It's Impossible to See at Night! - Other threads will be locked/deleted!

[Courier (DayZ) 10]

I really don't have two many complaints about any of the updates (at least nothing I care to be vocal about) but this is clearly a problem if true:

Have you seen Rocket's response to these posts? He doesn't really care much, as it's his mod and he's doing with it as he pleases.

same Daish has enjoyed this game and other players Daish has got to try it out so far have all stuck with it and enjoying it alot so far but this is going to make so many people quit and will make it so hard to get new players interested in the game most gamers play at night -.-

[Yanse 2]

...ITS AN ALPHA...

the real game IF it gets to that will have its own marketing department to promote it and sell it...we are TESTERS!

Daish stop talking in third person, seriously.

there is a KNOWN bug with the respawn timer not working correctly under FULL load(it was tested with smaller amounts of people and worked fine) obviously these things will change. wait a few days then make up your minds...my god.

how about you read the threads from beginning to end before you start crapping on and making ideas about what the developers are doing.

my god why are people so retarded, i really just lose faith in the stupidity of people on the internet...

EDIT: i can see now why all the people who are supporters of the game and that dont post on these forums are the smart ones...avoiding all these little QQ'in bitches would definitely reduce blood pressure :p

[walrus2517 27]

most of you seem to have no idea about this darkness patch check this video before you keep making fools of yourself

Arma 2 staff patched this into the game not the DayZ mod guy

it compleatly destorys the DayZ game play any new player will quit without giving the game a chance all the night time servers will become compleatly empty the game is going to die off because of it

The Arma dev team is making the new beta patches in response to Day Z. The update to break the gamma/brightness "bug/exploit/cheat/whatever you want to call it" was made for specifically in response to the Day Z mod.

It is not likely to change either, so as a few others have said, if you don't like it, then you should either not play at night, or stop playing this free mod.

Everyday someone makes a post about how Day Z is dying and everyday 10 people make posts about their first day in Day Z and how much they loved it.

[kwhy (DayZ) 6]

the new patch's are ruining any enjoyment people have playing this game

it is now impossible to see at night time its not "hard to see" its "impossible to see" you cant even tell if your in 3rd or 1st person mode that's how hard it is to see

this is a video game for people to enjoy not real life there is no reason you should not be allowed to see at night

you cant use the flashlight and run at the same time no new players are going to enjoy that DayZ is going to die off why make changes that hurt the popularity of the game

if some people do enjoy not being able to see at all make it so only Vet servers are like this

Zombies spawning inside buildings is going to ruin alot of the enjoyment of the game as well running into other players in half the enjoyment of this game not just the zombies

players may be inside buildings all the time so your already careful you do not need zombies to spawn inside buildings

LOOK HERE BEFORE YOU POST ANYTHING video uploaded in HD Quality this is with Brightness and Gamma both set to around 70% and HDR set on "VERY HIGH"

small changes can destory games Daish has seen it happen many times

Are you kidding me. This video almost looks like DAYTIME compared to some of the night time moments I've had. If you can at least see the horizon, tree outlines, and beach line then you should be good to go. You don't need a flash light on every second either to move around in this game.

You casual gamers and your instant win buttons.

[MASKOAA 0]

I do think that the running animation with the flashlight should be alittle more steady...obviously its not a gun so running with it and keep it somewhat straight out in front of you wouldn't be as hard.

[dissaifer 3]

The irony is the video posted is the guy is using a flashlight/torch.

your a troll or dont know what your talking about

watch the video in full screen in HD you cant see anything at all

you cant see anything below the horizon you cant see zombies or players

[RealSourLemonade 1]

This is an alpha, Just because your a 'hardcore' player, AKA you went and got NVG's on a daytime server does not mean night times are good. Its not that dark in real life so it shouldnt be this dark on the game.

[MASKOAA 0]

If you could see everything at night then it would make the flashlight useless.

[Cappy (DayZ) 6]

Several things, #1 the most obvious being if you don't like it don't play, a bit blunt thought. Another would be simply don't play at night, would solve this crying issue you have, probably adding to the blur on screen. Thirdly this thread already exists its called 'the one and only: the night is too damn dark thread',. coming in a number 4 would be that this solves the gammer warriors cheating at night. fifth in line is the fact this effectively give you 2 game,. easy mode at day, and hard mode at night, personally i welcome the challenge and depth this brings to the game. And rounding off a 6, if this game looses it draw and popularity to you, and people like you, YES,. +1 from me,. fuck make it even more dark, 24/7.

