Hi. Since I don't expect Bioware to change it anytime soon (hopefully I'm wrong, but I'm not holding my breath), does anybody know if there's a way to remove or lessen it? I've pretty much given up on playing any krogan just because of how Rage looks and how my eyes hurt after a match or two playing one. Sure, I could always spec differently and play a Rage-less krogan, but that sucks and then I may as well play something else. So, any workaround for this?

Sadly, you've already found the only workaround: don't play a Krogan.
What's sad is that Bioware claims to have playtested the MP extensively and I found the Blood Rage to be headache inducing from just watching a stream of it being played. At least it's the only visual overlay at this point but given Bioware's past decisions, I doubt it will be the last.

At least it's the only visual overlay at this point but given Bioware's past decisions, I doubt it will be the last. Games are historically bad about taking quality of life into account in terms of certain design stuff, but both ME3MP and MEAMP are like masterclasses in thoughtless decisions for player comfort. I'd lump low damage semi-auto weapons into that same category, because there are players who range from finding that kind of weapon annoying or discomforting, up to those who physically can't do it (often due to repetitive stress injuries, which is exactly the problem with that weapon design!). On Krogan Rage, I'd settle for getting rid of the blue flash (second time today I've complained about it on here). My eyes can adjust to one overlay, but the sudden switch to blue flashing really messes me up.

Well, at least is not as bad as it was in ME3 (they got something half-right at least). Still, it can be annoying I agree.
I remember this streamer (not sure about his name) doing MP prior to launch, he got the game earlier due to "press release" and he even played with devs. He asked one of them if there was a way to remove the rage effect or lessen it, but the dev answers in that typical vague way like "we may look into it".
I wouldn't hold my breath on it.

Official patches aside, I was mostly wondering if there's something we could do locally in the meantime, like editing or removing some file, or disabling the effect with the console or whatever. I'm not knowledgeable about these things so I've no idea if that's possible at all.

Yeah I agree with you. Bioware got all jazzed up about how thin and spiky they could make the rage lines in the new engine. In all likelihood though it was probably a work around for the color palette differences between firebases -- to avoid the blindness issues we have on firebase white. They could still tone it down a bit.

If they do add Geth/hunter mode like power at some point, I'm not looking forward to how that will strain the eye.

THE MIGRAINE MAKES YOU FEEL LIKE A REAL KROGAN
THAT IS DESIGN MOTHERUFCKIN POETRY RIGHT THERE BITCHES
Considering the last time this came up Chris Priestly literally told the entire thread to go fuck themselves, best of luck getting this across to anyone who gives a shit. At least with Hunter Mode you could replace the noise texture with a white map, that won't be the case here.

It looks really great, I love it. Not as good as me3mp's rage, but she'll do. She'll do just fine.

You should have seen the response when we brought that up during ME3 MP. Might be time to play something else

Rage is being looked at to reduce the intensity of the visuals. Not sure if this will be live tomorrow or not but its definitely being looked into.

Not saying I don't believe you, but I haven't heard about that anywhere else, and judging by the rest of the posts, I'm not the only one.

Good news, it looks like they did tone down the effect with the new patch. We still get the silly veins (blue ones included at the end), but they're significantly less invasive and bright. I'll have to test it some more, but maybe krogan will be playable now. Maybe.

Oh quit being pussies. It's not that bad. I actually quite like it, certainly better than me3's. It lets u know when it's about to run out, and it looks metal af.
I'm really glad they added a field of view modifier on pc, I played that first night without changing it. Now, I don't know how ppl play on the default setting. That shiz gave me a migraine

Did... did they revert it? Played a krogan today and the veins looked once again pretty epileptic to me all of a sudden.

I can barely tell it's even on the way it is now. That's the thing, at times I found it hard to tell after they toned it down (still preferable since it let me play a krogan in the first place), but it's not like that anymore. I just double checked to make sure I wasn't drunk or anything yesterday: The veins do look bigger once again, and they stay on all the time, yet there's been no new patch AFAIK, so... WTF? Has anyone else noticed this?

In fact I'm annoyed it's so subtle now compared to the previous version and ME3. When Rage Mode Activated, you knew it and you felt it, now I gotta squint to see if it's on or not.
