The tall buildings of NYC definitely had a unique claustrophobic effect on The Division - anything other than midday had long shadows or just darkness. DC on the other hand has a lot more open areas, with a more sickening sense of marshy overgrowth rather than the closed-in-cold. But shiny... that's a word I've not seen before to describe the differences...
I understand the want to go to DC, but I think the over "feeling" isn't what brought so many to the first game.Originally Posted by Ubi-RealDude Go to original post
I think that the Dark Zone isn't about the ambient light; it's about the mood, the atmosphere, the general feeling of "OH ****", I could be killed at any moment, Better keep that trigger finger ready.
EDIT: I know when I decide to enter the DZ, the lighting has no effect on me. It could be bright sunshine or a rainy evening and I have "THAT" feeling, especially when I hear "Rogue detected nearby." Or whatever the actual wording is.