Zombies aren't real so why does everything in this game have to reflect exactly how real life works? This is a trade off to force people to use their flashlights/chemlights/flares at night instead of everyone being able to see and just run around all stealthy. If you want stealth at night find some NVG's.

[Fantomblu 1]

Oh man..with all these QQ threads, Rocket will have enough nub tears to bathe in for weeks!

I personally like the change. I could see you QQing if you had no flashlight..

Also, just so you know, if it's a clear night with the moon out..you can STILL see pretty well. Notice in your video it's totally cloudy.

this was only patched in yesterday or the day before there was nobody cheating at night everyone has the ability to turn the brightness/gamma up or down

thats as stupid as saying "that guy is cheating because he picked up a rifle" you all have the ability to pick up better weapons

''Its not that dark in real life so it shouldnt be this dark on the game"

^^ erm zambies dude,. zambies!!!

So there shouldn't be zombies in the game because there are none in real life? yes?, did i get lost or something, think i may have taken a wrong turn and landed in second-life forums

[daish 11]

You're faggot. GTFO' date=' Rocket isn't getting paid to deliver this to you. Go play WoW if you don't like it.

its a ARMA 2 patch not the DayZ patch that is doing this

[catstyle (DayZ) 6]

Hey dude, you can atleast see treetops and the sky, you are not allowed to complain!

I can not even see stars, I need to pop flares and all chemical stuff I got on me, and baby, thats the way I want to roll

No the beta patch has been out for some time now, just so you know its a patch for arma 2, clearly you misunderstand. And just because everyone can change the gammer to circumvent the night doesn't make it okay,. i never did, as it is by definition, cheating.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say you probably only ever play on easy mode servers that have 3rd person, tags, and a cross-hairs too

you are a troll

this beta patch came on in the last 1-2 days and will be on the offical client if nobody stops it

i use the beta patch launcher for Arma 2 and the video i uploaded was from a Vet Server with 2 bandit kills

[kwhy (DayZ) 6]

your a troll or dont know what your talking about

watch the video in full screen in HD you cant see anything at all

you cant see anything below the horizon you cant see zombies or players

Your right your not going to see them below the horizon that is where you have to be careful and use flares, chemlights, and now a flashlight.

What you can see are outlines of standing zeds, plants, trees, houses, and even standing or prone players with that much light. And the fact this video is in 3rd person that makes it a bit more easy because you can go prone and not have grass and other items block your view.

I played on an expert server (1rst person only) last night before the patch with no gamma modifications on my end and at least 2 hrs of my gaming time consisted of real absolute DARKNESS.

I'm talking where the screen is so dark you can't see any outlines because your entire screen is blank and the only way you know your even moving is from the sounds of your footsteps. All I could see at spawn were stars and couldn't make out the separation of the sky and horizon.

So what did I do? I basically walked along the water line then moved perpendicular from that and found a road (found by listening to my footsteps) which then I just kept the water or road on my right or left and carefully moved until I heard Zeds which then meant I'm probably near some town or building.

Next step is to use some flares or the new flash light.

Heck I would have loved to had seen that much light during my first hour of game play but the moon wasn't out at that point. Sure it is tough, but it isn't impossible and for me at least it isn't a game breaker.

In the video you can at least make out outlines of trees, houses, and even zeds (the ones that are standing). It is now just a matter of moving, listening, and being careful.

[lodestar 3]

I've seen this pattern in several other things, not just online gaming.

People like DayZ because it posed a challenge. Then they invested a lot of time and learned how to succeed in it. They became a winner and it's a pleasure to play after that even when it's not a challenge anymore. Then everything changes and they have to relearn a lot of things and face the challenge again, with little to no reward.

This isn't something so easy to accept for many people, and they would rather change the reality, in this case the game, back to what it was, than relearn it.

Sure, game designers are well aware of this and there are many methods to deal with this in order to keep player frustration at a level where they are both facing a challenge and interested in the game.

DayZ is an experiment. It breaks these premises. It doesn't aim at balancing player frustration, challenge and rewards. The objective is to get an emotional response other than frustration, and so far it succeeded admirably.

Should someone post a video which shows the gameplay before the new patch and without any "gamma cheats" ? hehe

Night was always dark with or without new patch....lets see how further patches will look like, long way to go until this game will be released.

OP coming to this forums and calling "THE END IS NIGH" because of some game changes makes makes him an attention whore and nothing else.
