Glad to see there's a thread about this. I quite liked the reverb in the caverns but the moment I unleashed the darkness, Oak was suddenly reverbing like crazy. :(
If I like a game, it'll either be amazing later or awful forever. There's no in-between.
I am Path of Exile's biggest whale. Period.

Having no reverb at all would be far more realistic than what it's set to right now...and the reverb being used is very artifical...A convulution reverb would be a lot more appropriate than an algorithmic, which is what it sounds like. I love the game but the audio guy needs to step his game up imo.
maybe a very slight "echo" would fit this specific area better, but besides that i absolutely love the reverb effect in dungeons and caverns!

Why exactly would there be any echo in a free field forest?
I make music.

actually it's no echo you're right. Maybe a slighter reverb.

If you want an audible change when the darkness falls, why not do that with the music instead? A variant that is more disturbing, haunting and conveys an urgency to get rid of the darkness. And what can that be? You'll probably solve it more tastefully but some suggestions might be to switch major chords to the parallel minor to fool the listener, add some dissonant notes here and there, maybe fool around with borrowed chords, up the tempo like in the good ol' Mario games, etc.
Just my 2 cents.

Just stack 20 clustertones on top of each other and make sure they clip, it'll do the trick.

No, 11 would be enough.

since the new patch the reverb enabled seems to be bugged again, the townspeople (and my char) have extreme echos :/
