It feels like months now since this was first introduced and I can't remember which patch it was, but for some reason the devs decided that your screen should flash red (the same flash you get when taking damage) when you successful block someone with a sword in a sword duel. This makes it very confusing and hard to tell if you are actually blocking your opponent or not forcing us to stare at our health bar more. It also practically blinds you like there is literally blood in your eyes. Successfully blocking a sword swipe shouldn't punish you. Lets please join together and get this blood out our eyes!
Screen flashing red while blocking with a sword.

@rokm-sokm-rabbi what would you suggest? Sincere question
perhaps a white, silver, or black flash when you successfully block (I instantly thought white or silver to mimic the sparks of swords clashing) vs. the tell-tale red when you get hit by anything

@bactatankbill Would you be fine with nothing other than audio and some visual of your sword blocking?
Yeah that would be fine as well. tbh I have no problem with it as is, but I can see the potential annoyance, so I thought a palatte shift of the flash would be the easiest fix for the devs
@br0crastinat0r I like the above suggestions but I would rather it go back to the way it was. clear eyes and bright sparks from the swords clashing. It was beautiful the way it was. There is enough visual stimulation in fights.

And I would rather that people learn how to report a bug. Report this red flash to support.seaofthieves.com so the devs can take a look. Because I believe it's a bug and not intentional.
@br0crastinat0r put it back the way it was, the sword clinging sound was more then enough info, i dont see the use for a screen flash when you block
