Cvmoote Posted yesterday at 08:51 PM Share Posted yesterday at 08:51 PM For some backstory, I have a pretty complex medical history involving my brain and my eyes. I am heavily prone to motion sickness and migraines/headaches because of this and often times in most games I have to extensively look in the settings to turn off features that cause these symptoms for me. IE often times Motion Blur, Head Bob, Screen Shake, any weird grainy filters and stuff like that, it's quite a hassle considering I already play with a basically orange monitor on max nightlight mode since my eyes are so sensitive to light. For DST there are quite a few things that have caused these issues for me over the years I've played it and thankfully a few of the in game settings helped with it, but some others I had to download steam mods just to turn off certain features that I really truly think should be an in game option for all players, esp since players on consoles don't have access to it and I have played DST on both the PS4 and Switch. For example the in game settings that helped were turning screen shake to off, that really helped a lot. However some other features that give me these issues that aren't all in the settings are things like Sanity Distortion/Shadow Filter, the Moon Storm Event despite having the required headgear on the grainy filter that remains continues to give me a headache, same with the Sandstorm in the Oasis despite having desert goggles on which happens to be my biggest nuisance since I almost always base in the oasis to avoid wildfires (another reason I've been pushing for the Ice Crystaleyezer buffs), and lastly the Lunacy filter. Something about the lunacy filters and the things like the Nightberry filter give me the worst headache that generally leads to worse migraines. I am not sure if it's the filter + the sound that they make, like the ringing from lunacy or the heartbeat sound from the nightberry of if it's just the blue filter itself but either way there is no options in game for any of these things to turn off and help players like me who are prone to having health issues from these kinds of things. Which is unfortunate with the new WARBOT boss drop that basically wants you to have perma lunacy so you can benefit from the no sanity and infinite gestalts while fighting. It would be really nice to have options to turn this stuff off base game instead of having them locked behind mods so other platforms could benefit from these changes. I think for things like the moonstorm event/oasis it makes sense balance wise to keep the storms there, but having some option to turn it off once you have the proper headgear on so there isn't a grainy feature still showing would be great. Only issue I could think of on this though is that it's hard to tell if you are then inside the sandstorm/moonstorm or not so there would need to be some indicator that maybe shows the outline of the storms if you turn off the filter.
