    I can make out some of the light and details, but MAN do I wish the light spell didn't follow me around... I don't care about the junk behind me, its the stuff in front of me that concerns me.

    I suggest turning your monitor off - that might make it dark enough for you to play Drocis. also works if your on the forums, very immersive :)

    Honestly, with the light spell, torches, enchanted light items. It's really not bad.

    When I was in a "I don't wanna use magic" phase. I even would equip a torch in my offhand and forgo my second blade. Sure it put me at a disadvantage but that's part of an RPG.

    It would be neat to see a reinforced torch of some sort that could be used as a blunt weapon in your offhand.

    A friend loaned me one of his dark lamps you can buy in the add on store. Neatest thing I have seen in the game. It is bright like a LED flashlight. I wish I had a key that I could change out my weapon hand. Then I could carry the lamp and have my weapon when attacked.

    You can link items to your deck. You'd just have to create an alternate deck with the lamp instead of a weapon. Its what I do with torches. I have a deck linked to a sword + shield, and another linked to a sword + torch.

    Its a bit clunky for something so simple, but it works. It also makes it more difficult to do deck swapping between weapons, like between a sword and and a bow, because then you have the third wheel of a deck just for your torch.

    Eh. 1st tier spells should be tied to reagents; it would help get rid of the torches are a disadvantage thing. Eventually, I'm assuming torches will have durability, too.

    Torches should be able to do fire damage, IMO, whether reinforced or not.

    Btw, although I enjoy the darkness and play fine w/ a torch, there's nothing wrong for waiting for day, either. It will give greater purpose to camping, if they ever manage to get that in ;)

    Those things are ugly, it would be funny though to see people running about in them just so they can see at night, lol. I don't know how much light they provide though, I didn't buy one, hmmm. LOL.
    *edit* nah still can't buy one to see, it's too ugly to me. :)

    Now I really feel dumb. I totally forgot about doing this. I am so use to the "Use a key to do this method" it slipped my little mind. Thanks for refreshing my thought process.

    Nights should be dark. You should be afraid to go out at night. Use your imagination instead of wanting everything easy. Put yourself in character and become your avatar, not just a dude typing on a keyboard.

    Im all up for a challenge, but stumbling around and walking into the edge of a zone isn't something that requires much imagination, plus the dude typing on a keyboard doesn't think its much fun either
