I honestly don't know hunter mode's visual effects got past QA. That they did, it leaves me very pessimistic about a potential change.

The migraine issue hasn't stopped me from playing them, but it has got to the point that I automatically pop 3 ultra strength Tylanol before I start playing just to ease things.
I hope, for the sake of your health, that you're joking.
Acetominophen/Paracetamol doesn't help against migraines. Plus 1500mg at once isn't a healthy or recommended dosage. Don't trash your liver for a game.
Hmmm... thanks for the info. I thought it was still helping, even if eventually the headache/migraine still occured after a while. Perhaps it was..... all in my head? *BadumCHING*
What do you recommend then? Ibprofun/Advil? My liver is fracked up anyway. ![=]](https://lvlt.forum.bioware.com/public/style_emoticons/default/sideways.png)
Migraines are a very specific type of headeches, they are part of neurological diseases as epilepsy, that`s why they need special treatment and not regular painmedication.
Other kinds of headaches can be induced by visual stress aswell. In these cases regular painmedication might work. But acetominophen shouldn't be used in 1500mg at once,
severe paintreatment is 1000mg at once to a maximum of 60mg/kg of your bodyweight per day, everything above that might lead to irreversible liver-damage.
Other painmedications as ibuprofen/diclofenac/ass (aspirin) works against headaches aswell. But I don't advice to use them. Constant use of these medications lead to gastric ulcera by increased production of gastric-acid. 10.000 people each year in america alone die because of abuse of aspirin without stomach-protection. ASS leads to increased bleeding by blocking the function of bloodplatelets. Ibuprofen/Voltaren (Diclofenac) cause kidney-failure when overdosed.
Don't take any medication at all to play a game. If a game causes physical symptoms, you shouldn't play it at all. If the hunter mode causes headaches: don't use it. Sad, I know, as it is really good, but medications aren't meant to make you play a game, they are not supplements or candy and shouldn't be taken lightly. The causal treatment for pain is to avoid the situation that induces it.
If you still want proper painmedication to just play the huntermode, at least see a local doctor and get a proper medical advice which medication in which dosage. I will not give these advices over the internet as I would take legal responsibility for it. Without a proper medical examination I'm not taking that risk.
