Inner Light...

...or annoying outer light orb that's always in your face? It seems to go back and forth, at least on the PS4. Sometimes that dreadful orb goes away, and sometimes it persists like a bad case of the clap.

What's the word?

    I'm a fan of the stat effects, yes. I'm referring to the inconvenient, inconsistent glowing moon, orbiting my face.

    Under settings, go to video, then scroll down all the way to the bottom and set "Magelight Lighting" to off. That gets rid of the orbiting ball. At least on PC, I am not sure if it works on consoles.

    Actually, it doesn't ALWAYS get rid of it on PC. There are many times the ball appears, especially in dungeons, regardless of your video settings; it then seems to persist outside of the dungeon after you leave. I also don't know why, if you have Magelight or pet activated before you enter dungeons, that these spells do not persist once you enter them- instead of being forced to reactivate them; perhaps this is where part of the problem with Magelight and dungeons occurs and the devs should look at it. What causes Magelight to activate that ball more frequently in dungeons than outside of them, even if you have the visualization turned off in the video settings?

    Go use the forum search function type in Inner light and find out how many people have asked for this since launch.

    At the moment most of us have either lost any hope of ZOS listening or have left the game.

    lol, ZOS are you kidding me right now? Like actually read the above, and ask yourself why PBpsy and others who have supported your salary are being treated like garbage, since launch.

    I appreciate the feedback. Unfortunately, on the PS4, there is no option to turn off the orb. However, at certain times and locations (which appear completely random), you can get lucky and activate the spell without the orb. The face and hand effects still show, but the annoying ball of light never appears. Perhaps the option will be added in the future.

    I paid more attention to this last night and noted that, while in a dungeon, the orb of light appeared EVERY time... if activated outside of a dungeon, it did not. However, if you activated it in a dungeon or 'zone' that allowed persistent spells to follow you outside of it, the orb of light followed you too.

    So clearly, they made the 'option' to turn off the light to work in the outside world but DID NOT transfer that same option to work for every dungeon/delve.

    The option to turn off the ball doesn't work for the inner light morph. Instead it random show or random hides independent of whether or not you have turned off or on. This annoys both those who want to get rid of it and those who want it on.
