    ZOS, if you wanted to make me buy the chapter, you HAVE DONE IT!

    The colours, OH THE COLOURS!
    (yes, I love reds, oranges and yellows, as well as the autumnal motives)

    When I defend my M.A., I'm buying it - as a reward, or as consolation

    It's just the Gold Road background, right? Not like... an entirely orange tint to everything?

    But all the characters are tinted in orange. Did they all suffer from jaundice?
    Anyway, the online/offline status thing seem to be not addon related. I rename my addon and variable folder and still can't change my status.

    Thanks, we are going to work on getting this fixed. In the meantime as a temporary workaround, it appears as though you can change this setting by swapping to Gamepad Mode.

    Yeah it's not so bad if I wear my sunglasses, LOL! I can see this being an issue for people with eye problems. The colors are so bright.

    I live in Texas. We don't have autumn leaves here. :) It's pretty but bright. I guess I haven't seen autumn leaves in years and forgot how bright they are.

    Click a few pixels (~5-10 pixels) below the arrow, this will open the dropdown menu to change the online status.
    There is a small space where the dropdown menu opens.

    It looks like sunset in the autumn; the autumnal colors coupled with the golden hour lighting. I think it's quite beautiful. This is the kind of thing I purposefully sought out when I went on photography trips during the autumn leaves season in the Appalachians.

    I hope that the new background is more golden and Autumnal, not "pumpkin orange" which some descriptions are seeming to indicate.

    Call it the "Pumpkin Spice" chapter instead? LOL :D

    Personally I like it. The previous harsh overhead light in the character select was a bit unflattering for my characters, now the light seems to come from a bit lower, like it's sunset :)

    It burns precious!!! The shining it burns us!!!!!

    But seriously on the character load screen, I like the golden shiny but it is a tad strong (especially on certain metallic textures). Might want to turn that down a bit. Not saying to git rid of it, just turn it down a little.

    I do wish we could choose our select screen.

    I find this one really visually distracting. It's incredibly harshly lit, and it makes characters with light hair look completely washed out while keeping their face hard in shadow.

    While I don't tend to care about the location we're set in in any update, the fact that the lighting on the character select screen was always pretty neutral was a good thing for taking screenshots to use as references or something. The lighting here is almost as harsh as the tutorial character creator now, which really makes it difficult to get any idea of the natural colors or anything. And with this, there's now nowhere you can go in game that gives you consistent natural daylight (since housing is still subject to weather, and my game seems to roll rain more often than anything else).

    I think the screen is too bright and it comes across as a fall scene which is strange since it's now almost spring. But maybe Tamriel has different seasons, or no seasons.

    This game is really starting to become an unplayable pain for me. Can't wait to quest in this mexican/mars filter zone with arcanists casting their laser rave beams, people using flashbang mounts, weapon styles and casting Legionnaire's Recall. Meanwhile of course my nightblade is made into a hazard light.

    When do we get the option to change the background like we can change the music? Because I don't want this, this is hurting me, and I'm saying it as someone who often like autumn and such colours. This is just too saturated.
    [Lie] Of course! I don't even worship Daedra!
