[Accessibility Request] Option to Disable/Reduce UI Glow Effects

Hi everyone,

I really enjoyed the open beta and wanted to share some accessibility feedback that could help players with certain visual conditions.

The Issue: I have contrast sensitivity dysfunction, a visual condition that makes it difficult to distinguish objects from their backgrounds when there's insufficient contrast between them. People with this condition often see the world as somewhat "washed out" or hazy, similar to looking through a light fog. Fine details blend together, and edges between objects become less defined, making it challenging to identify where one element ends and another begins.

To compensate, many of us need to use high contrast and high color vibrance settings on our monitors to make visual elements more distinguishable.

The Problem in Game: Several UI icons feature glow effects that become extremely amplified when monitor vibrance is increased. This causes the icons to appear much larger and blurrier than intended, making them difficult to read and sometimes obscuring important information. The attached screenshot demonstrates how these effects can overwhelm the actual icon content.

Proposed Solution: An accessibility option in the settings menu to disable or reduce glow effects on UI elements would be incredibly helpful. This would allow players with contrast sensitivity issues (and potentially other visual impairments) to enjoy the game without being hindered by visual accessibility barriers.

This type of accessibility feature benefits not just players with diagnosed conditions, but also those gaming in bright environments, using older monitors, or anyone who prefers cleaner UI elements.

Thanks for considering this feedback - accessibility options make gaming more inclusive for everyone!
