But oh no, there hasn't been word one about anyone fixing it. I guess I'll just have to pay to recustomize him to something that doesn't hurt to look at. (THAT MUST BE IT, IT'S A PLOY FROM BLIZ TO FORCE PEOPLE TO BUY RECUSTOMIZATIONS!)
someday I'll find someplace to host a sig that isn't stupid money-grubbing photobucket
Re: Ambient Lighting in MoP - Concerned
It's terrible and makes me not want to look at the game. What kind of programmer wants people to not look at their game, I ask you?
Anyway, I made (another) thread about the graphics, linking back to this thread; please head over there and add your two cents if you can. It's a bit down to the wire but maybe they'll fix it still.

I don't think you guys want to see the comparison shots I took of her not in the shade, it burned my eyes doing this with her in the shade. >_>;
Bonus! My Kurken, Bakara, in Mulgore. Her flames, they burn my eyes so. x_____x

I agree with many posts though, the new lighting is blinding in its intensity. It was also on the PTR as I remember seeing it when I selected my Draenei Shaman to log in as...her face was totally washed out by it.

I noticed a couple areas on the ground, as well, where soil was looking reflective because of the brilliance of light. *Soil*.

Re: Ambient Lighting in MoP - Concerned
That's actually a perfect way of describing it. Everything looks metallic. Things shine that shouldn't necessarily shine, and I just wish there was a way to turn it off. Even if you disable the new SSAO graphics option it doesn't have much effect, the lighting change is still there underneath no matter what settings are messed with.Kurasu wrote:It's definitely on the PTR. I noticed it when taking screenshots. Some of the critters were *glowing*, and others were metallic the light was so 'dynamic'. And I don't mean metal ones. I mean 'white rabbits in Redridge'. Trying to get a good screenshot was like trying to get a screenshot of something that was white mercury.

Re: Ambient Lighting in MoP - Concerned
I'm probably going to end up forced to pay for a recust/racechange for my draenei hunter, because he's a white-on-white and I don't want to be stuck staring at a blown-out hole in the middle of my screen instead of a character. I wonder if this is a ploy? Make everyone pay for recusts because something they changed in the game makes their old look unbearable?
... probably tinfoil hatty but still... I resent this. x_x

Seriously Blizz? :p
I'm a fan of shiny. I'm a huge fan of shiny. But not like this.
