Graphical Intensity Level Setting

Have you tried lowering your particle count all the way down? Not only does that provide much eyeball relief but it has the secondary benefit of improving your overall system performance.
Be well, people of CoH.

If anything, I'd like to see an option where the intensity of stuff like particle counts reduces according to the amount of people in your vicinity, and how much those reductions apply to yourself, your team, and your league, separately.|

Like, have an option that lets you set how much the particle counts fall off per person, and how much they don't fall off if they're coming from your enemies, yourself, your teammates' powers, and so on.

That definitely helps, but not to the degree I'd like. Thanks for the tip.|

The other thing that became more apparent after lowing the particle count, is the number of "screen shaking" powers in the game. Way too much IMO. It would be nice if there could be some way to turn that off feature as well.

Just received a PM to go to Options/Controls/Camera Shake. Works like a charm.
Now if I could just find a way to silence Demon Summoning MMs and Spines scrappers, all would be perfect.
I was actually sandwiched between 2 of them in WWs the other day - absolute torture.

I don't know about anyone else, but the introduction of power customization in combination with trials, my retinas are taking a beating. You get 24 people all simultaneously shooting off powers of varying hues and intensities, it gets rough on the eyes. I find myself quite often looking away from the screen during fights... if I don't, I tend to get splitting headaches.
Not to mention ... it would be nice to actually SEE what I'm fighting instead of a kaleidoscope of colors.
Suggestion:
Add an intensity setting for other peoples powers that can be adjusted from 0 to 100. At zero, I can't see other people's graphical effects. As you increase the level, the visiblity and intensity level for the powers increases. Personally, I'd probably set it around to 10-20 percent, just enough so I can see that a power has been used, but not enough that it causes visual issues.
