Smoke Bomb VFX/Opacity feels reverted to pre-nerf levels
I wanted to flag something regarding Hunter Smoke Bombs. After the recent updates, it feels like the visual opacity inside the smoke has reverted to how it was before the visibility nerf.
I remember the changes made a while back that were supposed to make it easier to see out of the smoke so you could at least attempt to fight back. However, right now, stepping into a smoke bomb results in a completely gray screen where I can't see enemies right in front of me or even my reticle clearly.
Is this an intentional change or an unintended VFX bug? Currently, it feels like there is zero counterplay once you are tagged, purely because of the blindness rather than the slow/damage.
Has anyone else noticed the visibility getting worse again?

However, this change was reverted as of 9.5.0.3 [quote]Fixed an issue where Void smoke visual effects were inconsistently darkening the victim's screen. We've reverted the screen darkening to its pre-Renegades state.[/quote] [url=https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/Article/destiny_update_9_5_0_3]Source - Patch Notes 9.5.0.3[/url]
