Will classic night time gamma mechanic be implemented on Green?

I don't play with sound anymore, so I don't have the terror of the Gnolls howling ... but with my unintentional Linux night blindness bug that tunnel is a challenge to get through now.

I'm holding out hope that the devs can figure out a way to hack Titanium (yet again) to bring back low-light classic-ness for everyone.

Interestingly the low-light works properly indoors. Go into parts of Befallen, for example, on a human character with no light--pitch black (tested that myself awhile back). That's why you can't simply enforce a reduced gamma, that won't do it properly.

I feel like I started with a candle in December of 1999, but I very well could be misremembering

I don't know about December or if it was in at the very beginning of launch in March, but I'm 99% sure that Humans and Barbs started with 'A Worn Candle.' I could see them adding that after the first few weeks because of all the complaints about being blind.

Ultravision should make stuff look blue-ish. Infravision made mobs look distinctly red. Humans at some point--don't remember if it was right at launch--should start with a candle among the other usual starting items.

I played as a DE for almost the whole time i played EQ. A friend logged into my account and said to me "JESUS how do you play like this? Whats with the weird colours? Everything is purplish....."

I explained its ultravision and i dont even notice it anymore <_<

I remember going back to town at night and waiting until the sunlight came up to fight again because it was so dark that you could not see what mobs were coming for you.

I used to do this back in 1999 as well. I would try to hold off all of my selling and/or training until night time and then run to Freeport so most of the evening hours were spent before I could go back to EC/WC/NRO and kill stuff.

I also remember buying a lantern because I couldn't see a damn thing!

It did make those light sources all the more important, it's sad to see a mechanic go, but I don't know if I'd want it again.

Seeing nametags rushing you out of the darkness is as classic as it gets.

But in truth if you had at least a lightstone night-time wasn't that bad. Even reading this forum you'll notice most of the horror stories originate from people who didn't know better and tried running around without a light source (or with only a terrible one like a fire beetle eye). What sucked was rainstorms at night. Then it got DARK. I remember trying to level in zones like North Karana and having only the occasional flash of lightning to backlight the griffon that was about to use my face as a scratching post.

Yeah. I remember the Karanas at night during rain. Scary stuff. Something out of a horror movie!
