make night darker?

[carlosfc1986]

i think its too lighted up, we wont need torches or anything, we can see till the horizon, i think it should be darker for everyone so we get to use torches, wich can be viewed...etc.

Im not sure what the graphics engine allows, its not always as simple as we may hope, but I truly loved the atmosphere the night gave us in Mortal Online, it really brought life to the world around when night fell. Would love to see it darken more in Xsyon to.

I think I agree. Although lie Exodus101 said, it might not be as easy as we think. You have think of lighting effects, glow effects, etc. Would be neat though if you had to have torches. Would also give a little more meaning to camp fires if you had to rely on those as markers when its night.

Yes night in MO are very immersive, i'd like to see the same in Xsyon.

Back when the game servers came up early last year, night time was SO dark you could not see the ground you walked on. The darkness was so dark that you had to do everything by sound till you got a fire built. Once fire was built you could see the immediate area and that was it. Dark was DARK!

I do agree that it could use a small adjustment, and I hope that the ambient sounds get turned back on soon too, it adds so much to the game as well.

Fallen Earth was a pain to the eyes during ingame nights(and basically there was always night), when sun was shining brighter outside(real life).
Xsyons darkness level is about right for me.

[carlosfc1986]

it could add just a LOT of inmersion to the game, and posibilites. give us dark night and tools to deal with it plz.

There is a problem with this, it was figured that the game looks differently on different computers. Its pitch black for me and others at night. Right now its not so bad but don't forget guys that its winter, everything is covered with white snow, you can see much better in real life too if you have snow.

When there is no snow on the ground I can hardly see anything, can't see the baskets right beside me, can hardly see my own character.

I think it's to stop the confusion of new players entering the world at night and thinking there is something wrong with the game. But ya it would be nice to have it darker so fires and torches are actually needed.

[Draakan]

I agree that it is dark enough. But then again it could be my graphics card setting or my monitor settings that are messed up. If it gets too dark there is always ways to combat it through gamma setings, but I would rather not have to resort to that. I do think that torches are a nice idea though.

Please please please make the nights dark and add different animals that come out at night!

Please man the nights need to be dark and we need torches - there is nothing more immersive than a dark night with flames flickering from your torch.

Wait till the snow is gone. Nights will be a lot darker than they are now. Torches would still be nice tho.

Liking the idea of craftable torches that expire and need to be reignited like a campfire. Equipping a torch in the left hand and weapon/crafting tool in the right would be awesome. Also, placing torches around your camp to increase visibility would be awesome. Campfires are great and all, but it would be even cooler to mark your territory and main paths with torches that sit on posts.

As for the night being darker, I'm on the fence. I would love a darker night if the torches were implemented correctly. And, since I've only seen the game with snow, I can't comment on how the lack of it affects the lighting at night.

Could even have several types of torches... like a Tiki torch that you could stick in the ground to mark paths and such, but also a hand held one. I like the idea of Tiki torches for the paths and lanterns for hand helds.

I doubt this is going to happen now as release is in a few days....

i havent seen the game outside of winter but that aside, in general, dark for night is good

[Saorlan]

Hopefully Jooky will read this as it would not be a hard thing to implement - a quick win so to speak.

Sadly the whole night darkness feature is somehow technically not implemented right. I'm using an ATI 5850 which works perfect in all other games and while playing Xsyon at night I've noticed two things.

1. If I drop my shadow quality to medium from high the night is MUCH brighter, for some reason.

2. Whenever it's nighttime, by moving the camera angle right and left the darkness changes from brighter to darker in a matter of seconds. Looks like a graphical glitch, but if you don't move the camera after catching the bright spot you can see EVERYTHING without any problems at night, snow or not.

I'm using last ATI drivers on Win 7 and playing tons of other latest games without any problems at all.
And yes, I've reported the issue (haven't got a reply yet but oh well :) )

doesnt matter how dark they make it...if they can make it darker....people with gamma turned up will seem as though its daylight, and those not doing so, will hadicapp themselves against them that do.

[wyldmagik]

Ill have to say darkfalls night time and lighting/mood is the best i have ever seen, and that is saying something seeing as the game is not mainstream.. It really does do it spot on..

^^This. I know I will use gamma adjustments if I am unable to see.
