Night time brightness xbox

[Indian gin UK 0]

I've noticed since the 1.07 patch night time has been considerably brighter . So much that there is no longer any use for torches glow sticks etc. I have tried quite a few different third person servers and it all seems to be set at the new brightness. For me personally this is a huge step back wards as it takes away much of the atmosphere of the game. Can any one tell me if this has been implemented across all servers or just a few on Xbox? Thanks in advance.

I believe they've set 1PP servers to the darker night and 3PP server to the brighter night. Community servers can set this any way they wish.

Ah that’s good to know. Might start giving the 1PP servers a go. Far too bright at night now.

Well that is whack about the 1pp and 3pp nights. It felt like something was different with the lighting, but I couldn't pin it.

How about sticking to a cohesive vision (no pun intended) instead of catering to nonsensical whining, then dancing at the beckon of the entitled? I just want the game to be sim. As intended.

Hopes for the future of DayZ mildly shaken at the thought of what is being considered important in the development agenda. I can't believe the "It's too dark at night" idiots actually won. Without light pollution, nights without a more than half-full moon can be really dark, especially in the forest, and even more so when there are stormy skies. At this current juncture, lighting at night is not immersive.

I play on 1pp server and the nights are like some bad cartoon.

PVP is harder with dark nights.

Have noticed this with Official servers on PC too, quite the annoyance. 

Spent months farming for Night Vision Goggles just for them to be made redundant by the brightness of night time.

You can play in 1pp servers, they have the dark night setting.

You can also play on a community server in 3pp with the dark night setting.

If he spent months farming NVGs on his chosen server, and it was private or 3pp, all of his investment was made to be instantly wasted away by an arbitrary design decision.  

Make the hardcore game we were all promised from the beginning.  Let modding dumb down the settings to arcade mode if they want; or label such public servers "easy mode" and let the market decide.

I remember when 1PP used to be called "hardcore" and 3PP was just regular. But they removed the labeling in patch 0.48, because apart from the camera, the gameplay and survival mechanics on both types of servers were the same. And besides being misleading, it may have offended some 3rd person players.

But I guess with this change, the 1PP can be called "hardcore" again.

I kinda liked when night time made everything seem grey-scale lol. Maybe that's just sentimentality though. When I played 1.09 it was super dark. Now I'm playing 1.10 exp and the night time is sometimes hard to notice because I can still see just as well as when the sun is starting to set. Imho if it were somewhere between those 2 I would be happy lol. From experience walking alone in the woods at night it can be blindingly dark (it's scary I don't recommend it). However, if the moon is full out, it's very visible in open spaces. I think moon and clouds determining night time visibility would be awesome.
