The game is just too dark at night [ please tweak! ] - General Discussion

Title, me and many others think the game is just wayyy too dark at night time. It adds artificial difficulty, and will get you killed instantly if you pull out a torch to see. You can't see someone a literal millimeter in front of you at night time. The only bearable nights are full moon nights, which is what the game should honestly be by default. If the game had brightness and gamma settings by default as well, there would be no abuse of it. Nobody would have an advantage over another, as EVERYONE would be able to change their settings. PLEASE, Facepunch. I'm begging you to tweak the darkness at night, make it a bit brighter. It's obviously some odd filter as when it turns to day the game becomes red. Please take this request into consideration.

The reason being is that Facepunch doesn't have the capabilities to stop people from boosting their gamma up manually via NVIDIA/Monitors/etc, so they figured they'll level the playing field by making it pitch-black for everybody. Little did they know, that cheaters now prosper, because ESP/wallhacks are easy to acquire and hard to detect, and now legitimate players are at an extreme disadvantage. Great going, Facepunch.

Ever since legacy you have a rock and a torch, Guess what the torch is for ! Legacy darkness was full dark , My earliest memory of it was running through the dark and into a rad wolf and luckily killing it , got my first loot , Then the "gamma cheaters" started to stuff everyone up so no gamma settings, No one likes the night but unless you are on a modded server you will have to work around it, I used to try to find a sheltered spot and do some crafting and wait it out, Used to be able to use the caves for that , i miss the old style caves. Its a pity about the hackers but they will find a way to solve that one day , we hope sooner than later.

Yeah exactly, see i think if they just added some basic gamma and brightness settings in display options, everyone would have an equal playing field

Night is dark and full of terrors, lousy cliché, but there it is, as it should be. You want light, you make light at the cost of becoming a target. I prefer not lighting a light. Rarely even get damaged by fauna or steep drops, anyway.

True and i miss the wolves howling at night too, They removed the gamma settings for a good reason and I for one dont see the point of bringing it back. and even though i play on modded servers not all of them have ability to skip night

The night is beautiful, nothing needs to be changed.

I'm begging you to tweak the darkness at night, make it a bit brighter. do not agree. I just want to make the night a little bit shorter. even now. summer. in life. we have. nights are short. that's cool. only a couple of hours and it's already dawn. light. as in the morning. ))

The night must be longer, now it is short.

IMO night time in Rust is like "useless"? Maybe wrong word, but you can't do sh1t at night time apart from gathering resources reluctantly or staying at your base and crafting. It's a bit of a dead time, unfortunately a long one :/ at least that's how I see it.
