Settings - Add a "Turn off theme gem" setting

Azerack

As much as I like the idea of the frosty gems, they are tough to play with AND have energized gems.
The last time I saw a game with "theme" or "effect" gems, there was a setting/option to turn that off so you had the original gem presentation.

I am guessing you are getting into theme gems, so while you're at it, please add this setting so we don't have to see it all the time and/or some people with visibility impairments can avoid any interference with their games.

Thanks in advance!

I just did the Torrential Gearhulk fight with the current graphics settings on my phone. It's not the best phone in the world, but it's current enough that the gem graphics shouldn't be completely lagging out my phone.

I found a MAJOR ISSUE with combination of the theme, energized gems and the fabricate servo supports.
It took me at least twice as long as it should have to run the fight because of the graphical load all the different elements were placing on my phone.

At one point, torrential confiscated my 20+ It that Rides as one. I was severly concerned that my game had crashed as it was repeating the same popcorn/zig zag animation over and over. Turns out, it was just trying to process the 10+ fabricate buff triggers that were now stacked up.

Something needs to be done about the graphical load on this game. Steps 1, 2 and 3 should be as follows:
1) Make the energy gem indicator a static overlay
2) Change the Servo Support to a single support with +X/+X, where X = the number of shields on the support
3) Option to turn off theme settings

I'm going to go respot this in the GD gem thread now.

Ohboy

1) excellent suggestion!

2) that would totally change the mechanic. Just make the buff cast simultaneously.

3) oh please oh please oh please lol
