The total lack of contrasting colors is a mistake in level design IMHO.

The structure of the design is not bad though, I love the micro terrain too.

Perhaps make the lighter purple lighter, the dark purple darker, and make the crystals more grey, that way the purple theme is retained, but there is more contrast.

I wonder if it would help if the map was set in daylight instead.

Ditto with the cataract surgery, just 4/7 weeks into recovery for both eyes. Colour scheme on the new map is debilitating to say the least and the forum change is causing blue on black text floating. There are some excellent colour mapping/accessibility sites PGI should use before dumping crud like this

Not many video games out there have adherents talking about their cataract surgery.

Now where did I put my cane?

[mytilus edulis]

Hasn't changed with the updates.

Unfortunately I also can't play this map, despite liking it at first, exploring it in testing grounds.

The more I play it (I really wanted to like it), the more I realize I have some kind of "visually overwhelmed blockage" going on with this map. There is just way too much to this map and my brain ends up shutting most of it out completely, which gives me a headache trying to play it, and also results in me getting my *** kicked by enemies that I half-blindly stumble right into without seeing...sometimes I'm even walking right into structure or obstacles on the map and not understanding why I'm not moving, as my depth perception is crippled.

So if you see my mech acting drunk, or just sitting in the DZ, sorry fellas - it's not on purpose.

Funny, but not completely inaccurate, considering player demographics.

I'd give up the game's night vision mode for a "visual clutter removal mode" in a heartbeat!

[MTier Slayed Up]

If night vision actually acted off heat sources, it'd function a lot better on maps such as frozen city.

[PocketYoda]

Its way better now after the map upgrades for me..

If it were actually dark, and artificial lighting wasn't exaggerated this much, you wouldn't have any of these complaints.

[Strelok7]

Bump. In support of the players who are suffering.
How are your symptoms on Grim Plexus?


PS. Revert the map changes while you are fixing the color contrast, as well. It is boring and unplayable.

Grim is OK for me. I ran screenshots by people on a migraine forum, and they all agreed it triggered symptoms, whereas hellebore (with similar assets) did not.

[Ensaine]

Over abundance of purple in this map sucks. Need some contrast.

I actually haven't played more then 5-6 matches since this map dropped, as everyone was picking it, it was hard to avoid.

Map overall is fine, but the color bomb just makes me wanna puke.

[BLACKR0SE]

I don't understand this. Why don't we use a real desert or a real crater on the moon as a map in games? I really love real deserts, they are very beautiful in terms of landscape.

Why doesn't the person designing the map use a postcard of a landscape as a reference for these maps?

[BLACKR0SE]

I'm looking at the maps designed for MW5 and they are truly amazing. I'm not asking for too much, just show one percent of the effort put into MW5 and that would be enough

Hellebore Outpost - ye that one is pleasant. I call it the lavender map.

Do any of you also get symptoms from the new map preview images?



Do you find CS2 map screenshots also trigger symptoms?

What about upgrading your PC?

Trying to play MWO with 15 FPS is not a good idea.

I'm on a completely new computer and still get the same symptoms even at 140 fps in the testing grounds.
