Darker nights?

[Yalana]

It would be nice to see a real change in the times of day when night is real night with dark atmosphere. It could be awesome if somehow it affects your gameplay but it will require some changes in game mechanic. Back in the beginning of 2000 the developer of WoW also wanted to make realistic times of day when people actually needed torches for light since vision was very limited due to darkness at night – it is sad it did not make into release. But I believe most of people are satisfied with current situation and developers wont bother with it at all.

7.0 New Dark Knight move: The Darker Night

Darker nights, with quiet, somber music and maybe different enemies or some types of enemies missing would be great. Maybe with campfires. Aetherytes would glow. I would love that vibe

ooh. I miss the chain fate in the steppes. It was so nice to camp out

I wouldn't mind this, though I think it should be a toggle to avoid upsetting anyone.

Are they able to make a global server side effect a personal effect?

Considering the limitations they apparently encounter with a lot of other things and claim they can't overcome them, I sincerely doubt it. But hey, who knows.

The only thing the server controls in this case is the actual time of day.

The entire graphical aspect of the game is handled client side, hence why programs like Gshade or Nvidia shader programs can affect the game. In fact, with such programs, OP can already achieve what they want with a shader that naturally darkens the colors on-screen or increases the strength of darker colors. Fulfilling the OP's request would be to have an option that toggles a sort of pre-bult shader, much akin to the various color filters you can activate in gpose. The bigger question would be, 'should Square dedicate any sort of dev time to an extremely niche request that PC users can already simulate with not illegal 3rd party programs Yoshi-P has said is fine to use? (Gshade)'

All visual stuff happens on client-side. In this case the server only dictates what time it is, so your game knows what shaders to en- or disable or what position your skybox should have. In theory everyone could play while sun/moon maintain static positions, practically SE has to make these changes though.
