    It strains my eyes :s
    Opinions are like buttholes : Everybody has one, and they usually stink.

    3 things to reduce stamina/magicka imbalance :
    - Use magicka to block abilities costing magicka, instead of stamina.
    - Add % damage reduction to heavy armor.
    - Add block penetration to 2H.

    Who's brilliant idea was this ridiculous thing? Why does the annoying disco ball need to orbit me all the time. Rework the animations for Mage light so that at least when morphed the stupid ball goes away.

    best thing is that if you go first person view its NOT rotating around you. Like if someone thought "man, that will be stressful to have a floating ball around you hovering through your screen" .. YES BRO that it. a constant rotating element is very annoying even if 3rd person view!

    I could understand the idea behind it if everyone got to be just as annoyed by it as the user but seriously, what the ef?

    Yea, I really wish I could get rid of hte magelight ball. I really like the glowing fiery arms/eyes effect, but the ball is too bright, and this game's overuse of flashy visual effects already gives me enough of a headache while playing.

    Voted No, no real argument, i just like the visual. It does not hurt my eyes, maybe they could have it as a "show" toggle if it really hurt people eyes.. In past ES games you had a ball hover over your head that looked lame, the rotating ball feels more "magic" . But how can you argue a "taste" matter...

    Yeah, you'd think if it was a Companion Cube with collision detection to boot, no-one would complain. :wink:

    But as it is now, I think the ball takes away too much attention from the gorgeous, glowy eyes, and the very cool smoky hands. It's just... superfluous. No-one else gets to see it, too (which actually is a blessing).

    PS: @tankqullb16_ESO‌, sorry, but I can't see either very well, since that interface of yours gets in the way. j/k :grin:

    With any luck you will only have one blinding blip taking up space on your screen.

    To me its just an annoying effect that serves no purpose and actually acts not only as a distraction but punctuates the many bad decisions made by the developers.
    Mage Light; Floating ball of light following you around, makes sense.
    Inner Light; Internal glow to accompany your external ball of light that follows you around. Huh?

    Basically you want a skill that makes NBs so easy to spot that their entire Class is quite useless, YET have your own character not stand out at all... to warn others about your use of this mechanic....good one.

    I see what you did there ^^

    It should give the individual sight... not have some orbiting ball of light that acts like some planetesimal/satellite.

    The way it appears with inner light minus the orbiting ball works well... just make it so the player can see... we don't need a dumb-a$s orbiting light orb when the skill is "inner light".

    If it hurts your eyes, something I find very hard to believe, then you must have your monitor brightness set too high.

    It doesn't hurt my eyes.. and I love when it illuminates things in front of me that I would not be able to see other wise.. however.. once you morph it to INNER Light....

    why the Hell should it remain an orbiting ball of light? Doesn't make sense!! Eyes and Hands get the glow.. let's get rid of the OUTER orbiting ball of light!
  • madstoogb16_ESO

    it gives you increased vision of stealth units and also gives you spell crit, If I see a mage/whatever with it on I tend to avoid them. If it had no animation.. just be stupid.

    Maybe don't have it on all the time? there you go.

    there are a ton of examples of useless effects in this game that really server no purpose but to add more lag to everything....

    I love the honor guards in the keep corners, that summon the stupid portals that do nothing, and then its funny when I can just run by them and not even get agro. but hey lest they go their little portal....

    I dont mind the mage light that much, but again it just seems like useless effects that add more lag for big battles. But what do you expect from a bunch of rookie developers?!

    I regulary turn it off. Not to conserve mana. But just because the color, brightness and movement strains my eyes.
    It's a bit like Hoth from SWTOR - where it was so white I was almost getting snowblind just playing on the planet.

    Did I mention I already play with Bloom off? I mean, why would anybody want a effect that simulates being blinded by too bright light?

    Fun fact:
    You cannot see that ball!
    Stop inventing stuff...

    Only the caster himself can see it!
    It is invisible for everyone else exept people who are grouped with him.

    Looks like Im going to have to Remake this thread in a couple weeks and try to be a little clearer in the initial setup and title. God forbid people read the thread and way the opinions of others before voting and/or posting.
