What did you do to Coldharbour, ZOS?

Elara_Northwind · February 2021

For a while now, I've noticed a really bright new 'sun' in Coldharbour. It was so bright yesterday that it was pretty much blinding! It's completely ruined one of my favourite houses for me, and no matter how many times I ask about it, ZOS have never given an explanation as to why they have done this... Please fix Coldharbour

That's an older glitch, but I don't see any hints about how to fix it. The sunlight should only be in the Hollow City. https://www.reddit.com/r/elderscrollsonline/comments/esxiji/please_tell_me_im_not_crazy_coldharbour_in_the/

The thing is, it's not daylight. The sky is still as dark as ever, but there is this new 'spotlight' in the sky since Greymoor, and I can confirm that everyone I have asked about it in game have also said that their Coldharbour is much brighter now and/or they occasionally see this spotlight, either in your face like this or sometimes it only shows when you place an item like a tree in front of where it is...

It's almost like they 'toned down' the spotlight in Shalidor's house (That is still too weird and bright though) and thought to themselves 'hey! Lets put one of these god awful lighting effects in Coldharbour Surreal estate too!"

Yikes, that needs to be fixed ASAP! If older motifs, etc. acquired relatively cheaply in game will not be changed (and I agree with this unless resolution could be improved without changing the look, but that’s another matter), how much more so for a property that costs over a million gold or 5k Crowns! And one which many have put much additional time into to furnish besides!

Huh, then I haven't seen that yet! Maybe I'll take a trip to my guildmaster's house to check it out. Seems like an odd choice if its not a glitch since ZOS tries not to change cosmetic stuff after the fact.

It is really odd! Part of that homes appeal was how dark it was, so it’s just ruined for me now personally. Not to mention how much of an eyesore it is at certain times of the day when the ‘spotlight?’ Is shining brightly like that...

Before Greymoor it was dark and gloomy, how a house in Coldharbour should be! I don’t know what they changed but they most definitely changed something.
