Game is too bright.

I remember my first character was a Erudite Necromancer. Once the sun went down in the Toxx Forest I couldn't see anything. There were dozens of us waiting at the guards for the sun to come back up. I tried fighting at dark once, lost my corpse and made a gnome instead.

One of my favorite classic memories was playing my Human Enchanter (2nd character I made) and sitting at the Qeynos gates at night during a thunder storm. Couldn't see a thing past the gate except when lightning flashed for a split second. I remember just sitting there watching, feeling the ultimate immersenessment.

The amount of immersion between these posts is huge. That is why I ClassicQuest.

I remember late night in Blackburrow you would get lost in certain stretches of tunnel without torches.

This is why the gamma change needs to be fine tuned and tested on multiple computers/setups instead of thrown out completely.

/This, first char was a erudite mage right after release, one month of blind running around, never finding corpses, before I switched to a dwarf Cleric and never looked back again.

Turn off your monitor.

Problem solved.

Next please.

This post is just a little bit annoying, right after us clamoring for a gamma rollback and getting it. Nonetheless I understand why the OP made it. He still wants to see classic darkness for those races who are not supposed to be able to see at night.

I'd say most of us would agree. However, this gamma adjustment, while being a nice try to give us just that, was a bit of a work-around, and did not in fact work out for lots of folks. In addition to being too dark, neither infra vision nor ultra vision was working properly.

Bottom line, the gamma approach was a good try but does quite do what everyone wants. So, we'll have to wait until a different approach can be attempted.

It was a joke.

I've since turned my gamma down much further than before Beta. Not as dark as the devs had it, but darker than I have been accustomed too.

Unless it had been forced on me like during that weekend, I don't think I would have realized how wonderfully moody the game can be at low light.

F that min/max gameplay, I'm here for the feelz.
