Not sure, it’s a passive currently. I did hear the same somewhere though.

I certainly hope they switch it to active.

Like 70% of players are gonna pick an Ultravision race given how dark this game is, so that means 70% of the screenshots and gameplay videos are gonna have a stupid ass blurred draw distance.

That is going to have a massive impact on player population.

I'd consider removing the entire vision system rather than implement it this way.

I watched a bit and what he said is they set up a way to break night harbor into two sections when certain population thresholds are met, and then demonstrated that ooc is connected in both zones. Looked like the break was around Saltbreeze park area but I wasn’t watching when he actually zoned from one to the other.

I actually like this. NH lags so much especially if you have a pet

We found a place where we needed our trainee candles to see in the deep elf starter area. A cave up on a ledge surrounding the area, has some level 4-5 myconids. No apparent light source, was total darkness and had to use the candle even with ultra. Curious what the “unnaturally dark” areas like Upper Saman look like with ultra.

Going to start a fresh deep elf today and try to get him to underdocks to kill wererats and bandits, see how long it takes to not be KOS in NH.

Lack of night and day cycle and lack of sandstorms and rain really stands out in the deep. Put your fire wherever ya want, no need for shelter!

IMO, in “typical high fantasy” vision aspects in relation to this… ultra / heat vision is like “infrared” so it has a kinda excuse to not “work” in “absolutely no light” - but even then any small “fire” should then result in essentially full vision.

Ultravision is completely magical vision and should never “not see”… unless its some cave of mushrooms or something.

Not having reasons for things is worse than having retarded reasons.

Yeah, it's almost like, "Hey guys! REMEMBER 1999!?!" is a really retarded reason to add these dumb, outdated systems in a modern-day MMO.

Finally giving the beta a bit more time now that most of the updates for classes are in and the ultravision races. Got my monk to 50 a couple months ago and just kind of backed off because I didn’t really see the point at the time.
Excited to see some of the old minivan dad crew planning on this game.

I only skimmed the past few pages. But did I catch this right? If you are a Dark Elf with Ultravision you can't see shit in direct sunlight? Because gyat damn that would be fucking lol.

If you have Ultravision you need to wear sunglasses or be blind outside during the day. Think of the immersion!

Designing classes is way harder than creating worlds for these guys. The new deep areas are pretty damn cool. The ‘inaccessible’ part of the deep elf city actually has some wild shit in it lol. And caves of irem is full of shit to figure out, giant puzzles and stuff. Caverns is barely started yet but shows a lot of promise as well.

too bad they keep shooting themselves in the foot with their class and mechanics changes. Such a cool world and it’s going to sit empty at this rate.

No not at all. Anyone saying that is grossly overexaggerating. I ran a deep gnome outside to take a look for myself. With gamma at 50% this is what daytime looks like.
