Exactly thedogfoodyayho! you were scared and it was intense. That's what I'm on about, that feeling you get when its so dark you have to be cautious. I want that to be a permanent part of the game at night. I miss it :( and yea some nights gamma doesn't affect that much when its really dark. either way imo only one way to resolve over all is no gamma adjustment. Mazzar, ok so its not ruined but it sux (imo). So what if you cant tell if they're your friends, you can SEE THEM when you shouldn't be able too, that's my point, whats the point in hiding in shadows when they're now grey and don't hide you. I want to be able to use the darkness to walk right up to people if I'm good enough. With gamma up I throw away my nvgs. That ain't right. Please make this game what its meant to be rocket! HARDCORE!!!!!

I strongly agree raynor, their priorities seem a bit off.

Does anyone else agree that the gamma adjustment bar in options needs to go? I remember the first time I played dayz mod, was one of the first days it came out. Walked into cherno for the first time on a night server, could hardly see except for my flashlight and a few flares in the distance. I FELT LIKE I WAS IN GAMING HEAVEN (beside early bugs of course). I hadn't played arma2 at all before so the game at night looked amazing to me. It felt so intense. Having to use flares wisely or not at all and just using your flashlight a bit to check around made the nighttime all that more exciting and unpredictable. INTENSE! That feeling I MISS. Now that everyone is aware of the gamma adjustment, the game at nighttime isn't the same. I hate using it of course but I'm going to up my gamma when I'm sure everyone else in the game is also doing so. I'm not going to gear up spend hours playing just to be shot by someone I cant see cause I want to be immersed, and they want to be cheap. So I'm forced to also use gamma "hacks" (I know its not actual hacks) to keep an even playing field. Cause that's what its all about right? fair gameplay, no cheats, no thing to give others an advantage at the GREAT loss of graphics and gameplay and immersion which most want to enjoy. Come on guys please back me up on this I want this Standalone to be all it can be and I feel this is the ONE GAME BREAKER at the moment. What's the point in flash lights, flares, gas lamps etc when everyone is using gamma to see anyway. Having no gamma changes the nighttime game play SO much I feel. If gamma stays as a bar in options there is no point in nighttime at all, and that would be very disappointing indeed.
