The night should be darker

[Kurotaku-sama 6]

Hello, sorry for my bad english.

The Night in DayZ is in my opinion not dark enough.

I think its not realistic to see in a wood everything at night or in vilages without light.

With full gamma i can see player and zombies easier than at daytime.

I hope in a future patch that a Torch, Flashlight, .. is needed to see in the dark because i don't like it that everyone can see enemys in the dark from 2 miles away.

 

Here 2 Screenshots of me with my graphic settings how i think its realistic i know saturation at the pictures are to high but i hope the Night is getting darker like this because then have noone an advantage at night if they have a bright screen.

The other part of me knows you are right.

If you look at my pictures than you see how I have done it. I made my saturation to 150% and thats enough to make the game dark normaly

I keep my gamma turned down a couple of notches below the default setting and night looks like it should.  and day actually looks better too.

We just need a limit on gamma and brightness. It should be set for everyone and not moved up for 'exploitation'. :)

The trouble is that it's impossible to "set it for everyone" so that they all see the same thing. All monitors are calibrated differently and some are just brighter than others.

One way or another, there needs to be a way to set it. The best fix may be to restrict the setting to the main menu so you can't change it in-game, but people will still set it to the max.

This is a good point and true, but man. . I feel that the game's atmosphere is easily taken away but others, and myself for safety, when we have the ability to remove the all-powerful shading and darkness effect that SHOULD be a part of the game as a way to induce fear and keep players on their toes during night time excursions.

 

I'm unsure of how to fix this, really.
