If the game to improve on or add in new spell animations, textures, lighting, and graphics or to leave it as it is...

🟦 (blue): have 3d spell animations that are and have bold colors, iridescent textures, quality animation, that have changing colors, particles, and have very awesome/intense character animations with them.

Or

🟥(red) spells that are and have 2d with basic animations, less colors, and themed. Note: This can also mean the current spell animations as well.

Pick and choose one or the other option there is not a 3rd option.

Red option

Don’t change what we already have (except reverting unasked for ugly changes like the vampire ults, templar jabs, and dual wield flurry).
I really don’t like most in-your-face graphics/colors/animations and will refuse to use certain abilities and sets if I don’t like the visuals. New classes and skill lines or new morphs with different animations/visuals that people can use or not would be fine.

The fact that the first answer of a pole is represented in red and the second answer is represented in blue, and that they're the opposite of the pole options, is funny to me.

This is a 3D game. Making 2D animations is possible, but wouldn't look right with the aesthetic of the game. It has happened in some aspects of the game, and it's fine, but those are edge cases.

It's like that red square when you search for blue (reddit upvoted it as blue to break google).

Red option

Definitely less intrusive animations, I really don't enjoy combat when there are a lot of flashes and the visuals take up the whole screen, and I can't even see my character or the mobs. I think this type of visuals are for other games, and I hope ESO in general tones down the direction it's been going (with the mounts, recall animations, etc.), it's getting tiresome on the eyes.

Red option

I generally prefer less intrusive animations.

Red option

Plainer and themed animations for me, please.

Noone takes the blue pill... 😎

Red option

Would you rather...... discussion topics that were descriptive. Yes I would.

I'd also rather less flashy intrusive effects. I'm not 2 yo to be entranced by flashy lights.
In trials, lots of flashy effects obscure you seeing what is going on and give me a eye strain.
Plus anything to help performance.

Maybe a profile option for flashy or basic skill effects to keep everyone happy.

btw why to comments from people who selected the Red option have a blue rectangle?

It was not to long ago we were told the last generation of consoles were getting very close to hitting a memory limit with the game so while it would be cool this will never happen while last gen is supported

I'd love if my skills were nice and vibrant and the 11 other players skills were toned down a bit. Every time I'm in a trial, I get flashbanged and can't see any harmful ground effects. Things are too bright.
