[2021] New Zone needs seizure warning

Hi @Dolphinsgal. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We are passing on your experience to the Dev team to see what can be done on the accessibility front.

As @Adremal noted, we do have a photosensitive warning outlined in the Terms of Service. That has been outlined below just as a reference point. But we will take player feedback here to the dev team about the visibility of the warning and how it could be improved.

PHOTOSENSITIVITY WARNING. A very small percentage of individuals may experience epileptic seizures or blackouts when exposed to certain visual images, including without limitation light patterns or flashing lights. Exposure to certain patterns or backgrounds on a computer, television or other screen, or while playing video games, may induce epileptic seizures or blackouts in these individuals. These conditions may induce previously undetected epileptic symptoms, blackouts, or seizures in persons who have no history of prior seizures or epilepsy. If You, anyone in Your family, or anyone in Your household, have an epileptic condition, have had seizures of any kind, or seizure symptoms, consult a doctor prior to using the Services or playing any Game. If You experience any of the following symptoms while playing any Game, immediately discontinue use and consult Your physician before resuming play : dizziness, altered vision, eye or muscle twitches, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, loss of awareness, disorientation, confusion, any involuntary movement, or convulsions.

Hi Everyone. Thank you again for your feedback regarding photosensitivity concerns with the Deadlands zone and the impact on players. In response to some player feedback around photosensitivity issues in the Deadlands, we have reduced the frequency and timing of some lightning hazards in Annihilarch's Summit. We will continue to investigate ways to improve this experience and ensure the safety of those who are potentially sensitive to these visual effects.

In the short-term, we would also like to share some in-game adjustment options for visual effects in ESO that may help improve your experience.
[list]
[*] Adjust your gamma settings while in the area.
[*] Keep your camera zoomed as far out as possible to reduce the likelihood of a bright flash taking up much of your screen.
[*] Change your visual telegraphs coloration so you can better see where the lightning hazards are going to strike.

In addition to these short-term adjustments, we are working to address long-term additions to make ESO more accessible for players with photosensitivity. As noted previously, we will continue to pass on your feedback to the dev team to aid in this process.

Thank you again for your feedback and helping to make ESO a better game for all to play.
