Will classic night time gamma mechanic be implemented on Green?

They were really bad, on par with necromancer coldlight spell but with a orange/reddish light. Worse than a fire beetle eye, which was itself largely inadequate.

If anyone is curious about the exact difference between light sources, the wiki has you covered (although I personally have no idea where it got its information).

http://wiki.project1999.com/Light_source (lower brightness numbers = brighter)

Candle Orange 9 (Dim)

Fire Beetle Eye Red 7 (Less Bright)

Thanks for that Loramin. I wasn't aware of that particular page. Note to the casual reader, on that scale a higher number means dimmer. "1" is very bright, and "9" is quite dim indeed.

On a related note it makes me smile seeing that I'm not entirely senile....yet.

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.

That candle was so incredibly useless, only way for human to get in/out of Surefall Glade was with a torch/lantern or turning the gamma way way up with a voodoo video card.

RREEEAALLLLYYYYY hope they get Classic Racial Vision working! It adds a lot of complexity when choosing what Race to play!

No meaningful complexity at all, it just screws humans & barbs. But that is classic.

See that is classic!! I too remember the terror of going to Blackburrow for the first time on live, and I hope others get to experience it again someday.

Yeah, for me it was zoning into Unrest for the first time (second dungeon experience) and hearing the undead moan.. seeing a pile of corpses at the zone in and people die from basement trains. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

yeah but that feeling when it was all new. No ideas about min/max or what you should be doing. Sitting in the glow of your CRT (480p was high res at the time, DVD quality.) trying to find a way around using a crummy candle and that original UI. Was magic to me. I had experienced nothing like it on a console. I talk a lot of smack about consoles but I don't really hate them (pre xbox that is). Tenchu 1 was one of my favorites but nothing that game offered could compare to the immersion of tooling around in OG EQ for me.

Completely disagree. There are so many items and abilities in the game related to vision which are currently useless on Blue. Certain races having downsides that can be mitigated by equipment or class abilities is the definition of "meaningful complexity."

Why do I seem like the only person here who still finds light sources/vision buffs useful here, even if they're not so critical as in the original game? Maybe I can still see a little without a light, but I still want to have one. Is absolutely everyone playing with heavily cranked-up gamma or something?
