Mods, this is constructive feedback. I cant describe to you adequately how much I hate this map..
Evidently Im not alone, as a poll yesterday had 60% of respondents listing river city night as their most hated map.. Far and away the winner.

One third of my matches today was this abortion. Please , for the love of all that is good, remove this travesty until whomever is working on night lighting figures out what they are doing..
Its not just thermal or night vision thats the problem. Its the map itself with all its horrible lighting.
Blazing fires, and 1 meter away, pitch black..
Golden sky, pitch black ground.
This map sorely tests me to just not DC when it comes up. IF the Matchmaker would fill my spot, I would. Unfortunately , im loyal to my five minute teammates.

Please.. Get your act together concerning maps..
The baubles etc are all fine, but for Petes sake its starting to become an issue.. Maps..
Maps.
Maps...
Do something.. more than your doing.. Alpine got bleh reviews at best.. though its light years better than rcn.

Believe me, if you got us all in a stadium and said CHEER IF YOU LOVE RCN>.. You would hear crickets..

I hate river city.

I can't see with out thermal.

Thermal screws with my eyes making everything blurry.

Night vision nukes my eye sight.


Give me headlights or give me daylight.

The map is fine, the lack of properly working vision modes is the problem.

[mekabuser]

Its not the vision modes only.. Its the way they have tried to simulate night time. It is the EXACT opposite of what planetside 2 achieved..
I would challenge anyone to cite a worse example of night fighting in any game.
Im not even going there with the vision modes.. Asking for that overhaul seems pointless. This map tho, THE NIGHT ONE> has got to go. I dont mind RC.. I like it even.. Its rcn.. bane of us all.

I am sitting outside.. RIGHT NOW>. in a fairly dark environment, with a few lights..just like RCN. It looks NOTHING>> nothing.. nothing.. like what I see.

I can't stand the River City night map mainly because thermal is hard on my eyes and night vision just sucks.

[Mystere]

I seem to like it in my Spider 5D while perched on top of the highest building in the center (whatever that is called). It's a great place for spotting and spamming (ER)PPC shots.

The map isn't fine, you have to use the horrible visual enhancements to play on it.

Kudos to pgi for tying to do something different., now do the right thing and throw river city night into the trash please.

I hate RCN because thermal kills my eyes, i dont even bother to turn it on. Night vision has terrible depth. buts its perferable. The only reson i dont DC is because i want my mech for the next game.
Remove or make a botten saying, "Click here to elimanate River city night from match making."

DIE

[yashmack]

They need to add huge flood lamps to the front of our mechs... I think it would add a very interesting dynamic to the strategy for the map
you could even blind those on night vision with them
it would be fun

I like the map and the idea but I hate the thermal and night vision modes, the need to fix these, not get rid of the map...

Hell, you don't need headlights to do that, just press "N" and blind yourself without the headlights.

I do not mind the night river city that much, i think they should move base location around more since they are in the same spots as in the day version.

[Jacob Dieffenbach]

If it helps, on Twitter one of the devs was saying they're testing out a new night vision mode.

[Cairbre]

It is really hard to see on this map- even for this guy.

[General Taskeen]

Let's roll a dice to see what map we play on. 2D6. River City Night!

Please just crit me.

[Dennis de Koning]

Vision modes are in the process of getting an overhaul.
Matt Craig found some pretty cool tweaks that will greatly improve the look and feel.
MWO will never be in shrink wrap; it will always evolve.

[Livebait]

I agree the map is way too dark and night vision makes my eyes bleed. The map really is horrid in its current form. Also, whats with the stupid out of bounds markers. Am I missing something? Going 3 meters to far is some how match breaking?

Instead of a hero mech, how about we make night vision a non-blinding experience?


@ Dennis Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This.

[Void2258]

I like the idea of giving mechs headlights. If you can have duct tape on mars, you can have headlights on a mech. It would be pretty strategic for night fighting, since you could turn them on and off to stealth or blind people on NV. A rework of thermal would be needed, but we need that anyway.

I agree that the worst problem is the completely screwed up lighting. They need to fix this ASAP.

Then disable this awful map until its fixed. People play games for fun and this map is not fun. Its a ******** stinker!
Maybe that is because of the way your vision modes work. That is okay. But don't annoy your customers while you are working on a fix.
