Fog of war or Fog

So much fog like ALLLL the time. Even in areas where the FoW is clear. Whole islands FoW cleared but still... FOG ALLLL THE TIME... Its bothersome..Anyone have an idea as to why?
I dislike the mistlands because i cant see anything, and the fog is really starting to make me not want to play.. Thats how much it happens.

Until you accidentally sail into the swamp and get jumped by a Wraith. BTDT.

There are mods both for normal fog and for mistlands. I don't think the devs have any plans to tone it down. They seem to like it. There are mods for the fog of war on the map too.

Otherwise, use your ears when on land, your minimap when sailing, and the wisps in mistlands. In all three cases, slow down.


Its LAME!

I made the mistake of running in the Plains during a heavy fog...went over a hill and into an active Tar pit. Wasn't my proudest moment..:steamfacepalm:

It would be cool to have a spell or something we could use to clear all the fog around us within render distance...

Immersion, yes, when sailing around the plains, relaxing, oh no.

A shame we can't ward off normal fog with the wisp torches
