    I don't have much time to browse the forum sadly so if this has been posted before I apologize in advance. With that aside, I shall continue with the subject at hand.

    Please! PLEASE! For the love of the Holy Emperor, the Chaos Gods, Eldar Gods and whatever the heck the Tau are worshiping. Can we tone down the visual effects?! Seriously! I know warhammer 40K is grimdark and over the top and all that goody bullshit but that's hardly a reason to end up with an epileptic seizure every time I try to play a match! I'm weeping blood tears here that would make Khorne's bloodlust subside.

    All my respect towards the dev team for their hard work and making this game true to the Warhammer franchise but the visual effects are blinding me to the point that it's staring to eat away at what pleasure I had at playing this game. Am I the only one? Getting hit makes the screen go dark and splattered with blood to the point that you'd think a Daemonette just lost her virginity near me. The traitor's meltagun blinds me (I'd be okey if it was the only thing that blinds me but it's not sadly), my own plasma rifle blinds me, even the muzzle flash from my bolter can make it difficult at properly aiming at an enemy 20 meters away, especially if the bastard is side stepping. Did I hit him? No idea! Guess I'll blind myself some more with the muzzle flash of my own bolter until the squiggly thing in the distance - that looks like a tap dancing black smurf with horns - stops moving. *sigh*

    I'm all in for eye pleasing visual effects but when my own fething weapon starts to blind me and make my life hard then I have to question if such visual effects are worth it.

    So... could we please tone it down? Maybe add a slider? I donno. Something! Anything! I'm desperate here!

    Its been mentioned before a few times but yes, its over the top. I really want to turn off that stupid UI overlay for when your armour goes down. I can't stand not being able to see because suddenly everything is fuzzy and yellow on top of plasma glare and other stuff. Even on low settings its abysmal. :<

    Which ones specifically?

    I posted a thread about visibility on the new map and Brent himself answered that they are aware the broken-armour effect covers the whole screen, and that they intend to make it only appear around the edge of the screen when they get a chance.

    I'm still pushing for a reduction in camera swinging, for the sake of my spouse. I personally think the flare on the heavy bolter is way too much. Its impossible to see anything immediately in front of you while firing. Just an increase in transparency would be good enough for me.
