Is the hunter mode overlay not a texture file somewhere? Can somebody edit it and turn down the brightness that way?

Personally my brightness is fine everywhere and it doesn't bother me except when I'm looking for the blue objective marker.

There's really no polite way to put this.....

You're wrong.

The brightness and motion blur of Hunter Mode screws with the eyes in much the same way prolonged use of anaglyph 3D glasses or playing a Virtual Boy, or using a 3DS. The human eye is not intended to stare directly at that sort of nonsense for a protracted period. If I had eye troubles, I would not be in the slightest bit surprised if using Hunter Mode made them worse.

To give a good example of this, let me give a story dating back to the early days of the tubernets.

A long time ago, a friend of mine sent me a ROM hack of Mario Brothers 2 called "Disco Mario" After running the ROM, this was the nonsense that greeted me:



The entire sky backdrop of every goddamned stage was like this. I tried playing through it anyway, and I had to stop because.... Well, fricking look at it. Could you play for a protracted period with that nonsense going on? If you're like most people, then the answer is a resounding "no."

No one is asking to remove the Hunter Mode HUD entirely. What people are asking is that they tone down the brightness slightly, which shouldn't be a tall order. This should not be hard to fix, especially since the PC players already have the ability to remove the filter entirely via mods. Surely, toning down the blaringly bright colors should not be controversial.

Shame on the devs for taking the "not our problem" approach on this one. That's really not a good thing to tell a sizable shred of your playerbase who won't use the Geth classes because ti makes them dizzy or provokes migraines. Playing a game shouldn't involve causing physical goddamned pain.

And double shame on the people on BSN who apply blame on people who take offense at the problems brought about by hunter mode, and revealing themselves to be callous jackanapes. There is right and wrong on this issue, and those who are saying "STFU it's not a problem" are, unequivocally, and irrefutably wrong.

Yeah. Concerned with myself. Asking to ignore a useless fix benefits me SO much. I usually troll but you do disgust me. Silencing others is so Democratic by the way. Clap. Clap. Bravo Stalin, your an idiot.

This issue is not planned be patched, which is why it is not addressed in upcoming patch 1.04.

If the Geth Hunter mode is not to your liking you can change the brightness in game or on your monitor/TV or you can choose to play another class.

Um, can this be read as, "If it isn't in patch 1.04, we aren't planning on patching it?"

Whats the little smiley about?  Are you actually proud of the fact that this graphic element gives people eye strain and headache?  It's an atrocious oversight and I'm shocked it ever even got past your quality control department.

I've joked in the past that the fact it hurts people's eyes is some kind of intentional balancing feature, but until that reply I never thought that might actually be the case.

How about for a new feature the game could randomly play incredibly high pitched sounds when you use an ability?  It will have to be really powerful though, so people will still use it even though they start bleeding from their ears If they don't like it they could lower their volume, right?

I suffer from migraine headaches, and one of the worst things to trigger such a condition is the inability to properly focus.  I've used this ability and class sparingly as a result. In essence one little graphic is cutting off a huge piece of the game for me, and it's hardly just me if this thread is anything to go by.

Except that isn't true.

It's all relative. Clearly some people don't have any problem with Hunter Mode, they likely aren't lying about it just to ****** you off. And you are no one to tell them that they are wrong for not having a problem.

[JaimasOfRaxis]

No. They're wrong for saying there isn't a problem.

You can dismiss it all you want, but this is a pretty glaring issue for people. If you're not effected, kudos to you, but don't make a point of dismissing outright people who are. That's bad manners and does nothing to actually address the problem.

[N7-PurpleHaze]

It doesn't bother me too much, but I think it would be a little less obtrusive to have a screen border like Krogans/Vorcha instead of crazy shapes all over the screen

[-JP-]

I don't mind it, to be honest. Krogan rage mode, and even moreso Vorcha bloodlust, on the other hand.. Ye Gods.

if by dizzying you mean genius, then yes. sometimes i even make my head spin.

[twlst]

It's not the brightness.... it's the slight blur, and the giant symbols blocking the view... it's like my brain thinks there's something in my eyes - in fact, I get a pretty strong headache when I try to play with it.
I like the idea of playing as a geth, and most other races can't just to the sides... but right now it's basically not playable for me =(

[VilyaEleni]

Gun is overpowered? Let's fix it!
Minor bug? Let's fix it!
Gameplay actually causing your customers physical pain? Don't play then!

Okay. Thanks.

Personally, I think the Hunter mode, Krogan rage, and Vorcha bloodlust could all be turned down a bit, and I don't even have the problem with headaches that others have talked about having.

My heart goes out to you guys, and it is a real shame that Chris was so dismissive about something that causes a health issue. Chris, at the very least, you could relay this problem to your devs and look into toning down the issue with these ability HUDs.

Also I'd like to say it has nothing to do with brightness, it is the blur.

[Jaze55]

So, for the people who think Hunter Mode looks cool just screw them? I happen to like Hunter Mode. I am sorry your eyes are delicate little flowers but if you don't like it don't play it. Seriously, if your eyes hurt that bad you might want to see an eye doctor. I have ****** poor vision, wear glasses or contacts and have an issue with semi bright lights where my eyes tear badly and I have zero problems with hunter mode. Don't really understand how people can **** about this when my eyes are pretty dam terrible and it's fine for me.

Saying that, if it really hurts your eyes that's to bad, I feel for you, but the solution is don't play that class or don't turn on hunter mode. But don't ruin it for the rest of us that DO like it.

[VilyaEleni]

Yes, toning down the blur would ruin it forever.

I wouldn't be surprised if this caused the gi usage to go way up, and then a rebalancing being needed.
