Do people even like optic blur?

[Andbrew]

The one I have in mind is when you use magnified optics, the blur outside of them while ADS'ing.
I feel like optics in Sandstorm due to poor performance, sensitivity issues and lover FOV while ads'ing, along with the blur I'm talking about are generally UP, which is dumb in a game with larger maps.
What does the community think abotu actually removing the blur and perhaps increasign the FOV of the scopes (the picture you see while aiming, not the zoom) to enchance their use and make them actually somewhat useful?

I find no issue with the blurr effect while using ADS or scoped.
Have you looked through a set of real sights? It's the same thing.

Never enable it.

It simulates vision.

I hate the blur in this game, My eyes already naturally blur the areas i'm not focusing on and when i want to look at something to the sides of the scope it sucks to look at.

It's not an option, it's always there.

Well, everyone's eyes do already, that's why I find this blur retarded as ever.
What's the point of doing the blur if you can focus on one thing at the time already?

You can't have all around good sensitivity with PiP scope option, because it will be either too low and you won't be able to control the reoil or it will be too high and your accuracy will suffer greatly.

I'm completely fine with it. However, I'm not entirely opposed to either removing or keeping it.

Hope the devs would add the option to remove blur one day. Insurgency 2014 only has slightly ADS blur on the edge when pressing focus key.(Which is much better and more realistic than Sandstorm IMO)

No, it does not. I have a real Bushnell 1-4x scope and I can still see the view out side the scope quite clearly when I using it at 4x(even if I choose to use one eye only instead of opening both eyes).

I like the Optic Blur ,it is a nice differentiation from Insurgency 2014 (which doesn't have it) and I also play.

focus at the target and you can't.

Yes, that is why I stated that Insurgency 2014 done it better. When you want to focus on your target your ability to scan peripheral is decrease, but if you just draw your gun your peripheral won't be blurry out. And this phenomenon apply to non magnified optics, even iron sights.

Also as VoltHound says, my eyes & brain already decide what to focus on. If I'm tracking a long range target in the game, my sensitivity of detecting objecting outside my sights is decreased.

All in all even though this is not a game breaking issue(compared to something like the non-realistic recoil problem in ImTimK's thread), it would be nice if the devs could give us option to turn of or at least tune down the blur effect.
