I am not sure if anyone is having the same issues I am or not. I am a human bard in Qeynos. I ran into a dark corner. On the left is with a torch equipped, on the right is with the torch unequipped (on my cursor). The ambient light around me in both pictures is identical, which I don't think would be expected.

Let me know if you need any more details.

I noticed the same thing, and I don't remember that ambient lighting existing back in the era. I played an erudite as my main/first character and those spots in Qeynos were brutal, just pitch black.

Unfortunately, there is some baked lighting in city areas that we won't really be able to do much about. Qeynos, in particular has some VERY bright lanterns and the titanium client plays pretty fast and loose with the way illumination bleeds around corners.

It was more of a priority for us to get wilderness areas and caves/dungeons properly dark rather than have little nooks and crannies in some cities be 100% perfect.

Understood, its definitely closer.

Is this what everyone is seeing in Tox?

Some sky files were missing from this patch and will be included in the next one. Toxx should be pitch black at night and that blue tint is not intended.

Will the gamma slider eventually be disabled? 100% gamma makes it look like fortnite. ~:-)

Gamma can't be disabled, because it's an OS-level setting. Removing the slider won't stop people from doing it.

However, people who expect high gamma to allow a human to see at night may be disappointed. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I am in WK and it is fuckin DARK.

Nice work lads.

It was pretty dark even on a gnome. Running on a Mac so it’s working there too.

My only complaint is that it’s pretty hard to see where to click the spell gems exactly.

The Barbarians holding candles have a white glow around them, even the corpses. Is this as intended?
