The screen is gloomy. Looks like fog. Hazzy. The color is faded.

Is this a Quest condition ? Looking up I see black. >:(

sounds like a bad case of video card... perhaps you could update your video driver

only in that section. Out side SW. >:(

Perfect visuals in town and other realm locations ie: Darkshore.

Only happens in SW.

All other realm/locations are fine.

When U enter the game it is fine for a millisecond then flash fades.

Compare the in game visual & pop up boxes.

Compare it to this one right before existing town.

That is how it was previously. Outside as well and is in other realms/location.

When U step out it fades out. Only happens in SW.

That's... game shadows from the gates. You can disable shadows in your video settings.

From what I recall, last time I was outside, real life had shadows too... from what country are you Femme Fatale? You don't have shadows there? :s

The colors are faded. It is not the shadows.

This fading or haze just recently happened. It does NOT happens in other locations in the game. In Darkshore the colors are just as vibrant.

I don't see any fading or haze on those screen shots. The fog on the first one is the game weather, it may rain or mist on low level zones.

How bout u try logging in during day time when there is no darkness or fog(ines)... log in tomorrow between 7 and 18 ST and check if its still like that

Might this be normal "environment" visual ?

Might someone check and see if they can detect a visual change when existing town in SW.

Thank U all for the help.

It's part of the game, the client to be precise. There's much more to notice than this. One day, keep an eye on the sky when you're heading to Icecrown from Dalaran, and you'll understand why this happens right when you leave Stormwind.

Let me make this even more clear than it already is. Each area has its own environment and weather, and the game was designed in a way that makes you directly notice these changes upon entering the new area. Elwynn is either foggy/rainy or sunny. Stormwind is never foggy nor rainy, so it's always sunny. Therefore, if it's foggy in Elwynn, you'll notice it right upon exiting Stormwind.
One step for a new climate!
