I'm worried too many lighting effects

Hello everyone and I apologize if this has already been asked.

I have problems with my eyesight, too many effects of light hurt my eyes and so I wanted to ask a couple of questions for those like me who have very sensitive eyesight

regarding the lighting effects, is there any option to lower the intensity? (type Fire mage or Lightning mage)

Is there an option to disable other players' effects in Multiplayer? Can you imagine 6 magicians in the same spot?!

My eyes are already crying just thinking about it..

There might be some settings on your display for changing color warmth and intensity that could help you even now.
Certain Lightning Spells/skills look pretty heavy when it comes to "gloom effect", I agree. As long as you can reduce the gloom effect, like in PoE 1, I think we'll be fine. But I'll stay away from Lightning Skills/spells if I have to look at those effects every second. I don't think my migraine can handle that shit.
Sometimes, just sometimes, you should really consider adapting to the world, instead of demanding that the world adapts to you.
The screen clutter/vomit is a huge issue in POE1 but also integral to the type of gameplay GGG promotes. Unfortunately after the first couple hours it'll be the same in POE2.

I'm hoping we have better options for this in PoE2, most of the bright blue spell effects (storm call, doryani's fist etc) hurt my eyes pretty quickly and i love both skills!

they just need like a dull mode or a brightness limit this would be a huge + for me in terms of game options.

Even something that shifted colours on a spectrum would be wonderful (though might be a ballache in their engine i don't know)
I thought I was the only one but in reality it seems that there are other people like me..

We are waiting for an official response from the Team

As weird as it sounds, get sunglasses. My eyes can stand a lot, but at times I have worn them and they were a blessing.

Spoiler

All the way back in Xenon II Megablast, one could by dark glasses from the store. I bought those and all they did was turn the screen darker. I didn't understand until much, much later ;-).
Did you try turning it off and on again?
Does anyone sell any blacksmith glasses to play poe 2?
