Screen shake on certain abilites since Legion (Causing nausea) With videos and others complaining

Hello.

Ever since Legion the screen has been shaking very subtle - It’s not noticed until it’s noticed really.
Since there is no command known to stop this or a option to disable it I decided to create this thread so make it go away.

Me and others have nausea while playing games and this does give me nausea unfortunately even if it its subtle, its noticable.
I’ve tried writing on forums and i’ve seen others write as well, I’ve put in a ticket, no action cam or addons has been tested and sent in a bug report, but nothing since Legion.

I want this to be an option in Shadowlands - it causes me not to play certain classes/specs.

Forum posts:

Bluepost: I can confirm that this is intended. It was changed in legion with some of the new camera functions we added then. Happens on my melee classes as well. You’ll want to go to the #guides:ui-macro forums to see if anybody knows if a console variable or LUA script can disable them, otherwise you can leave feedback in #community:general-discussion.

Other abilites causing this: Crusader’s Strike, Templar’s Verdict, Mortal Strike, Slam, Earthquake (When it crits), Earth shock, melee crit, Rock Biter, Lava Lash, Stormstrike.
Probably a lot more but these I remember now.

Should definitely be toggleable.

I didn’t notice it at first, but I was playing pre-animation update feral and mage, who doesn’t have it.

This seems very annoying. Makes it harder to click frames and really adds nothing to the experience. And while I don’t suffer the nausea myself, I think that’s something which should be respected.

Animators also made animations play before the server has given confirmation - and sound effects play along with it.

This is very distracting as well.

I need my animations to give me updates on what’s happening around me and to give feedback for what I am doing and what is happening to me. And it’s not doing that.

WoW’s animations have been regressing for the last 4 years. I hate what they’re doing to them.

You have my support OP :slight_smile:
