Nights still too dark

i agree
maybe @Henrik Nyström has some kind of nightvision or the brightness on his monitors is turned up too high. If you gain a significant advantage from turning up video card gamma settings, then they've made night too dark
dungeons are supposed to have no light and in those cases its ok for it to be very dark, it would be expected even in some cases, but by and large in the rest of the world i'd expect night to not be any hinderance to gameplay. If RP players want a 'realistic' night, allow that from an option in the settings and free the rest of us from the annoyance of having to gamma adjust so we dont get dunked on by the rest of the other community who will obviously gamma adjust to gain an advantage

would be nice if one or two of the moons made a difference to that in varying degrees, sure is dark though
I would prefer for the darkness to exist, but not be exploitable by gamma. I´m pretty sure I read that this is possible.
Lacking that, I agree that they should design a way where the lighting is less intrusive. The parts that the moon shines on are actually a bit too bright IMO.
But let´s not kid ourselves: the "competetive" players will turn up their gamma regardless. There is always a setting that is best for aiming and target aquisition and it´s never the native one.

I think having the darkness limit what a player can do at that time is basically the idea. This way players have to try to do things before it gets dark. And if you find yourself in the dark then you either continue in the dark, proceed with torches or set up a camp and wait it out. Using any light sources would of coarse lead to you being easily seen by others.
But as mentioned above, none of that really works out when there is the possibility to adjust gamma.
So I am with Eldrath that the darkness is good but it needs to be gamma proof for it to work properly.
I agree that darkness have its place so long its not every night without a moon being pitch black.
But it does promote players to go out in the wild during daytime and gather in cities come nightfall.
Which sounds good, daytime PvP in the wilderness and come night criminals gather at city limits and starts preying on people. Back to the good old days!

We dont have mechanically enhanced eyes like you Lord Vader. We cant all be burned and become Irobots due to defeats sadly.
Thats bright ye, we talking bout them pitch black nights where you cant see a meter in front of you.How is this too dark its basically day time
night pvp should be supported. people must hold torches and illuminate the battlefield for their comrades. this is night gameplay and it's really cool that there are nights like this. As soon as I entered the game, the first thing I liked about the game was the atmospheric night. with the help of the dark night, you can come up with a lot of mechanics than to occupy yourself and the Sogeldians.
it seems like a good idea on paper, but what it really does is make players log off for the night, and force others to gamma adjust to keep going. Those who dont gamma adjust will get absolutely smoked by those who do, so they will either logoff, quit, or gamma adjust themselves.
just add an 'rp night' setting so players who want to experience it can, and let the rest of us turn it off so we dont have to gamma adjust. Making a game state that motivates the average player to logoff to play something else is not a good idea. sweet jesus i dont know why SV didnt learn this the first time

Would be good indeed, but not gonna happen. I can see them eliminating one method through one program. But since there are several ways of "gamma hacking" and through many programs. Its like eradicating cockroaches or rats, kill 1 and 5 takes its place.
Night should be dark! If you need to get stuff done in the real game, you do it at night. If you can't handle night time then do it in the day but with more risk because everyone will be out and about.
