Thanks for another post of this is how it was in classic, but only partially true since I never played classic.

So you just posted a video showing char creation of showing each race's light ambiance changes. Notice how it changes for each race? Good thing I said character select ability on choosing who you want to play. Not the back ground lighting of the toon twisting around.

It's reverted for the time being. There is a big difference between classic seeing, and not being able to even see your UI or toon name you want to enter the world with. This is the difference of what people were saying.

I took photos of my monitor and posted them here http://www.project1999.com/forums/sh...173116&page=21 is this roughly how everyone else was seeing the game? I feel like people were exaggerating how dark it was or their computers were vastly different than mine. It's dark but i can see my Ui, names, ultravision helped, light sources helped even more, when titanium's bright night bs kicked in it helped even more.

in that youtube video at 2:29 when that guy is fighting the fire beetle imagine if his light source was taken away, it'd be super dark, much like that first picture of mine.

I mean I understand everyone's complaints about the gamma effecting everything else, and it's been changed soooo it doesn't even matter - I'm just curious.

We each have varying degrees of vision impairment due to frequency of self-pleasure, which clearly explains the wide spectrum of responses to the gamma change.

Both char creation and char select looked the exact same on my screen. Why don't you try posting some pictures of it.

Your human or whatever should be nearly blind without a vision spell.

Hoping whatever change does finally go in ensures that on all makes and models!
I remember this as well. I commented on it in a differen't post. I swear my DE rogue always carried a beetle eye still.

I just posted about this in another thread, but here's a great example of what it was like as a human, barbarian, or erudite. I specifically remember keeping an extra lantern or fire beetle eye in the bank for CRs.

Lovely patch, game has been far too bright for too long, ruins the ambiance. Infra/Ultravision still needs work, though. With infravision, NPCs and PCs should be giving off a red glow. Ultravision should give everything a blue tint.

<3 H. Been a great month in patches.

What kind of self-respecting EQ classic player uses "night elf" instead of "dark elf"???
