shroud of darkness and accessibility

[SubjectThrone31]

The shroud of darkness event needs to go. The only thing it does it make it impossible to play if you have eyesight problems. I'm ok with games normally but have trouble making out details in darkness and this translates to games too when you make the whole screen black save for a small circle around the character.

When the shroud kicks in all I can do is just stand still and hope nothing kills me. For a berserker run or on map 2 onward that's instant death. Especially since there's no iframes from taking damage and each second of contact just melts player HP.

Some attacks give off light, sure, but it's still very dim and barely helps. And if I have to pick my build by the amount of light produced instead of what helps me survive then what's the point.

I really do not understand what led to this design decision. Having monsters just pop up on top of you with no time to react is not how you increase difficulty. I hope some accessibility options can be added to disable this event completely (or at least to reduce the darkness or add more light sources).

I have 20/20 and it's a major PITA. It's way too dark and makes surviving in some builds extremely hard. I agree 100% it needs to be removed or just dim the screen not black it out.
