Night Time Not Fixed.

[sumusiko 30]

Today me and friends played at nighttime for about 4 hours.

First hour and maybe first couple hours we could see semi well during the night (still needed to use flares sometiems and thats perfectly fine for me) but later one it got fucking dark like before the patch and we couldnt see shit i couldn't see my character in 3rd person it was fucking ridiculous. so i dont know what changed in these hours but it started getting evry very very dark after a server restart. please fix the night time to get a little bit brighter because if your in a group of 5 people at night it fucking sucks to walk 1 meter the stop and send a flare and 10 flashlights just to make sure everyone is here and no1s missing , while at the same time a horde of 10000 zombies and players run at your for having so much light. (atleast make it noticeable to see players even at far but make it dark still.)

Use Flares, Chemlights, Flashlights, Fireplaces etc...etc. Stop crying because it is dark and go to a different server if you can't handle it. The reason it is black on the ground now is because when there was light reflection on the ground people could just turn contrast/brightness to max and it would appear almost daylight but in black and white.

Ok before you come here and be total fucktard read.

Incase you got no real life or someshit and don't leave your house. Nighttime IRL is not how it is in this game. the Nightime in htis game is just too fucking dark. go outside ur house at night to an open field and im 100% sure you can still see quite alot, because your eyes adapt to the lack of light which doesn't happen here, and now your going to say: this isnt IRL its a game. and i say: rocket did say he wanted to make it as realistic as possible and this is way more than possible.

About the chemlights and flares and so on: yes we do use them the thing is that we should only use them incase we want to make sure if theres a player in x place or if were in the woods where the moon light cant reach making it darker.

PFC check the updates thread in the last update he said he fixed it.

Problem is man, if you have it like "real night time" then everyone just turns up brightness and gamma, and its pretty much daylight again.

brightness and gamma doesn't affect nighttime anymore , rocket fixed it like 3 patches ago

It's broken. You shouldn't need lights for just traveling at night. In buildings? Sure. Maybe spot something and need a road flare? Sure.

The only advantage of night is concealment, but if you need a light at all times then you're even more likely to be spotted than in daytime.

[Fenixx 0]

It only doesnt effect it because its so dark.

[sumusiko 30]

and if you do use flares every 10 seconds ur pretty mcuh dead we killed over 10 people yesterday at berezino that used flares.

Before this super nighttime patch I was able to do the brightness/gamma trick. So I don't know what he fixed about it. It would work for about 20-30m and then I would abort/rejoin and do it again. That isn't really "fixed" imo, but how it is now is fixed.

Don't think I can understand how there are so many items to provide light in this game, but still people complain about the darkness.

try going into a server with 50 people use a flare and see what happens 10 seconds later :)

Don't have to worry about that I stick near my camps at night with my 5 buddies. I am smart enough to not raid towns at night. If I want to raid a town for supplies I go to a server that is day time. So hard...

exactly. u change servers to daytime to raid towns which shouldn't be the case. thanks for actually giving me reason

[Kain Phalanx 9]

Night time is fine because you can choose to not do anything or switch servers to not play at night?

Wow guy, are you serious?

which part of that shouldn't be the case don't you understand? if night is in game its because its ment to be played not to leave the server and look for daytime server . stop being so retarded and think before posting

I did that before that patch too. Why raid a town at night when you don't have to? Wow I really wish you would go back and read what you said... Yes open fields are going to be brighter without this recent change, but inside buildings was still really dark to where you couldn't see without a source of light or Brightness/Gamma trick. So please tell me how you looted towns before the night time "fix" without a source of light or exploit?

why raid a town at day time when you don't have to? at night its actually harder for other people to spot you making it actually easier for you to raid it. and like i said i wouldn't mind being dark as fuck inside buildings or in the woods where moon light doesn't reach thats ok to me but in towns and open fieldss to be thiss black its just retarded

[tactix789 5]

Fixed for me...

Things are still very dark, but i can get around now.

Didnt have to adjust gamma, but changing a few settings on my Monitor made things perfect.

It is funny to see people argue for a 'realistic' experience... but argue against having night visibility being realistic.

[commiedic (DayZ) 0]

So what you are saying is that you don't mind if its dark enough to have to use a light source to find stuff, but you don't like it being black that requires a light source to find stuff. You just want it almost black.

-_- -_- -_-.

i dont want it to be pitch dark in towns and in open fields because thats retarded as fuck. i want it to be only how it is now in forests and inside buildins where flashlights and shit should actually be required to see IRL.

burn please leave your house for once in your life and you'll see that you can see shit at night

Well if you really want it to be like RL then you have to take into account moon phases and if it is cloudy or not. If it is close to or a new moon then it would be pretty much pitch black outside. If it is cloudy then again it would be pretty much pitch black outside. So to get really technical only about 12 out of every 25 days would you have a significant amount of moon to produce enough light to make it slightly visible to good visibility in an open area outside of any artificial light. Then you have to take into account that none of those 12 days are cloudy which cloudy days are pretty common on this map.

So if it were like real life would you only bitch 50% of the time or never because you would just toss it up to luck if you had a good amount of moon and a clear sky every now and then?
