Level 9 pally is a strange area to find decent solo spot. I thinks I need to grow some balls and setup in Wyrmsbane - dunes, the wolf people camp is very slow exp now- the big bugs are random and spread out and I cant take bandits or full crocs yet.
I have been running around Wyrmsbane to get my bearings, and I know it is intentional - but the lighting really kills the game for me still. It is rough when 50% of the outside world gameplay is hard to see, it never really is "bright" even during the day - in the desert its all new dune color with the filtered deep orange spread from the sun vs, a bright clear clean sun...
Then even in the screenshot above, you go into a place and its "oh its a cave! it would be dark without fires etc. IRL" yeah, also there are no ghosts and skellys wondering around the caves in real life... I should be able "to see" 99% of everywhere at all times... in EQ "lulz people forget how blind u were" yeah... in outdoor open zones, but even "at night" in guk, etc. you could see everything just fine w/o infra.
I made a race with infra and its still bad, gamma and brightness up... the gamma should not be the solution, at it washes out everything.
With that, I miss the "last year" textures and visuals were everything was more... simple.... in their texture, you saw a wall, its a "stone wall" you look at it, its big simple and plain, you get it... now its pushing to the "overly detailed" - well look /its like a real stone wall/ oh you have to get close to see the cool textures and grout lines... yeah... now you look like Pantheon and TooMuchBrown(tm)
