Invisible Camera Effect, anyone?
Posted: Fri Dec 02, 2016 3:51 am
This is going to be a bit of a stretch (I feel like I'm writing that on all my posts lately, dang) but for those of you who have Alted more than maybe I have, do you remember if you ever came across the mage invisibilty camera effect, either during your artifact questline or later, in the actual class/order hall stuff at 110 (through to the class-specific title and third relic slot)?
I've been leveling up characters pretty consistently since I've been looking for a new main, but I ran into a problem on my shadow priest—avoiding spoilers as best as possible, part of the questline once you hit 110 has you navigate an area looking for something while your camera is doing that blurry, everything-splits-apart-and-moves thing like you see when you go invisible as a mage, or on the last boss of Arcway, or (as I discovered to my stomach's dismay this afternoon) standing in corruption on Il'gynoth. This is the effect I'm talking about, though it's way worse in motion than still: spoiler version, non-spoiler version.
That's the only time I've run across it in the artifact/class questlines so far, but I've only done maybe 30-40% of the available class-specific stuff, artifact and order hall both. I'm SUPER nervous about coming up on it unprepared—not that being prepared for it makes me less nauseous (I'm just as likely to need a prolonged bathroom break regardless), but I ran into my priest's like, three hours before my raid and I still wasn't recovered by the time it was time to start killing things (and I ultimately had to step out early and go lie down some more), so at least knowing it's gonna happen lets me schedule my nausea for the end of my day and not right at the start/in the middle :(
So far, this is what I know:
INCLUDES BAD VISUALS:
- Priest (110)
IS SAFE, VISUALLY (at least for my personal nausea problems)
- Hunter
- Druid
- Shaman
- Demon Hunter artifacts (Havoc+Vengeance)
- Paladin artifacts (Ret, Prot, Holy)
- Warrior artifacts (Fury, Prot, Arms)
- Fire mage artifact
- Unholy death knight artifact
- Frost death knight artifact
- Windwalker monk artifact
- Affliction warlock artifact
- Assassination rogue artifact
MAY OR MAY NOT BE OKAY IDK YET?
- Demon Hunter (110)
- Paladin (110)
- Warrior (110)
- Outlaw and Subtlety artifacts and rogue 110
- Demonology and Destruction artifacts and warlock 110
- Arcane and Frost artifacts and mage 110
- Blood artifact and DK 110
- Brewmaster and Mistweaver artifacts and monk 110
I think warlock, mage, and brewmaster are the ones most likely to invoke that camera effect again (which is a shame because lock and mage are the only ranged classes I have left to try for new mainage, lol :\) but I wasn't really expecting to see it in the priest quest at all. Now that I have seen it there, it sort of opens it up to "well, anything that might be kind of magicky might do it, so..." :(
(to be fair, Brewmaster is more likely to use the blurry "I'm drunk" effect that ALSO makes me sick, but to a SIGNIFICANTLY lesser degree. It's the "everything is flipping around everywhere" that gets me the most, to be honest.)
