Ok so first off, i like the idea of immersion, of night time in general. The whole idea of immersion and the survival aspect. But honestly, I log off. I just log off. I have a flashlight but in truth its not really that big of a help in navigating around. I liked another players idea of the idea that our eyes do adjust somewhat to darkness after a time. The thing that bugs me is, most real nights are not so black that u cant see your hands in front of you. Many nights the moonligt allows you to see. Not so in dayz. It is so obvious in server numbers that a large majority of other players do as i do and log off until daylight. Server numbers drop drastically.
Secondly, it feels like the daylight hours are less? I dont honestly know but it feels like the majority of the time its dark or raining. I like immersion but i think its a bit overdone to be honest. I love this game, but the one thing that is keeping me from playing it more is the dark.
