This is just part of the reason why alleycat's suggestion to remove moonlit skys all together is just plain fucking horrible.

NO....applejaxc didnt shoot a single shot or do anything about being axed ...didn't chase him or say anything ...hell the guy even poked out into clear view and seen applejaxc wasn't doing anything about being axed so he is fully able to log off if he wishes without it being considered a combat log. HE WAS NOT IN COMBAT AS APPLEJAXC DIDNT EVEN PUT OR KEEP HIM IN COMBAT ...END OFF.

No your confused buddie . It doesn't matter if the moon is present or not ....you can go into several servers that have a mixture of full night or moonlit sky and those settings will still work ...especially the HDR quality one. Go test it ...if it doesn't work for you then there's something fucked with your game or your not doing it right ...i dunno what else to say on the matter as it works for me no matter if the moon is present or not on a server.

But for now dean could add at least options to consume a set amount of food/drink like i said above ...that actually wouldn't take much time at all :) The sliders and shit could be added in later.

No it isn't enough :D I want to silently choke someone to death :P

If you find one test it out and give feedback pls :)

Its good that you play properly ...so this automated system wouldn't effect you it will help you as anyone that's not playing with proper gamma/brightness settings will not be able to see shit.

The screenshots fucking show you that if the moonlit sky is present or even if its not then you can change other options to still make your game bright enough to see what your doing and shit ...it doesn't matter what time or if the server thinks there there's a moon there or not at a specific time...if its night these settings work and my screenshots clearly show that so stop banging on about HDR quality not working my screenshots show that HDR quality does work. So your fix isnt actually a fix because its not actually fixing anything its just removing moonlit sky that makes no difference as there's still ways to change settings to see what your doing. SO NO THE DEVS SHOULDNT REMOVE MOONLIT SKY GAMEPLAY AS IT WILL RUIN IT FOR PEOPLE THAT LIKE MOONLIT SKY GAMEPLAY. And as for the blur ...your horribly wrong as the client wouldn't be able to control it nor would your graphics card it would be automated and the blur would be so strong to the point that you cant see a single thing that the only way to get rid of it is to decrease your gamma/brightness. Its not some simple stupid blur effect im talking about its full scale BLUR that not even a graphics card could change. It doesnt have to be blur it could be automated view distance or some shit like that ...such as increasing gamma/brightness will decrease your viewing distance to the point that you cant see past your own nose if your settings go too high.

In fact check these screenshots out ...turning clouds to disabled enables the moon....turning clouds to very low disables the moon. This ones HDR quality low and clouds very low. This ones HDR quality low and clouds disabled. This ones the same as the first except showing that it is indeed HDR quality low This one is HDR quality very low and clouds very low.

^^ A bit more detail please ? and make sure you cover all bases about making it fair for everyone at all times.

Turn HDR quality to low ....not very low but low :)

The only workaround i see is something like this: Adding an automated feature called blur. Blur would work like this....when you increase gamma or brightness there is then an automated blur effect kicks in and the more you increase your gamma and brightness the blurrier your game gets. The devs could do this by setting a universal preferred gamma / brightness that we should all be playing at during night ...and if you increase the gamma or brightness past that point then the blur takes effect. This automated blur would then be disabled automatically during daytime ...allowing players to then adjust gamma and brightness freely to suit there needs. This should be fair to all players as their still able to use gamma and brightness in daytime where these settings actually matter because of color fidelity and stuff ....and its also fair because they cant complain about not being able to use brightness and gamma at night because its in black and white and color fidelity doesn't matter.....and forcing them to use things such as torches ...chem lights or flares when there added.

Yes very odd. You aren't suppose to have to eat much food as its water that your body needs much more of. But 2 hours without food is still really long yes so did you report this in the bug section ?

You don't get it do you ? he wasn't in combat so why shouldn't he log out if he wants ? He simply logged that all....anyways from that guys side of things ...he axed applejaxc then ran away ? nothing wrong with that is there? no there isn't....then moved right into the door way making himself very vulnerable then looks and sees that applejaxc isn't doing anything about being axed no shooting or anything as hes just sitting there bandaging for a good while and saying down the mic "that wasn't very nice"....then the guy logs out ....NOT IN COMBAT = NOT COMBAT LOG . Now it would be a different story if he shot at the guy or chased him and instead of saying "that wasn't very nice" he could have made his intentions clear by saying down the mic "im going to kill you for that"....That would have been a combat log. Its was up to applejaxc to keep him in combat but he didn't.

Im not being a hard ass ...you clearly don't know what a combat log is and and your bitching about this guy that clearly didn't combat log as well over a minute went past without even a shot being fired at him to keep him in combat. The clue is right there "COMBAT log". I hate combat loggers just as much as the next guy ....but sorry that just isn't a combat log.

What where you doing in this time ? moving...camping...proning...crouching....walking ...running ...sprinting ? These will effect your hunger/thirst meter and obviously running around will drain the meter much faster than camping somewhere will.

Yes lets punish everyone by removing the moonlit night gameplay....thats not a fix ...thats a workaround and a horrible one at that may i say ...thanks for trying tho.

Don't people like you ever think of what you write before you write it ? What about people with shit pc's ? and gamma and brightness is there for a reason ....anyways people will just turn there brightness and gamma up another way if the in game ones where locked, Btw shadows don't make a difference to being able to see things at night using gamma and brightness + some other settings.

Yes because all hills in DayZ are 70 degree slopes aren't they ? seriously contribute something useful ...hes making a very valid point about running up hills.

Its an good little tip ...but id rather just switch to first person then look at my compass then switch back to 3rd ...would take like 2 seconds :)

Yes this has been happening to me ....i usually join a different server but then the issue comes back after playing there for a while.

Noone else ?

Don't tell them about the plan :S

Very true.

Happens to me constantly
