Why is it so light?!

asdaa · 11-01-2007, 06:03 PM

In well map, after 1.1 patch? Its much brighter than before. :S

Because many of us, including myself, felt that well especially was to gloomy and dark. It's quite depressing after you've played it a few weeks actually. I really think the majority of players enjoy lighter vibrant maps more so then darker.

Not speaking for everyone of course, but changes need to attract the majority of which FF needs every last ounce right now.

Also, I don't think it's overly bright still. The sky is somewhat dark, it has a dusky/dawny feel to it. Very different, and a positive step in my opinion.

i like the new look.

my monitor sucks and the flashlight doesn't work on most servers; i'm glad this is brighter now.

on a similar note, on ff_palmero there's several parts of the map that's so dark i seem to lose my way every now and then

so dont play it, it got in the patch on accident, its nowhere near done

richard nixon · 11-02-2007, 01:19 AM

you sure? Palermo looks fine to me and is very playable. played it a lot today actually

barronofhellion · 11-02-2007, 01:05 PM

i dont have a problem with well being bright , i just rather it be moonlit brite for memories... it really threw me off when i loaded it.. but its not all that bad..

Palermo wasn't included by accident. Couple of the team didn't approve of it being released, because I don't think it got a lighting pass yet or something, and technically isn't 100% done, but considering it's been sitting idle for a while maybe this will be motivation to finish it for an update.

I think well is too bright. I am not complaining that it is more lit but rather has far too many lights that are bright. The flag room just looks crazy now with all those lights. They all need to be turned down some.

I like the new look to well, it's nice and bright, but key area's are still dark like the sniper deck ON TOP OF BASE for all the snipers out there that camp the exit ramps (which are also darkened well)

SoBe Green · 11-02-2007, 03:23 PM

well is perfect. Turn your gamma back down. I had mine up pretty high just so I could see in well before so when I first loaded well in 1.1 I thought "Wow this is a sick joke we wanted bright but this is insane." readjust your gamma and you'll see well is perfect.

-=bingo-bango=- · 11-02-2007, 07:40 PM

may i suggest 2 versions of well? i cant stand the new look, as i assume, others cant either. and if we cant have it a night version, then why not both?

ye,a theres a bit of texture overlaping, areas u can get to ur not supposed to b able to get to, funky lighting, and a lot of overstretched textures. just assumed it wasent supposed to b released along w/ the others

SoBe Green · 11-03-2007, 01:35 AM

Two versions of well would be incredibly bad on very many levels.

how so? with the only difference being the lighting?

richard nixon · 11-03-2007, 04:27 AM

its just stupid and redundant, there are a lot more bugs to worry about than how much of a baby you are about lighting

GeoKill-----> · 11-03-2007, 07:02 AM

Well was fine before and its better now

bokko · 11-03-2007, 11:00 AM

Can someone post a screenshot of the new ff_well to compare the difference in lighting, please?

SoBe Green · 11-03-2007, 01:24 PM

So you can't play FF or haven't played FF at all?
