A few days ago, after Age of War update, I logged in for short time.
While I was in-game I had two Followers with me, and I noticed the illumination bloom/glow around my followers that I have heard a few folks commenting on.
When I logged in yesterday evening, I did not notice the same illumination bloom/glow around my Followers.
My question is: Was this feature removed, or was my client not properly displaying it?

I did not notice any illumination at all, either around my character or around the followers. The nights are dark, as before, without a torch it is impossible in any way …
It sounds like the Followers in my first session might have had weapons causing the glow.
I was running with a different set of Followers in the second session, so that may account for the difference.
I do not recall seeing much, if any glow around my Player character.
Personally, I’d prefer the character glow either be removed, or turned into a personal gameplay setting (since the glow is added client-side, this should be quite easy to do).
However, my personal opinions aside, I think they implemented the character glow about as well as they could have. It is quite subtle, evidenced by how many people don’t even notice it.
I think the easiest way to see it is to approach a light colored wall during the night and observe the wall change from black to white as you get closer.
I guess that qualifies as having some light down there. I’ve noticed that places don’t get absolutely pitch black anymore, but it’s still hard to see around me in the darkest places. To my eye it doesn’t really look as a “glow”.
‘Low’. I changed it to ‘high’ - and nothing changed. Even left the game and re-entered with this setting - no effect.
Something is interfering with the lighting effects for me. For example, none of my T3 altars cast pillars of light into the sky.
