Blinding effects and possible damage hazards.

[Dexmasa]

Hello, im not sure if this is the correct category for this but i already placed it in the forums a couple times already and no one seems to see it, in fact it got deleted twice now, but i still think this needs attention, it's regarding that blinding effect that some enemies can give to the player, Alad V for example with his fight alongside Zanuka, the problem is that this is EXTREMELY aggressive and actually dangerous for people as it is very bright and a burning white directly exposed to the eyes of the player, this alongside the constant particles and the extreme work that the game does to automatically dim out the extreme brightness from certain guns and frames is really and extremely dangerous to the eyes of the players, i would heavily request that this is looked up or at LEAST investigated a bit, its only a matter of time before this causes severe damage to someone because some bursas LOVE to spam this and its a constant barrage of blinding effects one after another, same as Alad V, please consider looking at this as this is really important in my opinion and its not something that should be in the game, while im not against the idea of giving a small stun to the player like the blindness does, i dont think that a massive white screen on the player's eyes is the correct way to do it and if it's possible i would suggest to change that so that the blindness gets given ONLY to the frame and not the player as well, replace the white screen for a simple animation to the frame that makes it react to it and not something to actually handicap the player phisically, or even some kind of noise effect on the game screen would be good like distortion to the transference link or something like that, i would think that's better than a massive white screen directly on the player outta nowhere.

Extremely dangerous to the eyes of the players?

 

... can I suggest that you obviously have set your screen too bright? I can assure you that my screen, even when it's mostly white, has never hurt my eyes.

I think the reason that you're not getting a lot of attention is because it's getting lost in a literal sea of people saying the same thing.

One of the things you can do is adjust your settings, to reduce the glare and bloom of effects, and even turn off many of the particle effects. One thing you can't do is stop an effect where the designated outcome is to turn the screen white to prevent you seeing the contents, from actually doing that.

All you can do in that situation is the actual recommended advice for gamers the world over; play in a well lit room and adjust your screen brightness so that it's balanced a little lower. The lighting around you, in fact, is the key that will stop your screen from ever blinding you, if you play in the dark, your eyes are straining, so when it gets to a flash-bang effect, you are going to be blinded too. This cannot happen if you're playing in a well lit room, because the ambient lighting prevents your eyes from straining to see the content.

Definitely not the case for me either, my screen brightness both in game and on my monitor are very low, my problem is what i explained above, the overly aggressive white screen that gets constantly spammed by certain enemies, like the examples given, Alad V and some bursas, there's no way that a constant barrage of white screen one after another in a short time span cant hurt your eyesight, no matter the settings of your brightness

Sadly i already dimmed most of the effects, leaving only certain particles on to avoid this as much as possible, but still i believe this is a problem that can persist regardless of your settings, as for me i have most effects off and my game looks very decent to my eyes but there are other people that dont have the same settings or play on defaults and the issue i mentioned above will definitely be a problem for them, and even playing a well lit up room doesnt keep you 100% safe from these hazards.
