Accessibility - Ability to reduce or turn off bloom

Let me open by saying I love the atmosphere and ambiance of the various regions. However, in some areas, the amount of bloom can be overpowering to the senses, to the point of triggering migraines. I think adding the ability to reduce or disable bloom is an opportunity to further improve New World’s accessibility options.

As a more concrete example, just today I finished up my time in the Fens and was excited to begin exploring Restless Shore - especially since I heard the lore there continued the tale of the Heretic. However, as I ventured into the area with a friend, I quickly found that I was unable to remain there for any length of time, due to the bright whiteout effect (samples below) which was causing me to get pre-migraine aches. I would truly love to be able to explore this area, in the future, and I appreciate the devs and community managers for taking the time to read this.

Damn, that actually looks amazing.

But yeah I guess there’s no harm in adding the option to disable it

i have to agree with this i love the game. However it can be downright blinding. i have been playing this game for 50 hours now and the headaches are worse then my first foray into vr with the wrong dpi settings. just yesterday, i made the comment “you know I’m half blind when the sun is over the horizon”

id like to apologize for bad spelling. my pc refuses to spellcheck in English so almost every word is red haha.
