    Darker nights?

    With the announcement of them still experimenting on various things, reworking lighting, etc. I feel like now is the best time to bring this stuff up. Especially since they wanna try using multiple light sources.

    At ET 6pm/am transitions daytime to nighttime or vice versa. A toggle/checkbox would be neat which would allow for the global light source to be disabled at 6pm and re-enabled at 6am. Since they transition (or change intensity) exactly at that time, no one would notice it anyways.
    I know not everyone wants darker nights (hence make it optional), but having the moon light up the scenery as much as it does now is too much (at least in my opinion)

    Obviously, they don't want it being dark to prevent you from playing the game, so it's still bright enough to see everything.

    In other news, there is no technical debt from 1.0.
    "We don't have ... a technological issue that was carried over from 1.0, because ARR was meant to kind of discard what we had from 1.0 and rebuild it from the engine."

    There's a degree where darker nights affect the gameplay and where people would complain: "It's so dark I can't see much". However, I think we could get much darker nights without it having any notable effect on the gameplay.

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

    OP suggested to make it a toggle, I don't think anything about his post is narrow minded. I personally never seemed to have that issue with the option that lets you light your character in gpose. Although Ive seen screenies from some friends using special sh*ders that made me blend into the background lol.

    There's no point in forcing it upon everyone as your reason and the others about playability are the main reasons why we don't have this by default right now. But that's not what I asked for to begin with.

    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

    Personally have bad eyes and i'm already not enjoying the nights in 14 "I feel like everytime I log in its dark and for way to long.."
    If its optional I would have no problem with it, but then I would like to turn night off completely as well while we're at it
