Act II darkness - too much, too long

Personally I find it lasts too long, I'd like to be able to kill all bandit leaders before releasing the darkness..first time it didn't bother me much. However i've noticed that when the darkness is on I'm less likely to play that much POE than when it isn't on.

I dont think it lasts to long but i miss the old lovely pools n streams area - this area and dread thicket did look plain awesome but with the purple over it they lose their beauty...And most times beside endgame players wont return to these areas after beating the act endboss!

It is not that major but I feld that it is a little too long, also pools and streams and the other map next to it are now always covert in darkness...

I love darkness, but not the current way, it should be much more dark that it would make you feel 'lost' on maps. Otherwise filtering screen with only one type colour won't make its purpose at all.

I'd prefer the darkness that The Tainted Sun quest occurs in Diablo II.
