Discovery Rep EV Suit light

bucklerpwbucklerpw Member Posts: 103 Arc User
I was playing Tenebris Torquent. It is dark during much of the mission. The light on the Discovery Rep EV suit is dark in the middle of the "beam" where it would be most useful. When it is first turned on, the light beam is good, but the center quickly goes dark.

I made an in game report and had email exchanges with Arc Games. The suggested I try other EV suits. Two other suits did not have the problem with the center of the light beam fading. Arc Games also suggested I make a report here.

I enclosed two images: one show the beam after the center had faded, and the other show the beam when it is first turned on.

    I am starting to notice this too when I was playing Hearts and Minds last night and other characters. The light seems bugged somehow. When I turn on an EV suit the light works correctly but when I am not using it while wearing my armor, a dark shadow is seen where the EV suit light would be. This appears to affect the Discovery reputation one, the Dyson, and the regular ones you can purchase for dilithium.
    Where there is a Will, there is a Way.

    I've encountered this same effect, but with the Veteran EV suits.

    Both the Klingon and Romulan veteran EV suits casting that triangular shadow.

    The Starfleet veteran EV suit casts a shadow on the left hand side of the cone of light.

    That's the big shadow cast from the DSC rep EV suit.

    I wonder if that is on purpose to keep the light from washing anything close out the way the lights used to do.

    This used to bother me a lot but i got used to it.. (didnt have any other choice). How can it be on purpose lol? they are supossed to light up the path right in front of you, not the opposite around... :p

    Lighting is a bit weird, and having a lightsource on or near your head can make anything that is directly ahead of you and close completely wash out, like staring into the Beacon of Kayless level of washed out though you can still see to the sides to some extent. People were complaining about not being able to see anything besides the glare not too long ago in fact.

    They would have done much better to feather the edges of the cone and maybe make the cone a little less dark and obvious, but I am not sure the lighting system would support that.
