boring

Basically, looking at sunrise from a top-down angle (which is pretty much the norm) is pretty boring compared to bottom-up. This is because of the image used:

My suggestion is pretty basic, get rid of that boring greyness at the bottom (sorry if not grey, I’m colorblind), maybe just more bright blue sky with clouds like the top, or ideally add an actually sun and bright rays of light at the bottom.

That’s my 2c, anyone actually like that bottom half of the sunrise image?

I do wish it looked blue from more angles, though I think you being colorblind is the big issue. The effect in the last pic is a deep lovely red. For me it looks red most of the time, and I only get to see the blue from certain relatively rare angles, like when going up a steep hill.

Exactly what Lalocat said. THey actually captured the color of a sunrise pretty well. Though, I would love to see more blue on it.

thanks for the replies guys, though I find them a bit disappointing. I was worried that my colorblindness was at least partially at fault for the disappointing top-down effect.

That being said, I still think they could improve it as red deficiency is among the most common forms of colorblindness. I would alter my suggestion to no longer remove that area but rather that perhaps they just add some sunrays to that bottom area like the rays of the sun coming over the horizon so that the red area also has something of appeal to people like me.

I love the blue areas so much I’m crafting sunrise anyway, only need more t6s and those kitten ed lodestones. Just wish it could look nicer (for me or people like me) from more angles.

If anything, update the other legendaries first before fixing this one that everyone and their grandma got.

I guess some hipsters would say that everyone having sunrise means it’s less valuable and deserves less attention?

But, as I see it, if more people are using it then more people can be made happy by improving it.
