This is something I discovered during last week's event. Since the large update with the new UI, etc... I have seen none of the old effects of drunkeness either. Let me rephrase...since that update is when I "noticed" the issue.

go to a mission drink 5 rice wine at once before you go fight a monster and you will c the drunkiness. or rather you can't c a thing on your screen

Hmmm.. I thought it was some silly thing that was going on with my grapics card.. but I can no longer see the effects of being drunk onscreen.. but the time keeps going up for the Drunkard title....

Its a shame a big shame

Are you sure that you aren't drunk in real life, and just can't tell the difference?

Cherno · Aug 15, 2006, 06:11 PM // 18:11

I have been working on mine this weekend and have no problems seeing the screen go grey or fuzzi while drinking.

I drink three right away, then after 1 minute drink 1, repeat 1 drink every minute.

What do you have your graphics settings at? Do you have post processing effects turned on? Which version of DirectX are you using?

yo home boi · Aug 15, 2006, 06:17 PM // 18:17

Everything is fine on ma Grapics i drink 5 then w8 3 mins then drink another 3 like that and NO drunkness

Cherno · Aug 15, 2006, 07:03 PM // 19:03

Don't know what to tell you. Mine works fine.

Former Ruling · Aug 16, 2006, 04:24 AM // 04:24

You have to check your Post Processing Effects option...

If it is turned off...Drunkeness isn't that much different than non-drunk,

Check your graphics quality slider. drunkeness doesn't display at low quality.

RPGmaniac · Nov 14, 2006, 05:54 AM // 05:54

that would explain when i did the orchard quest i didnt see my screen get funky at all after 15 drinks...

i have seen some people blurt out the lines u see when people are drunk though, but it has become a rarer thing from what ive seen

Puddin Cheeks · Nov 14, 2006, 01:39 PM // 13:39

Maybe Anet realized that when you get drunk it doesn't look like that in real life. They came closer to making it look like we are doing acid.

Antheus · Nov 14, 2006, 03:04 PM // 15:04

It happens if you turn down graphics detail. This also eliminater the portal distortion effect, and probably a few more.

It's also a little help to finish the drinking competition in orchards mission.

It may also vary between different graphic cards.

I had the same problem.
Go to options/graphics and check the box for post processing effects

xxSilhouette · Nov 14, 2006, 05:49 PM // 17:49

Ive noticed a lot of changes in how your screen looks - mine now, when i drink regular dwarven or hunters ale, instead of just getting really blurry, it kind of warps - like your looking at a funny mirror - the head on your character is small, and gets bigger and whatnot.

But over the summer when i was at my cousins house, i used her laptop to play so i could do the things in the dragon festival, and she could get drunk - and it was couting minutes, you just couldnt see it - So im guessing it has a lot to do with your computer/graphics card.

I was drunk for about half an hour last night, the graphics were in full effect
