Darkness
 

I was reading through previous posts and a topic came up about light levels during the night on P99. I, too remember it being much darker and more terrifying at night back in the day. It added additional challenge for non infravision type characters and made lightsources more of a necessity.

Anyway, most of this was previously discussed on the aforementioned thread. I just wanted to see what the community at large thought. I personally miss the dark myself.

The changed light levels is a client effect fyi. Not server code

So this issue cannot be changed by the devs then i suppose?

Well they've changed things with the client before but tbh probably not. Some things they can change some they can't. And either way it's not an easy 'flip of the switch' thing

When I started my wizard on live I did so as a dark elf only because I was straining my eyes so much, ultravision was a real difference maker :D

I'm sure this nice high contrast big screen LCD doesn't hurt nightvision either :>

My very first toon (Named Goraith hince the forum name) was Erudite wizard. He was so night blind that I would sit him a the guards until the day time. Between getting lost and dying in the dark and auto attack being bound to the "a" key, he died often. I finally gave up on him after 14 levels.

Yea, wish they could change this back. Unfortunately, this was caused by the opengl back then. That kind of darkness isnt available nowadays!

being an erudite in toxullia forest was a frightening thing. Even dungeons were way more frightening.

Just lower your monitor brightness, or play on an old CRT.

Barbarians travelling from everfrost to BB always got lost inside the dark tunnels lol.

Anyone had that experience?
