Enhanced Client - Earthquake effect is unbearable

looploop Posts: 393
in Bugs
1. Gather any number of mages (at a champ spawn, for example)
2. Have them all cast earthquake
3. Observe screen shake is unbearable

Gif just shows me, but you can imagine how the effects stack on top of one another with multiple mages. I'm aware that you can filter the effects, but other players are not. This effect should just be removed.

    What it's like on a good day at a champion spawn:

    I’ve experienced this. It’s actually nauseating because the screen keeps shaking incessantly. Clicking things becomes difficult or even impossible.

    Hi team,

    Another event, another champ spawn -- which is awesome! What's not so awesome is the screen shaking from folks spamming earthquake. I understand you can get around this by turning off all effects, but is there any chance we could get this effect replaced with something more subtle?

    The shake is really hard on my older eyes.  Stopped doing the void because of it.  Think I read in another discussion with the same complaint that there is a way to turn it off.  I can take it for awhile before I start getting confused and disoriented if there is to much of it.

    Is there not an option to disable camera shake? I would assume so, every other game in the past two decades has either had this option built in by default or has quickly added it.

    1 point to classic client.

    here

    google search to find that:
    filter ec earthquake site:forum.uo.com

    that's as close as you can get currently, but there should be a way to turn off just EQ.

    Thanks, team, for commenting on this issue via the latest newsletter and for prioritizing it! I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that this feedback goes all the way back to 2009: https://community.stratics.com/threads/earthquake-screen-shaking-makes-game-unplayable.162743/

    One player in that thread even suggested that "whoever thought it was 'kewl' to put this into the client should be strapped up in public where we can all beat them with smelly socks." Oh no! Perhaps the statute of limitations has worn out, and it's now safe to update without fear of pungent assault!

    Happy to provide more examples or demonstrate the issue further.
