    Don't buy it then?

    How does that change the fact that other people can, and you have no control of if they just decide to run around bar swapping all the time?

    I just ran a pug dungeon using the staff. Funnily enough, one of the others was using the staff as well. It was a Red Petal dungeon. And I just don't get it. The animation was barely even there. And you could barely even notice it next to all the other bright animations that the mobs or bosses used. If anything, hearing both of us swap weapons was more of a nuisance. A constant "Swoosh! Swoosh!" sound.

    No one is telling those with medical disabilities to not play this game. But there is so much more flashing and shiny stuff in this game in every zone than this weapon effect.

    Is this a problem on all platforms? I'm on Xbox Series X and hardly notice anything when I swap my bar. Just curious, I am 100%s supportive of adding an accessibility option to allow people to turn off bright flashes.

    As someone having a lot of issues with light sensitivity and this specific arms pack, it's really messed up to see how many of you basically think:

    "lol doesn't effect me, so I don't care and ZOS shouldn't fix it"

    Completely ignoring the issues many people might experience when there are insanely bright lights flashing on their screens that they have no control over.

    Literally already anecdotes of groups of players getting together and spamming weapon swap to spam the effect in public areas.

    There ya go ZOS, that's your customer base for your flashbang weapon pack. Enjoy them.

    Welcome to the Internet. Are you new here?

    I was previewing this style in Crow store and I literally though that some one was using some skill / memento off camera. Only later I realized it is the motif itself. By clicking on different type of apperal slot it looked almost as if a couple of journalists were taking photos... almost like this (warning, flashing objects)

    I wonder if I can achieve same effect by simply applying a style to only one weapon & then just bar swapping :joy:

    I mean it is kind of flashy but I find I'm more bothered by the sound effects. I don't think any previous arm packs had any sound effects.

    Personally the Audio Clues are good, it's nice for knowing when you Bar Swap, which you should know since you pressed the button and the animation change, but sometimes you just Zone out and it's good to have something help in that regard.

    They look really good in my opinion! I Can't wait to buy them :smiley:
    But its a bit stressing that people Beg that its flashiness is immediately reduced, lol and Some saying its "literally" causing them pain??
    Why not just don't get it then, and let other enjoy the flashy swords?!

    Because everyone can see the flashing and can grief other players with it by getting up in their face with then constantly swapping bars so it flashes continuously. Its especially noticeable in tight and dark spaces like in dungeons where you can't escape your own group member who decides to be a troll and spams it in your face.

    How does one person not getting them prevent those around them from using the weapons?

    I bought this style and for me it's a big disappointment.

    Don't get me wrong, it's nice on a sword or dagger, but on the rest of the weapons it looks awful.
    The dark glow is exaggerated, so it doesn't look nice anymore.
    It's just too much on a destro staff for example.

    The sound is all by all ok, but the flash hurts my eyes. Very annoying, especially when gaming in a dark environment.

    I rly hope the intensity of the flash will be adjusted in a near future. As for now, this was a waist of money for me :/
