Helltides Environment Change

Hi, I have a question regarding the HellTides visual environment changes.

Previously, when a HellTide started, the whole area environment turned visibly darker and red, creating a very strong “under siege by Hell” atmosphere. Recently, I noticed that the environment barely changes anymore, and the HellTide zone looks almost the same as regular world areas.

Is this an intended change, or is it a visual bug? I really liked the intense red atmosphere before, so I just wanted to confirm whether this is working as intended.

Thanks!

It still is….

Are you playing D4, for sure?

Please enlighten me, what’s different???

The mini map & the world map is still red…

And the are on the main screen is sometimes also reddish, it depends of where teh helltide are is. For instance, near Kyovashad you can’t tell the red, but in Kurast or Ked Bardu, you can see red area in the main map…

So youre saying its not the same red. Got it.

What the hell are you even arguing for?

Where was that meeting held? I mean it’s obvious that you were there when this decision was made, because only an absolute bozo would just blindly make such a claim about something that they have zero first hand knowledge of.:clown_face:

People love to blame content creators for everything.

I don’t think blizzard are going to content creators for suggestions nor are the taking feedback from creators and acting on it.

Helltides are still red. Sometimes I get a visual bug where the red doesn’t apply but if I port to town and back again the red comes back. Perhaps this is what the OP was experiencing.

But the tripe you came up with was entirely of your own creation.

Could be you need to reset your brightness level in game.

The war cry of the BS artist.

You should go and do your own research, you are one of these people who demand to be spoon fed everything and then reject it with claims like “ the war cry of the bs artist”

The main reason you fear doing your own research is you know you may be wrong and the truth of things will hurt your ego

Googling something about a video game is not research it’s just googling. If it makes you happy I did infact do some searching and didn’t find anything solid. There was some posts about the PTR (s4 or 5 maybe ?) having a different hue that then later turned out to be a bug that didn’t make it to the game.

Apart from that I found no evidence that anything has changed based on feedback from streamers.

When making a claim it is on the person making the claim to prove it not the rest of us to disprove it.

it is censorship, china is getting orange helltides, while the rest of the world is getting a less bloody atmosphere. lets play in a harmonized game to reduce social violence.

:dove:

It was because everything was red. The enviroment, the monsters, the monster attak’s visuals, every other “hellish” visual RED. Everything was red and indistinguishable.

I think they reduced the red hue in S4 cause that was when people were supposed to be in the HTs 1-100

In S11 HTs are green and most of the demons have been replaced with maggots, but that’s temporary, Duriel’s subbing Blood Maiden for S11

shouldnt be hard for you to link one of those dozen videos then.

I like all of the changes you’re complaining about and I’ve never made a piece of content. Have you ever stopped to consider maybe the devs play testing the game had the same experience and wanted to change it themselves too? Walking across original Gea Kul sucked. I still don’t love it. K-mart is way better now too. If you want an aesthetic, you can teleport to other places? They all have the same thing except the pit pillar.

Also to add on to the thread. The red was also changed once Blood Maiden was added. Her telegraphed attacks being red on top of red ground was difficult to see and D4 prides itself on being one of the most accessibility-friendly games.

i have honestly no clue what you are talking about. I was merely asking you for proof. But hey, since we go with the classic post count crap - Ill just say that you have no credibility because you only had 20ish posts.

so i take it as a you cant deliver any proof, even tho there are dozen of videos.

as i said, just a single video of a content creator demanding this change on this would suffice.

you are trying to deflect here. I merely asked for a proof. How can it be that hard for you?
