Human Night Vision

[Kika Maslyaka]

i agree, since they changed vision in the client back in 2002 or so, infra/ultra vision become useless ability.

Remember that tunnel that goes from EverFrost to Black Burrow? It was IMPOSSIBLE to navigate it as human/barbarian even with candle or fire beetle eye even in day time. You had to have light stone to be able to determine where to turn.
Now days you can go through it without any light sources easily.

Qeynos Hills at night was like a Plane of Nightmares to me [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
I used to spend entire night time siting at Millers house waiting for sun to come up, too afraid to go out, as I would get lost very very quickly and run into a rabid grizzly or a skeleton [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]


As much as I hated being blind barbarian in EF and Erudite in Tox (specially during rain!!!), i sort of miss that "feature" - it gave infra/ultra a lot more worth

/rant

They changed this? How fucking lame.

My very first character I made was a Human warrior out of Qeynos. Talk about white knuckle adventuring. I remember how happy I was when I got my first Greater Lightstone.

I can't believe SOE changed it, what a bunch of fuckers. That was part of the same retarded line of thought that exp penalty came from.

Now I'm 'U MAD BRO' because my TSK gets ass raped at a 168% exp penalty as part of racial balancing (lol), but humanoids like Humans/Erudites and Barbies don't have to stumble around in the dark for 45 minutes anymore?

Now I'm really on board with the exp changes in Velious.

/rant off

YES!

I'm very grateful that I started the game in 1999 as a Barbarian Shaman. Not having night vision made for the most spine-chilling gaming experience I've ever had. At any given moment during nighttime you felt like death was around the corner. Navigating that tunnel into Blackburrow was indeed a difficult task. It took some time, but eventually (after seeing it with a party who created enough light) you learned to "feel" your way through it if you didn't have a light source.

The tunnel into Blackburrow lol. Memories.

I used to wait outside the tunnel and wait for some other players who carried a light source, and when they go down the tunnel I'll go in after them, following their light.
