Beacon of Kahless

Could the developers PLEASE revisit the concept behind the visual effect here?

I mean... a supposedly "friendly" and "helpful" power... which when used creates a BLINDING WHITE SCREEN for several seconds... not just for the user but for their teammates as well?

I get the concept, but could we please either tone it down, and/or make it affect the user only?

    I agree. This causes undue physical harm to the players. In my case: eye pain, headaches and migraines.

    There is some way you can change your game play settings to a point where the beacon doesn't make your screen flash.
    Try setting visual fx settings to medium and turning post processing effects off. I'm not sure that is how but i think it is.

    This is a feature designed to attack the trust fund baby. Intense periods of light from kahless make them go crazy and throw money in every direction and this feature is needed so that STO can keep running.

    I've said plenty of times that the white flash thing must be removed. It serves no purpose whatsoever.

    Yes this really bothers (like the one above I see no benefit in having this effect in a "blinding" way) and I hope it will be changed

    FX spam needs calming down all over. Very often I am trying to fly around/target stuff and all I have is a white screen from the science abilities visuals. Really annoying, I'd like the option to either turn it off totally or tone it down.

    Could do what I do, Turn lighting 2.0 and post processing effects off and the beacon is not an issue.
