Please add an option to disable ALL screenshakes. Blast Bomb and relatives, lightning strikes, Unknown Passage wobbling, and wherever else the screen is not centered on my character at any and all time.

I get a headache from screenshakes, a Real Life real pain in my head centered on the eyes. It's not a figure of speech.

I ask people I play with not to use Blast Bomb and relatives, I stay away from strangers using them (like in Lockdown), and avert/close my eyes if at all possible to evade screenshakes I can't stay away from. That's not a permanent solution of course. And I'm worried that maybe more will be added.

Thank you.

I love my bombs, but sometimes this can get quite annoying.

Unkown passage is good, rest could be annoying.

You are experiencing a PICNIC ERROR!

Dare I suggest it? ...

It might be possible to remove the .dat file related to them if they give you medical problems. Though....it would take some snooping and you would risk a ban. I'm not sure...

But yes! Please allow us to toggle it! Maybe instead have the shake redirect to the HUD? (Okay maybe impossible...)

(This reminds me of Elsword Online. Despite the fact that I've never been diagnosed with any sort of eye-related illness, the screen flashes in said game give me a headache. Thank goodness I can turn them off!)

Thank you all for all the +.

Bombs are what I use most, myself. It's sad when I ask a friend to not use his Nitronome when he'd have much fun with it. Maybe I'd have fun with it too, without the shake.

Yeah, I guess I could live with the wobbling, closing my eyes until party button. ;P I honestly don't know if it stays once the fighting begins, and I'm not down there all that often.

Autofire wrote the post right above, so no need to quote it.

I would not want to do something that risks a ban. If one of the gods (aka GM) says it's ok to mess with file in for just this case, I'd follow instructions precisely, otherwise: no way. :)

I think a blast of an overlaid part transparent graphic would be fine (as opposed to something else shaking that's normally fixed). I'm not bothered at all by, for example, Dark Briar Barrage.

I'm not diagnosed with eye-related illness either, don't even need glasses anymore, apparently. No doctor could find any physial cause for my headaches yet; all the more reason to try to evade the known triggers. :)

I am unable to play first person games though, the viewpoint makes me dizzy-sick. Maybe that's related.
