Darker Nights

[cmohr]

I think this one is pretty simple. I believe having darker nights again would make the game more immersive and encourage RP. I think we would see more campfire RP as people stick out the night together. Even if you aren't a fan of campfire RP, there are plenty of other light sources in the game which are pretty much useless as of now. Flashlights, nightvision, glowsticks, torches, plenty of things to make traveling at night feasible.

I already suggested this, yes and yes. This would make possible to bandits to sneak up on people lexing on a campfire, and that would be pretty dope, but much more than that.

It would be nice to see players actually making use of NVGs, Flashlights, Flares, etc. again...

I'll support this suggestion, as I am tired of it always being bright out. You can still see silhouettes many meters out. It's not true night time. +1

I think pitch-black nights should occur 20%-30% of the time.

Yes! plz, make nights darker! if darker nights are half as great as darker nights for Fallout 4 then its still number 1 on my mode list

Currently night vision and lights are entirely useless and unnecessary, as the nights are bright enough to navigate without them. 

 

Gone are the days of actually being able to sneak up on people in the cover of darkness. 

 

So ill +1  this thread, and hopefully the big man changes the nights.

Any way to disable that weird glow everyone has on them? I can't see other people's glow but i can see mine. It's like carrying a weird invisible ambient light.

Voted yes for this, as mentioned by a few people above night time simply isn’t dark enough, it renders items such as NVg’s etc useless.

[Player 1]

The nights are either too dark or too bright. Can't we have a mix of both? A night that's very dark and other nights that aren't?

The glow around your character appears due to "Brighter nights" settings. Darker nights are just the good old normal nights from what I remember, I do miss them alot.

I hope so. I hate that glow. It's pretty obnoxious.

Voted yes, currently nights are very bright and render night vision googles useless along with other items such as chemlights, torches, flashlights etc.

I still use lights at night for the aesthetic, but it would be nice if they served a purpose

[groovy lamb]

Voted yes! I miss the genuine uneasiness dark DayZ nights bring, I think it would prompt more RP. Maybe some bright nights would be nice though, like full moons and such

I really enjoyed using the flashlight on the tactical helmet or the barrel of your weapon. And seeing them off in the distance when traveling. 

I even found my NVG's to be completely useless now except for having it for the looks. Never really use them anymore even during nights.

I also miss those dark nights, traveling on some dirt road in the forest in chernarus while it's raining and thunder in the distance, desperately searching for some shelter.
