Need a way to turn off player Effects! A RANT!

Coatmagic

/rant on
Went into my first trials last night, and for the love of the nine I thought 4 man was bad,
with 12 and all the stupid £"$%!!^% effects going on could not see a bloody thing!
WTAF ZoS? You think this is 'fun' trying to see anything through all this stupid fireworks BS??
It is not. This 18+ game and trial looked like £$%"!£ childrens hand held ooh so many sparkles -_-
My guess is you couldn't figure out a way to make them interesting/harder other than blinding people?
/rant off

Yup, this is a major reason I don't to trials on any regular basis. I can barely tell what's going on. Believe it or not, it used to be worse. They did disable visibility of many player-placed effects a while back. It has helped considerably.

Look for a button labled PWR or try alt F4 if the particles are to much. Works everytime.

Have you seen how the “best players” do it? They have so many addons and info flying across their screen I wonder if they’ve ever seen what the mobs look like.

There is a way. I’m on my phone, but it’s in settings - at the bottom of one of them.
Just look under each tab in settings, scroll to the bottom it will be on one of those- show player effects; you can select On Off. (Or maybe Yes No)
Unless you mean something else?

It’s called Show Additional Ally Effects. You can turn it off but it doesn’t remove them all

Yes, I see that problem too. Especially when tanking. When tanking HRC, I barely see what The Warrior is doing... Fireworks everywhere.

Try being a stam sorc with hurricane, literally invisible. At this point the rotation is a combination of muscle memory and hoping for the best.

I actually hate how I can't see Destro Ults that well as a tank because I am always afraid of moving the boss out of the Ult without realizing it. When my BF and I two man stuff (2 DPS), I have to tell him I am dropping my destro ult and not to move the boss. I wish that was more visible. Like, maybe give me an option to turn them off and on and change the color so if I have a friendly AOE somewhere, I can change the color to green and know to stay in that area or where a shard/wall AOE is as a tank.

Include combat pets in the list of things to tone down and remove and I will be your champion.

Yeah as a less experienced tank; this is why I have mine on. Sometimes it’s obvious where ultis will land; but sometimes it’s a boss where I have to move and I need to know around which point to move.

Yes, this can be a real pain - especially if you are playing as a tank trying to watch for animations so you know when to block.

They need to do something about it. I've been seen saying similar things for probably over a year now. They also need to do something about pets and summons as they literally seemed programmed to stand in your face so you can't see anything. It's annoying.

idk

Player affects that do not need to be seen by others have been turned off. Some affects Zos has deemed helpful for at least some in the party to see.

While I agree ESO has a lot more visual affects going on that strain all but the to gaming rigs, it is much better than it was. Though the worst trial for this. vHoF, is more about the NPC affects which is why it stands out so much.
