It does less than /noparticles 1, which is sometimes an advantage.

Good advice, Andreah.

Running around with /noparticles 1, I discovered that some critters and some effects are pure particles.

(Which is against the game guidelines as stated, and also very confusing until you figure it out!)

In my experience, unless you are able and willing to force someone else against their will into conforming to you

 

Another reason to lead teams.

You lead teams, you get the boot.

Others may not like it but if someone is misbehaving or ruining your gaming experience you can ask them to leave as team leader or give the the boot.

 

If you are on a task force, this should be used very sparingly, but on a door mission team?

Yeah, sure. You can pick and choose who you play with. 

"I'm sorry, but your FX are to busy for me. I'm running a team with less FX going on. If you want to use a costume slot to tone it down a bit, you can stay on the team. Otherwise, it is time for you to look for another team."

 

But there is also the way that I have posted to turn most of the FX off.

But, yeah, I like seeing my FX to, and it is a shame when I have to turn off the FX because one or more other players are turning the screen into an epileptic seizure inducing light show or a blinding ball of white.

Now I'm imagining an entire team of mimes just waving their hands at the enemy.   Dual Finger Pistols.  Invisible Wall Armor.

Yes, you are in the wrong and a hypocrite.

 

You demanded someone else have a worse experience because yours takes priority.  This is exactly what you were complaining about.

Am i in the wrong here ?

 

Honestly, since you asked, my opinion is, Yes.  You're in the wrong.  If your screen is filled with a teammate, just turn/adjust the direction your facing.

No.

 

If you can't see the enemies then how are you expected to be able to play the game?

 

Hover doesn't give anyone 45% Defense, I don't believe that anyone can even have 45% Defense at such a low level and, if there's a Tank on the team it isn't needed anyway.

 

You're not in the wrong, your request was completely reasonable, and you should have kicked them from your team and then informed the rest of the team that you kicked them and why.

 

thnik you can get a SR tanker to 45% on Posi 2 

You wouldn't need hover though

Just to clarifiy

Hover is not just the FX here.

There is a secondry VERY bright yellow effect also on the feet.

2 People are doing it in Bagel so there is no "turn your camera to see" you are locked into a tunnel.

 

Lower my settings to potatoe mode to accomodate someone elses selfishness dosn't sound great to me.

If there was a setting to remove everyone elses effects in the game i would be using that 100%.

 

The 2 in question were not melee in any way.

1 was a controller the other i am unsure.

But squishy ..blaster or corr.

 

I'm not going to post chat logs or screenshots because i'm not going to be that person.

Late to the party here, but while it's been commented that the Hoverer in question couldn't really produce eye-melting graphics just off of Hover alone, combined with a retina-blistering Aura or Path Aura (or both) maybe it would be achieved.

 

My problem with /noparticles 1 is that so many powers are only composed of particles and you wouldn't see them.  @Andreah's low-particle-count solution is better, and similar low-FX macros can be created IIRC.
