it considered by the dev team. In trials I have an extremely hard time following what is going on when 8 people are throwing ground effects in every direction, 2 healers are bombing the area with bright flashy circles, meanwhile I'm over here trying to attack weave at less than 10 FPS while not standing in stupid that I usually cannot see fast enough to move out of.
This has become more of an issue with the introduction of Halls of Fabrication where boss mechanics are more important than ever. Also some kind of loading priority in this game would be REALLY nice.. I do not really need to see the 40 people at a dolmen (and their bears) who are not in my group, like.. at all. I would rather see the mobs please.Edited by Caligamy_ESO on June 15, 2017 1:05AMlove is love5 -

Not really. I'll mention BDO in this case. Option to turn off player's effects, especially for large scaled world boss fights. (if I'm not mistaken). Lowering the number of visuals will greatly help low-end PC's performance. Which is a setting ESO is lacking imo. Sure, there's "low" quality but that's not really *that* efficient to help out low-end PCs. I don't have the issues myself, but I know people who greatly struggles in boss-fights etc.(Obviously this should not be possible in Cyrodiil / BGs, as you would need to see your enemies/Allies' skills.Ignorance is the greatest weapon of tyranny.

Sheva I 7 I✭✭✭✭big problem with these is is how in end of trial, if some use an event firework that was save from past celebration holiday of eso, party cant see and maybe person who save this firework would be sad so idk maybe other fix? i think is fine for now, but who knows so many thing changed now that maybe this the answer to good templar build if cant see rune focus anymore?0 -

This isn't either of those games.
And by intent it's never suppose to be large scale .......more important, this isn't either of those games due to the combat being more live action and almost no call and response. As such you must have the visuals which is why I mention animation-PC (PTS)/Xbox One: NewBlacksmurf

Please explain to me how you think FFXIV is not live action combat heavy on skill visuals and cues? How was ESO not designed for large scale battles by intent? Where are you getting your information at? These are of course rhetorical questions..Time Mazagine - Time.com wrote:In an interview with Matt Firor:
More recent MMOs have been figuring out how to fold event spontaneity into their exploration/loot hunt/leveling games. How dynamic and mutable is ESO (as opposed to scripted) as you move through the world?
We have a couple of different types of spawning content in the world. We have our Dark Anchors, which are large-group-based open world encounters where you and your friends take on allies of the big bag guy, Molag Bal. We also have miniature versions of those (Dark Fissures) that are solo-able as well as other randomly spawning encounters at various points around the world. When you add that to the exploration content we have (treasure chests, skyshards, mini-dungeons, etc.) as well as our really in-depth questing system, there’s a ton to do in the game.
ESO has a huge advantage over other startup MMOs in that it's built on a successful franchise, but how are you handling sustainability post-launch? What sort of content rollout schedule should players expect?
We have been working on post-launch content for many months now – our first post-launch package, Craglorn, is our first Adventure Zone. It introduces Trials, a large-group competitive PvE endgame, four-man Veteran Dungeons, a Death Recap screen so you can see who or what killed you, and an entire overworld designed for groups. While the content packages we have will range in feature sets, Craglorn illustrates the kind of commitment we have to providing regular content to our players. Over time, you’ll get new systems, new zones, new quests, stories, and lots more.

Slightly confused here. Generally, how the effect is perceived is machine based. So, if I had the option to turn off particles, I wouldn't see mine or any other players however, it wouldn't effect a player with particles turned on.
If not, what am I missing?

No, that's not how it works. We are simply asking for a way to tone down the spell visuals. I'm really surprised they haven't done this a lot sooner. It could reduce so much lag.0 -
