I would like an option to be able turn off or reduce the graphical effects of spells like Dancing ball, clouds, blur/displace affects around characters and other stuff. I think/hope this would lower memory, cpu and gpu processing. We can already adjust many things in the options, but none of it affects spell graphics.

Agree with the thread but this confuses me... how does the mabar cloak effect 'lag' you? It just turns u invisible(With a couple bats but nothing so bad as the silly blinding effect of the dancing ball/fogs/etc when they are 'friendly' effects.)

I'm not a computer guy, so I don't know how it does, but it abso-poso-lutely does. Could be the bats, or the noise, I have no idea.

/signed, just so I can SEE
There have been times, especially in tight dungeons, where I couldn't see through all the displacement/blur/bard song notes to actually fight!
UDR Loot Rules:
1) No griefing people for pulling loot that dropped in their name
2) When rolling, classes for which the item is "useful" get +10 to the roll
example: Wiz and Barb both roll on a Torc, the barb saying "I'm TRing into an arcane next week"
Wiz gets +10 on his roll
