MELTING FLOOR LIGHTING

[MattyPoltergeist]

The Lighting in Melting Floor is terrible, especially in Libary and Greenhouse but in all of them really. There was a suggestion maybe a bit ago but like nothing happened so

 

[Keira :D]

I agree with matty, ive lost many Melting Floor games due to the lighting, it makes it really hard to see in some maps

 

[Lilian]

The lighting for both greenhouse and library are fine if you have your brightness set l max. Personally, I think the lighting just adds an extra edge to the game.

Well i dont want to blind myself for the rest of the game just for a game of melting floor

Max brightness isn't enough. It's still really dark in some maps

 

[Lilian]

I don't think the problem is due to the lack of lighting in the map itself. It's more so because of players destroying the lighting in maps like Dark Prison and Chamber Entrance. You could probably fix this by either creating more maps like Ministry or Common Rooms which have obstacles in the center, which would give you a chance to put lighting in places that players can't decay, or you could just give everyone night vision ;p

 

[Lilian]

However I will say that the library map is just dark whether or not ^^

 

[Tang]

I think destroying lighting in maps such as the dark prison and chamber entrance is a great strategy and those shouldn't be altered. The library, however, could do with some extra lighting- the middle of that map is really hard to see.
Personally I would like it if there was light added to the floor of the library map. Therefore over the game, light can be removed, keeping the map challengingly dark, but at least a bit more manageable.

I don't mean to take over Matty's suggestion, I agree with him on what he said but i'd like to make a follow up suggestion of my own, in case the lighting idea was dismissed. We could give everyone a potion of night vision that lasts for like 30 seconds and can be consumed by the player anytime they want throughout the run.

 

[Keira :D]

Yeah, so atleast if all the lights are broken, you can see a bit

Howdy! So I can understand the lighting. I love melting floor and sometimes I can see it is darker than I prefer. I've read suggestions above and either adding night vision or something of that sort would be great but for now, I suggest turning on your brightness to the max- this personally helps me.

From personal experience, I haven't seen this as much of an issue, it adds an extra challenge and I focus on looking at the different shades on the floor and have found that it generally helps. Although I play in my room like a vampire fully in the dark with a bright monitor. So it may simply be my monitor that helps me avoid this issue hence giving me an unfair advantage. I would have to try playing on a different computer and compare them to see if its an issue.

I think the point is for it to be difficult to see once people have removed the floor lighting.

 

[Keira :D]

Yeah, I do enjoy the dark on some maps, I focus on the floor more than the players, but I feel some maps would really need night vision, or even a few more laterns, but I agree, turning your computer up to max brightness could help a lot, thanks for the tip
@YeetChris and @Lilian

I think the onnly map that REALLY needs it is libary, I dont want to have to turn my brightness up every melting floor game and have to turn it off straight after

 

[Aviforma]

bumpity bump

I agree! i have played melting floor many times, and often i would have to stand up to see my screen or just run and pray when playing! my brightness is at max, but it is still quite hard to see in many different maps! plus, i know a lot of people dont have their brightness at max, and i think it would not be fair to the community if they were forced to change their entire minecraft settings just to play a game!

Heya (to everyone who responded to this)!

Apologies for the long wait on a response to this! I'll make sure that this gets brought up to the team (and relevant leadership team) as soon as possible, so that we can get a decision out on this. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, as well as bumping it!

Sorry for late response XD But my computer is on full brightness and PITCH black

 

[Ashh]

Hia, I have returned with a decision!

I'm happy to let you know that this suggestion has been accepted. Our devs have kindly given all players night vision in Melting Floor. We decided on this because there have been complaints in the past about this. While the darkness does add a challenge, this can mostly be negated by changing gamma or brightness settings anyway. This change has been completed, and should hopefully be live soon!
