Option to disable optical effects

Please Please pretty please. If any dev is listening make an option to disable battle optical effects.

We get hit by a torpedo then 2 secs of blasting don't see a thing, then hit by an exploding cannon you don't see a thing they you die because you got stuck on a wall cause you didn't see a thing.

Please give us an option to disable the effects or minimize them.

 

Any reply???

 

I agree, I've been in the same situation. But I guess the reduced visability of naplam is intended.

 

I doubt it’s something they will be interested in removing (even optionally). They probably consider all the flashing to be part of the experience.

I agree, however, that the effects can be very annoying. I notice in my Speeder that I’m often completely blinded at critical moments. If I could turn the effects off, I probably would.

 

Good idea, especially by gatlin, it's annoying af. At least pls consider making their effects lower.

 

The problem is bigger than this.
In the recent months the game has become unplayable in many aspects of it.
Be it performance issues on older devices, targeting issues, connectivity issues, match making issues and so on.
The devs seem to be preoccupied with adding more content and offering faster pace and action in order to attract new players but they have forsaken the solving of problems that's starting to rot, giving instead generic answers to problems that a lot of people report and that's a tactic that is not gonna last for long.

 

I disabled optical effects & now i can't even see my ship, or any other ships for that matter.

 

Agreed... more agility means more taxing of devices. Napalm also makes my device nearly unplayable. If there are multiple Napalm fires or secondary blasts my controls freeze up for a time... and if I happen to be alive after I get control back I consider myself very fortunate. I've asked for Napalm to be toned down multiple times. It's a huge issue which will ultimately diminish the player base, and this game requires a large player base to survive.

 

This issue is frustrating. Getting gang banged by 3 blast or fire items. Not being able to see or steer for 2 to 3 seconds. Then if you are alive. It's barely at the end.

The game can't handle the buff to every weapon. From a visual overload to game mechanics...steering the ship. It ruin game play. Makes it hard to watch also.

 

Hope someone hears and dedicates not only two but more updates on fixing things.
I'm leading a guild and everyday I hear complains from my members like:

• the targeting system s**ks
• the lagging kills me
• if they don't something about the performance issues I'm quitting
• the matchmaking system is bonkers

and so on.
Specially for the matchmaking system I've heard so many complaints from new players that I decided to create and alternate account and start from the beginning to see how thinks are going on the new player levels. After the trial/training period when infamy started counting I was first registered at 96 infamy level 8 captain and a lvl6 shooter.
Needless to say infamy evaporated on the first 5-6 matches as I faced opponents at lv26, 24, 21 with twice the gear score repeatedly. Killed in matter of 60-80 secs or less.
I now think the newbies were right to complain. But as usually I don't hold any hopes that they're actually gonna fix anything and that's a shame.

 

So true
