I love the new class but the Arcanist class can cause serious health issues.

I love the new arcanist class, unfortunately its main mechanic can cause serious health issues. It's about the "cruxes" spinning in a circle.

Some people, myself included, may experience discomfort, headaches, imbalances, or dizzines when they see objects moving steadily around a regular circle, what cruxes exactly do. This is due to congenital predispositions associated with disorders in the labyrinth of the ear.

Therefore, on behalf of myself and other players with such a problem, I kindly ask to create some kind of an option to disable the graphic effect of cruxes mechanic around the players character - maybe some tracking option in the form of buffs above the skill bar instead or sth else.

P.S. I would love to seriously play this, but the above issue prevents me from doing so. The exactly same issue has shaman class in WoW and probably many other classes in mmos.
I know I already created this discussion, but unfortunately in the wrong tab.

    The ability to turn off unwanted or even harmful animations caused by other players is long overdue (looking at you, flappysorc).

    Unfortunately zos refuses to even take position on this topic let alone taking action.

    Overland difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 9 years. 6 paid expansions. 24 DLCs. 40 game changing updates including One Tamriel, an overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver & Gold as a "you think you do but you don't" - tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the game. I'm bored of dungeons, I'm bored of trials; make a personal difficulty slider for overland. It's not that hard.

    I rarely run flappies on my own Sorcerer because they makes me nauseated. It isn't so much that the twilight flaps its wings, it's that it bobs up and down as well. The two effects together are just too much.

    Indeed, sometimes when I'm zoomed in rather far (like to do so for immersion purposes) and suddenly am surronded by 2-3 flappies I get slight headache rather quick

    ..and this is the reason I cannot play the class and will not buy it... I have everything else
    Also going to need to think of ways to play with them nearby.
    This company lags behind all the others in terms of accessibility.

    I didn't buy Necrom for just this reason.

    My motion sickness from testing an arcanist wasn't too bad, so I presume I'll be fine playing alongside other people's characters. But I'm not planning to make arcanists for myself.

    I've bought all content in the past, including a couple of things I had access to anyway via ESO+. But not Necrom at launch, or at launch price.

    How can we find out if the developers are atleast aware of this issue or inform them?
    It is the coolest class so far, just too epileticogennic even for healthy people.
    if they would at least give the possibility to reduce the visual and sound effects to any extent for people with problems like us :(
    As far as I can stand the general overgrowth of visual effects, but flying cruxes are just too much for me.

    I used to get the same side effects from the Hatchlings Shell set a long time ago. Seemed like a good idea at the time but I had to stop using it because of the headaches and dizziness.

    maybe that's a bit overkill, right?

    Since we're on the topic of the game causing problems for people, maybe they can also do something about the camera pan/spin every time you interact with a crafting table? I get the same dizziness just trying to do daily writs.
