The lights are a great addition, atleast for the nubian houses. They were really great designs, but very dark aswell. So good we got lights to brighten them up alittle.


Unfortunatly I was forced off Naboo by the rebels, which pretty much turned me Imperial (great job gathering support, rebels :smileyvery-happy, and are now living on Corellia. And I must say, the bright walls in a Corellian house ruins the light from the lamps, as the already bright walls become even brighter with lamps in the rooms.


I suggest keeping the wallpainting white, but lower the lightvalue on them when there is no lightsources in the room. Let the lamps show the room for it's real colors, not the walls.


Also, while we are on about lightsources and such, campfire is ridiculously dark. They barelly light up the fire itself. You need to increase the lighting value on the campfires, preferably to the value and range that your personal light does, that should be more than adequate.

How are the new lighting objects working for you? Not well! My house is darker now so as to make sure I need them, but I still have the same house item limits, so I cant put as many in as is needed!


Did you craft them? What decay lifespans were you able to achieve? No. Longest I've bought were 30 days + some hours... at the end of that lifespan however, they still illuminate my home! Why buy more?


Did you purchase them? Yes.

If you don't want me to "play the forums," then I suggest you make time playing the game more rewarding and less repetitive than "playing" here!

I bought them not knowing there was a lifespan. Better documentation please.
