Change Vaurca Night-Vision

[DatSamTho]

As it stands, Vaurca night-vision is terrible. It's hard to make out details in it, and looking at it for longer periods of time just makes my eyes hurt, sometimes to the point that I switch it off and go off of my PDA light. It would be nice to change it to some more bearable tint.

I don't mind the fact it is blue, but does it have to be such a dark blue? If it was brightened up abit were things were more discernable without damaging my eyes, it would be great.

ALL OF MY BUGS HAVE SYNTHETIC EYES BECAUSE OF THIS.

This shade of blue causes eye strain for me, so I use synthetic eyes for every one of my Vaurca.

Remove nightvision, give us smellOvision:TM: ... for simple mobs. And maybe machinery / turrets. I don't want to see people through walls lol.

But yeah in full support of the topic. The nightvision currently is painful. Since balancing does not seem to be an issue at all anymore, let's do something fun

Color psychology time! Color psychology can't be avoided!

Dark blue tends to make us focus harder and develop a more serious mentality. If you double down on it too much (as in the case of the Vaurca night vision) it can actually lead to the creativity aspect of our minds going a little... dull.

It can also cause hints of depression if it's over-whelming.

So... you've got a color that is shutting down your creativity, and promoting a serious, no nonsense mentality. It's effectively cutting off your nose to spite your face. While concentration is useful, we are playing a game that requires full use of our "left brain". (Which, is highly debatable if that's a prop... you know what, just use the metaphor without explanation.)

May I suggest gold or light yellow? And tone up it's transparency. You want a light wash of the color. Remember, too bright of a color will result in an overwhelming effect.

The Vaurca night-vision gives me a headache if I have it on too long. It's a very unpleasant shade of blue.

Would a greyscale work, too? That sounds like the easiest thing for me.

It's greyscale if you have mechanical eyes. I think it's a fair workaround (maybe it's even a bug, I don't know) but yeah I do agree the default night vision color needs to change.

Greyscale is the taj nightvision. I like yellow. Give me yellow. Yellow blood yellow night vision, easy fix.
