Map System

[RiversideGuy]

Thanks much Niw... as it is I have an environmental issue as well. Play mostly day time and live in apt. with TONS of windows, so it's incredibly light in here... meaning a "darkish" screen can be impossible for me to see stuff. Seems my immediate vicinity (in-game) gets lighted up a bit, but it's thinks like traversing around a space like Sylphland where I need it more "lit up." Or the sometimes convoluted paths one has to take doing Amalj'aa dailies.

Checked System Config... is it Character Lighting that I adjust?

NB: did some googling, character lighting is about the light on one's character (and those around you) not the environment. Just did the Slyph dailies and it was the end of the "day" so took me twice as long as it would if I cojuld really see more than 10 feet in front of my face!

System Configuration -> Display Settings -> Gamma Correction
is the one that can brighten or darken the entire screen.
For a brightly lit room like yours, I'd set it (and perhaps the Character Lighting one as well) to maximum.

(Or is that setting platform specific? I know PS3 and PS4 have it. I expect how it's accomplished behind the scenes would be different between consoles and PCs, but the desire to have such a setting would stay the same, so I've always assumed it was offered on any of them.)
