Hello Everybody!
Along with all of the changes that came with patch 1.5, the Fog of War has also changed. Personally I feel distracted by it, before the patch the vision given seemed like you were seeing what your units saw. Now it's like there is a giant spotlight hovering over you're units and I find it very distracting.
How does the rest of TL feel about the new Fog of War change?

| New one is way better, the contrast is great and easy on the eyes. |

| Tbh I don't see why people are still making a big deal about it, and I doubt blizzard would change it back. I think it's just a graphic peeve for some people because it stands out immediately, but I've gotten used to it, as will the rest of you i'm sure after another day or so. |

| It felt weird at first but I got used to it very quickly. It's better. |

Thanks for commenting! Good to have the opinions of a pro and a mapmaker.
Hopefully I will get used to it soon, I am struggling with it at the moment though |

| I think it's better because it's more clear what you can see and what you can't see. For instance, you might think you scouted the area in the corner of a base, but you actually might have been a bit off of scouting where the 3x3 building would be.. and now you will know for sure there is/isn't something there. I like it. Last edit: 2012-08-02 09:09:46 |

| I like that it's sharper, I dislike that they don't colour it the same as the map fog anymore, it just makes everything appear washed out and darker. |

| The hardest part for me about going from playing the 1.5 beta a lot to 1.4.4 was the fog of war, so I'm really happy that I can always play with the new one now. |

It gives a bit of realism, I think; I like it.
Also.. is it just me, or did overlords get a vision buff? |

| I like this, it gives you a sort of feel that the old one didn't allow for. I really like the idea of seeing almost a silouhette of the object and then seeing it with full vision, rather than it just popping out of nowhere. |

Yeah, it looks like a flashlight from like STALKER: CoP Complete 2009 LOL.
But I like it more than the old FoW. Like someone said in an other thread, it could be a bit hard to really see your vision in like TvT and stuff. I also like how much darker it is now. Pretty similar to BW. |

| I think I got used to the new version fairly quickly, but after so many games, I don't remember what the old one looked like exactly. Anyone got a side by side comparison? |

| Can someone make a comparison? I am not playing the game that actively nowadays, mostly watching tournaments/players stream and I am interested if the change is noticeable. |
