Ok.... guess I'm the only one who has an issue with 1000 multi-colored flashbulbs constantly going off in his face. 
The problem was bad before power customization... now, you can barely see what you're fighting most of the time.

Totally agree
Even just being able to
Display Team Buffs - Y/N
Display League Buffs - Y/N
Display Incarnate Effects Y/N
or None, Low, Med, Full would be great
That would cut out a lot of the visual chaff. Even just on full teams, half the time I can barely see what I'm doing. Especially, the dark maps that seem so in style now.

This sounds like what you can already do by turning down your Max Particle Count slider in the options menu.
Issue 16 made me feel like this.

graphical effects. For example, when playing a squishie I dont want to be the one leading off with my incarnate nuke. I want to be able to tone down targeted AE effects, but not turn them off completely.
On the other hand, when playing my Fire/Rad, I kind of like seeing the hotfeet effect around my toon - you lose the effect when turning down max particle count.
The biggest issue I have is when playing melee on these trials, I am literally in the middle of all of the effects - it's pure sensory overload. I still have no clue what Black Swan looks like, never have seen much of her.

Often, when playing on trials or TFs, I'll find myself having to look away from the screen - the hodgepodge of graphical effects from 16+ players is just too much for my eyes to handle. I'll find myself getting headaches and/or dizziness after long play sessions. I'm aware you can turn down graphical effects globally, but I do want to have some feedback on what I am doing,
especially with holds when playing a troller.
The majority of the offending graphical effects are probably from offensive powers, although some are probably PBAE heals, buffs, and so on.
What I would like is a settings page listing every power in the game and three settings for Self vs Others:
1. Full Display
2. Low Display ( you can see the effect, but it has been significantly toned down )
3. No Display
This would allow me to pick and choose which I want to see and which I dont.
Alternatively, If this is too much to implement, just have global settings for all powers for Full, Low, and No Display. ( still needs to be separated for Self vs Others )
