Classic Darkness bug reports & feedback

[Deathrydar]

Okay, so I was talking about this last night, but it was raining in East Freeport all night and I was hearing that rain was making it easier to see at night so I wanted to make sure it wasn't the rain.

It isn't....

The first screenshot is East Freeport sewers. It is dark. If I cast Deadeye, it improves a bit, as it should.

The second screenshot is West Freeport, at the same in game time. (These screenshots were taken a few feet from each other at the zoneline)

If I cast Deadeye in West Freeport, there is absolutely zero change. It is still a black abyss.

The West Freeport Sewers are not able to be navigated and they are NOT supposed to be THAT dark at night time. The fact that these two zones look so different leaves me to believe that something is amiss.

I hope it can be investigated and fixed. If not.....well, I hope no one has to run thru the West Freeport sewers at night time, because even with Infravision, you cannot see anything....not even the wall.

Thank you for your time!

I haven't seen this mentioned yet. Kaladim has some very dark spots near the fighter's guild arena.

Please try the experimental shaders in post 103 of this thread.

Actually, can you please also try the experimental shaders with Deadeye? There was a bug with infravision in certain indoor zones that SHOULD be fixed.

Here is some more footage on EQ Trilogy. I got it to just stream on twitch and auto-save the videos for efficiency.

I was trying to get to oasis/west karana but both zones are actually out of order.

Funny easter egg at 3:15. Does this happen on P99?

The candle in your video does what I remember candles doing back in 1999. Here, it only gives a glow around your character and doesn't light anything up at all.

It's immediately apparent that people's memories were in fact accurate and you could see--dimly--terrain/etc, especially in snow-type zones. The "pitch black as soon as you're outside the radius of your light source" effect is overdone and is more nearly similar to rain or a few of of the dark "fog" zones, both which could be quite dark. I say that as someone who approves of getting classic night time darkness correct--this is a tuning issue and with work it can be made right, I think.

Looks like night sight should be more like a super dark ultravision blue.
