Remove or Restrict "Bioluminescent" From The Game

Community General Discussion

I’m hoping that I’m not the only one that has problems with this in-game toy.

There was a similar situation a few years back with the Mountain Dew promotional toy light effects that caused seizures and eye irritation that was eventually patched and the strobe light effect no longer does damage like that.

But the Bioluminescent effect that a Toy from BFA gives causes not only myself, but a lot of others sight seeing problems, and this toy is mostly used in areas where roleplayers like to flock to, at least to my personal experiences.

I’d like to ask that this toy at least be restricted to BFA only areas, or at least the light being toned down a tad, or at the last resort removed from the game entirely. Its used too much to harass and interrupt people just wanting to roleplay.

I couldn’t say I have problems. I play without a monitor.

Not a troll at all, if you are a roleplayer on WRA or on MG you’d know that the lighting is a big problem for a lot of people.

Sounds like something that could be easily toggled in the accessibility settings.

And i’m not saying it should be removed, it should be patched to not cause a big blinding light, and the MTN dew pet is an example of them fixing the light problem.

My solution is to only make toys visible to people that you are grouped with.

This completely removes trolling RPers with toys.

this was already nerfed, the light it emits is hardly brilliant. I just put it on my druid and I can barely see it.

adjust your monitor settings rather than ask millions of people to lose something fun.

They should add a settings in the video section, that way it will be fixed on the players side and everyone else can see it as intended.

Can you not adjust your monitor for stuff like that?

that would require you to be grouped just to use certain toys, thus limiting my freedom as a player in the world

horrible idea imo, and it takes the immersion that some of these toys create directly out of the world.

Your freedom to annoy others? Cope.

“Muh immersion” falls apart when I look at your server: Saithis-shandris.

You’re not a roleplayer, or even on a RP server. This means that you don’t care about immersion, if you did you wouldn’t be playing on a server where a name like xxsephirothxx is acceptable.

You have a blindfold on. I don’t see the problem.

That’s also true.

I wonder if this is different for people who don’t have certain shaders disabled and/or have high graphics settings.

I have an addon that turns off some shader settings that make white colors almost glow in game.

maybe. my graphics settings are on 8 and whatever settings get changed when you set to 8, I haven’t changed any manually

It can be stacked on one NPC, and it definitely causes more issues the more it is stacked indoors. Tired of people that don’t know it can be stacked and going “Nuh uh, see I used it once on my character outdoors and didn’t stack it! No problems detected!”

Not without making everything else basically unable to be seen.
Some other threads on it:

From what I was able to find online:

It gets brighter, and more annoying the more people use it. They can stack specific colors to get the ‘intended effect’ they want. They can fix it by adjusting the scaling indoors, or make it not ‘stackable’ or reducing the amount of stacks allowed.

Horrid solution. I love turning into a Naz Honor Guard and /walking in front of randoms. So so much fun and unique interactions would be removed from the game to fix a tiny issue that few people are having. There are alternative solutions that don’t ruin fun though, I’m sure? You bring dishonour to yourself and your family even suggesting this xoxo

Using the rainbow toy in tandem with my BF to create rainbow chains in cities is pretty dope too. Just… no.
