ToxicTroublermaker Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 (edited) That was the motto for the website/forum redesign and I believe it applies to the game as a whole as well. Remember wayyy back when all we did was sneak aboard dim lit Corpus ships fighting Grineer? Remember the dark, brooding atmosphere of the Infested's arrival? Remember kneeling in a dark space hologram room by yourself, alone? Do you remember the despair of being told that your kind was on the brink of extinction? And the gravity of that situation being realized? Well now look at us. Not only have we fought tirelessly against those that would harm our small number, but we have GROWN to more than QUADRUPLE of how many people we had in those days. We now have ships to call our own to see the beauty of the Origin System. We have pets, both organic and mechanical, to call friend and that love us. Our arsenal has grown great in its selection of tools to end life. We have syndicates to further our loyal and devotive endeavors besides the Lotus. We have Hub Relays to mingle with our kind in a way never before seen except in dojos which was rare. Rejoice fellow Tenno, for the Dark Age has ended, and into the Light we shall go. What other things from the Dark Age do you remember or has been changed? Edited December 2, 2014 by ToxicTroublermaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W4RH3AD Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 If you say it that way.. then yeah, it does seem like it applies to the game entirely. ...though some of that dark, brooding and ominous environment would be welcome.. I kinda miss it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaugahn Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I honestly never really found this game dark or brooding. They've streamlined out the appearance, it looks a lot less like Dark Sector now, but it's still as dark and brooding as it ever was (which is to say, not very) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kinda miss it. Yea I mean we were almost extinct then (quite literrally if you think about player count) and nowadays our numbers are skyrocketing and we now enter into a much brighter and lively future than we did before. I like to think this was the whole master plan if and when it went DE's way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vaugahn Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Well I was comparing today's brighter atmosphere to that of Closed Beta and early Open Beta Bright and streamlined are two different things. Are you talking about bright tone, literally the brightness of the game, or bright colors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToxicTroublermaker Posted December 2, 2014 Author Share Posted December 2, 2014 Bright and streamlined are two different things.

Judgebanks Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I switched the theme back immediately, darker themes are better for the eye. Scientific Fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sp33chle55 Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Well, none of those three things have really experienced a significant change since the early days. I agree, after looking at my brightness and contrast settings and correcting them i have the feeling there was a change to how they work i must have missed. Now its back to scary levels. I also agree with the op when it comes to our "evolution". We went from lonely survivalists to a force to be reckoned with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixty5 Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I like the light, it means more damage for my Mirage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niryco Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Infested was scarier when there wasn't light filtering but pitch darkness and a small torch to aid your vision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unknow99 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I switched the theme back immediately, darker themes are better for the eye. Scientific Fact. Same for me. The new one looks good, but it simply isn't as good as the previous one. Again, opinions. Some found the game much darker back then, some don't.
