Some abilities causes screen shake. Please make this a option in Shadowlands

Community General Discussion

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.

Man, that’s barely noticeable…

But if it makes a certain portion of the players physically nauseous, I don’t see any good reason for not making the screen wobble optional.

Edit: Added the word I missed, that made my entire comment the opposite of what I meant.

You can speak for yourself now, this has been brought up many times and some people, due to specific pathologies, just can’t do with it. Did you even read what he wrote ?

If memory serves Blizzard has reacted to this some time ago. Didn’t follow up but I seem to remember they spoke of adding an option in order to disable that screen shake.

But wasn’t there a thread similar to this one already ? I feel like I’ve already read a copy/pasta of this, perhaps from the same OP.

Apologies, missed a word in my original comment.

Oh, makes more sense… I did find the rest of your reply to be quite strange, and seemingly in contradiction with the beginning of it.
