I left the game over this. What Bioware is doing is just the next step in the ongoing process of alienating players - so there we go, I am alienated now. Kudos to the developers 🤮
SWTOR has always been way too dark, but Very Low Graphics was a way to get around the problem. Now, this last resort has been taken away from us. I went to the Republic Fleet the other day, I literally lost my way - I'm guessing on my two billionth or so visit. On Nar Shaddaa I couldn't find my way ouf of the hangar it was so dark 🥶 What's the point of this?
As for Gamma, I tried that and everything looked like the whole game had been drawn and animated by a 5-year-old child. Meh ...
So I decided to leave. The game that could otherwise have a very loveable and enjoyable atmosphere has now darkness descended upon it all over the galaxy. It's very oppressive. I certainly want to be light years away from it and not be a part of it.
