Anyone had that experience?

Amen, lol

Isn't this why having light sources was also so important? I was 14 or so, and don't remember specifically, but I do remember it being impossible to play as a human or erudite.

To the poster about the everfrost to bb tunnels..I played a barbarian and absolutely nothing was more frustrating to me then getting turned around and accidebtaly zoning back into everfrost 4 times in a row back when zoning took minutes. i would seriously get so disturbed and upset because I would spend my entire playing time doing accidental zoning

On live my very first character was a Wood Elf, I remember refusing to move at night because I'd either fall off the top of the treehouse city or get lost underneath it.

Can't you just turn down the gamma? I'm sure the LCD monitors have more to do with it than any sort of programming change.

[Danyelle]

While, yes, newer monitors and the gamma setting affect this as well. The newer clients are coded to not be quite as dark as Classic was. It's part of the new enhanced lighting system. Newer clients are even less dark to some degree.

But yes, as previously stated, turning down your gamma will help negate this effect. I personally always play at 10%. Looks better not just in game but the UI looks better at this darkness level as well imo.

yeah its the client - I have a 12 years old C70, and its naturally A LOT darker than my newer Acer in the next room, but even here, erudite at night during rain in Tox - is as bright as my WE was back on LIVE in 2000.

As much as I hated playing night blind races (gave up on 2 of my Erudite chars because of that), removal of night blindness removes the bonus of having Infra/Ultra vision for other races

I always wondered why they removed night blindness



seemed like something that was uber classic
