Do i need to see all the Glitter?

Wherever i go in Tamriel i see Glitter. It's everywhere. It's from skill animations. Some of them look really nice, fancy and cool. Others don't. Regardless of that: Why do i need to see a Daedroth spitting fire? Why do i need to see 100 particles coming off the Lightning Splash, the Ritual, the rune focus, the Boneyard - there is no end to it.
Don't get me wrong: I'm all for seeing the animations. I want to see them, because they are usefully to me. I want to know when i'm getting healed. What i don't want is the impression of playing Power Puff Girls rather then Elder Scrolls Online. Half of the time i see Michael Bay on dope, when i look at my screen and i just loose focus on what is important.
Yes i can turn particles down to an extend, but that does not fix the problem unfortunately. For Lightning splash (as example) i only need to see the lightning coming down, that's it. I don't need the fancy stuff on the floor or around. Damn Grave Grasp paints the whole floor - why do i need to see this? I'm perfectly fine with a circle and a few stones in it, so that i can actually see the healing spring underneath that or whatever has a positive effect.
There has been some changes to this subject, which i am aware of, but why did it just stop? I legit can not see my own attacks in Trials. The amount of times i questioned, if rapid strikes worked or if eso was lagging and i have to re-cast. It's just insane.
Please Zenimax continue (pick up) work on this or at least allow visual effects to be altered by addons.

✭ESO is already only capable of stunted 2014 engine animations, as it is... which can’t even support an added mini-game - let alone reproduce what animations my tool tip “working as intended” gear skill procs are supposed to be reproducing on-screen.
You necessarily CAN’T see any less “fancy” stuff.

Achronokey✭✭+1 Animations can cause a lot of problems when they take half of ur screen. There other half of a screen, however, already taken by huge amount of addons and ingame "useful" information like buffs, debuffs, resources etc.
I found some solution, i turned EVERYTHING off, then started to add interface back 1by1 to the point where i get important info but my screen does not look like spaceship control room. Im also thinking about setting graphic to minimum.Edited by Achronokey on July 9, 2020 2:29AM0
