Day and night cycle

What do guys think about this Day and Night cycle that is in D2R so far?
This is new stuff that they add to D2R, right? I don’t think I have seen it back D2.

I don’t remember it. If it was in original D2, then the difference isn’t big enough for me to remember it. The last time I play the original D2 is around the D2R announcement.

It was in the original.

Then they make the difference much noticeable. :slight_smile:

It was indeed in the original, and night is much, much more noticeable in d2r.

No, that is old. So is the weather.

I kind of think so too, but figured it was just me. I changed the gamma on my screen so I could still sort of see. It makes seeing rocks and treasure items hard.

It IS dark and gritty, I will give them that. Overall though the environmental graphics are fantastic. I stop and stare pretty regularly. Like - all the candles in the Jail in certain areas. It is really well done.

I know this is necro, but I hate the day-night cycles. I’m legit vision impaired. It’s unbearable in certain areas like cows when it goes dark. I can’t see the chests, etc. It should have a toggle if it’s going to be that dramatic a shift. I mean we’re old folks now that played this since the first one. There are considerations to an aging fan base that should be taken into account. I’m just asking for a a selection to turn this off, not change the game or even change the ACT II quest that plunges the whole world into darkness till you fix it. I was already in my 30s when D2 came out the first time.
