Bloom effect or BLIND? (blinding levels of bloom from flares)




The levels of bloom are ridiculous. This needs to be addressed ASAP, as it's literally impossible to even see your character.

Sitting in HO spamming alts for 4 hours straight is peak PoE gameplay. Thanks, Chris.

Another moved thread. Guess this is not considered an environmental bug...

Literally it is unpleasant for my eyes just to look at those screens.
I am the light of the morning and the shadow on the wall, I am nothing and I am all.
This is a buff :P

Joking aside, how could anyone at GGG consider this normal?

This is 'slight' bloom.

1st image for comparison.

2nd image is Volatile Dead only, with the Stygian MTX, spammed with no enemies, so as tame as this skill can be. The whole screen is glowing blue.

3rd image is during combat.

It's like playing with someone shining a torch in my face. Please allow us to turn this off.
That's no flare, that's a flash bang.

Seriously though the bloom is insane, and yes I Have it on "Slight". Causes eye strain and blurred vision for me. Headaches for others.

Also blinding people in delve apparently.

GGG, I want to play your game all day, but I literally can't because my vision gets blurry after only a few hours. I have to take breaks and use eye drops or my vision is blurry all day.

Holy crap the fact that GGG is forcing this on people is ridiculous.

I agree. I want to be able to turn this off.
before without post process and lights on low:


before with postprocessing on + number of lights normal/high:


now with bloom on "slight" and lights on low


now with bloom on + number of lights normal/high:
Who the fk sees that and goes “mmmm yeah, solid visuals.” Garbage.

Wow, this bloom is really bad. Normally I would have been in maps on the second day, but with the eyestrain headaches from the bloom I haven't even finished act 5.

We really need to be able to turn off bloom.
