City of Heroes makes people ill

Players of NCSoft's MMOG, City of Heroes, have lately been complaining about some nasty side-effects, and we're not talking about RSI or some aggressivity...

According to GameRifts, gamers are having a headache that resembles migraine, not something funny:

think the flicker rate, level of color (or lack of) and the direction of its spin - PLUS - monitor and graphics card issues.... They all add up to a very disturbing graphic. I already spoke to someone in here about their epilepsy problems being spiked because of that particular graphic, in the Test server before it even went live.
The moment I saw it, I started to get a severe headache - so bad that I wondered if I wasn't growing a tumor or having a huge migrane.
The nausea begins if you keep looking at the darn thing. Especially if there are more than one on screen at the same time, that's so ... queasy...

Bad guy this time is the enhanced, visual portraying of the "Sonic Powers Buff" since the last patch.

For now, the only official reaction is that the problem will be fixed in the next update... which may take several months before release...
