Will classic night time gamma mechanic be implemented on Green?

They could, but you could back in 1999 when the game launched. In fact, the official Brady Strategy guide lists turning up your gamma as a "tip".

Memory is BS and all that, but as I remember it that gamma control was far more limited. Even with gamma maxxed going through the Blackburrow tunnel was still a little challenging (and if you didn't know that tip ...)

Ahh Great thread so many terrifying memories true night blindness was far worse than book medding. I don't remember the gamma setting being of any real help could have been my comp at the time. Odd I remember the fire beetle eye being an upgrade to the candle.

My first trip into EC was a nightmare! All I remember is seeing that I was being hit by the red text in my combat window. I remember just running around aimlessly cause I had NO idea where i was at and I did not see one of the MOBS that were hitting me. I just heard the crunching sound. I do remember seeing that a Griffin was hitting me and eventually killed me though. The sounds of a Griffin's wings flapping gave me PTSD.

That was rough. it would be more classic if it were in green, but I am kinda glad that it's not.

If this had a pole Id vote yes, even if of course the pole doesnt matter but because yes I want to suffer!

There are so many new things I have learned in the last couple weeks.

Green99 could be substantially harder than blue99 haha! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Rogean has mentioned it in another thread so it seems like it's going to be in. I've been thinking about it a lot because I believe I'm going to play a Bard, and was going to be Human... Anyone remember what easily accessible/low level items there are that provide some form of night vision? And is there a Bard song for it?

No no, I don't mean light sources. Those only help you see your immediate surroundings, I meant actual night/ultra vision stuff.

The wiki can help, but I haven't yet made a category for vision-enhancing items (like I did for Invis ones; someone else is welcome to do so ...)

As a result, you have to go to every spell that can give infravision/ultravision, and then check their list of items that give that spell effect. For instance:

http://wiki.project1999.com/Ultravision (has lots)

http://wiki.project1999.com/Serpent_Sight

http://wiki.project1999.com/Truesight

http://wiki.project1999.com/Chill_Sight

http://wiki.project1999.com/Summoned:_Coldstone

and the famous:

As for Bards, they at least have:

Short tunnel from Halas dock was all blind guesswork even in Kunark (2000). Half the time you'd just end up back at the dock or even in that ridiculous moat getting run over by the raft. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I had a barb shaman alt back on live. I remember swapping his junky shield for a lantern at night cause I couldn't see a got damn thing. Make light sources great again!
