Wow, those poll options are totally neutrally phrased!š¤£ (Though very, very true - not a complaint!)

They really need an option to turn the animations off.
On a good day, they donāt bother me. On a bad health day, itās way too much.

The animations donāt bother me that much, but Iād like the ability to turn them off just so I can see the troops more clearly. Right now I play at 4x except for Guild Wars at 1.5x. I would probably do the same for the particle effects: off for Guild Wars, on the rest of the time.

Do you mean all animations or just the new particle effects? @en9nhcet
The question is ambiguous and badly-phrased. I donāt ever want to lose the spell animations, mana collection and so on.
Agree we could lose (or at least tone down) the flashy fizzspark particle effects everywhere.
I voted ānoā. I will change my vote to āyesā if you clarify that itās only the new bling effects you meanā¦

I agree the question is ambiguous; I donāt wanna lose spell effects or the gems moving, either.
Basically, what I voted for (I hope) was āturn back status effects and remove particles so that everything is like it was three days ago before the newest updateā.

I like the new graphic effects but I think they should be optional.

Nice biased poll, I said no just to spite it.
That and m eyes arenāt terrible and I can actually handle a little bit of colour seeing as Iāve been playing games and watching films for the better part of twenty years and this is nothing compared to some other titles.

All the talk about this reminded me of the Simpsons visit to Japan:

I think the OP is trying to be funny with such poll, but aside from spite i think we can agree that having AN OPTION to turn off the animations and effects will never be detritemental to any game. It just makes said game more inclusive as more people will be able to enjoy it making some adjustments.

They need options to individually turn off _each_ of the animation options. Though given the option to play with _all_ animation on, or _all_ animations off, Iād probably choose all off at this point.

I hope so some effects make it difficult to see the card, burning for one and other effects are barely visible so you canāt tell. The previous version was much preferred.

This is EXACTLY what came to mind for me as well. Gems of War started out as a Fantasy style match-3 then went to a Sci-Fi UI and now weāre doing anime apparently. I wonder what the next update will bringā¦?
