thats not true (the thing about every server being at night). i found several servers which were at day rifght now. i think they are time-reversed. just go and search for them if you dont like night.
i also have no problems with night. if you arent in total darkness its totally ok for me. maybe ist your monitor. also try to lower your settings of the clouds. putting it at zero makes the game a lot brighter. (i dont do that since i find it bright enough in the dark)
my story so far: tried to get some loot and always died by starving or a player with a gun. never lost a axefight so far. finally i got some stuff and some food to go north and im now running around in the Zub/vyshnoye area. i need to find some medical stuff and ammo for all my guns. love the game at the moment and it will only get better when we can cook and make the water "healthy" by heating it up.

Every server below 150 ping when I wrote that was night time, we had 4 people constantly searching. As more got updated to the latest, we found one and stuck to that one for now.
And its total darkness. What I wrote about not being able to run with your flashlight pointing forward is false though, that was probably just a bug that sorted itself out, and that fixes a lot of problems already. But you're still completely fucked if you see a zombie as you can't defend yourself without putting down the flashlight, at which point you wont see anything anymore.. They've also turned off the ability to turn the game bright at night with gamma settings.
I just don't understand why the game gets as dark as it does. Nowhere in the world does it ever get that dark, and your eyes will adjust to it after a while. You would never stumble around not seeing your own hand infront of your face, which is the darkness level this game is at now at night. It was equally dark in the mod, so presumably they want it that way?

I get the feeling that I can hear VOIP convos of players that are nowhere near me, and they can't hear me.
|
Ive had VOIP bugs a few times where someone has their mic on constantly, really annoying as I have to turn VOIP off. Any news about loot spawn times?
|
I heard that when you die your VOIP transmit to the global channel. If you turn off your VOIP you will still hear people in close proximity but not the global chat.

So unfortunately I can't seem to be able to take an actual screenshot of the game, not even with recording programs. Instead, to illustrate, heres a picture I drew myself of how it looks in the dark without a flashlight:
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/EdXSIuM.png)
And its not just my screen. Everyone I've seen or talked to playing this game have the same thing. Its complete pitch black at certain hours of night. Sometimes you can't even see the sky, its ridiculous.
edit: before anyone gets the wrong idea, I'm not lashing out because its alpha. This problem was the exact same in the mod.

Well... If there is cloud in the sky and your in a forest at night... You won't see much more

If you can find me anywhere in the world where its so dark at night you can't see anything and your eyes never adjust, I'll stop complaining

Trust me. Lost in a forest completly drunk with a couple of friends after a barbecue, when batteries ran out of our flashlight (like... 5minutes after we went). we couldn't see each other. So i yelled : "WHERE ARE YOU GUYS" and my friend slaped me while he was looking if there was a tree in front of him (there was my face .. and was not a tree) and my other friends was like : "stop screaming you're just behind me lol you scared me". We fell a couple of times, and when we got up we didn't know where each other was.
We hold each other shoulders one behind another and the first one was just going forward. We started to see somehow something when we arrive at the road. Ok.. I was drunk as hell but i remember clearly that we could not see ANYTHING at all :p

if the moon is covered by thick clouds or if its a new moon and you dont have any light of your own it gets really dark.

this past week we had a full moon so we had a full moon ingame, now we have a new moon so its really dark.
also if you disable your clouds it gets really dark so have that enabled.

The thing is, your eyes adjust. If you leave a campfire or anything with lights and walk into a pitch black forest, you obviously wont see anything for a bit. But you get used to it and will have no problem seeing, say, the ground under you, after a while. This game is just 100% black. No "I can barely make out a big rock in the distance", just absolute black.
Not saying the game shouldn't be dark or anything, but not so badly you might as well wear a blindfold.
|
I've not seen an in game night that's pitch black yet. Worst I've had is mostly black with some grey mixed in.
|
No pitch black here either. Some night time servers are pretty dark but I can manage to get around without my flashlight. Trying to find loot inside dark buildings w/out the light is difficult though =\
