Too much glow

The first pic was from 2013 shortly after game was released. The second was a recent 2015 pic. The added glow only takes away from the beauty and ambience.

IIRC, you only get that glow during certain weather, though. Foggy weather, I believe.

It's the weather.

Fog is obscuring the city, and hence the glow

First pic is clear weather. Anything like fog, haze, snow storm, mist, heavy rain, etc will distort light sources when seen at a distance. Like frosted glass v's a clear glass.

I hate the greasy glow effects in ARR so funk'n much.

Fog should not turn city lights into a paper plate that just had a make out session with delivery pizza.

As someone who lived in Seattle for a long time, that's pretty much what fog does. Unless it's thick, in which case you just can't see shit beyond 5 feet directly ahead of you.

Every now and then fog rolls in during the right time of day in-game and the sun hits it all and everything just turns an obnoxiously bright shade of pink. Not a huge fan.

I understand- fog is difficult to render.

Maybe we should just have less of it in general? I feel like Coerthas wouldn't be all that foggy if it's supposed to be so cold all the time anyways.

Err... in what area? I've never seen fog giving an area a pink hue outside of Mor Dhona's Gloom weather.
