Guild Wars 2

Plain and simple, the ambient light on Tyria should be tuned down by at least 20% if not more…

Currently I have absolutely NO clue when it is night or day, other then perhaps some effects on my Sylvari, if I pay attention to them… When it was said that Tyria would have day and night cycles, I actually had ‘visions’ of scary gameplay moments, when sounds in the distance at night would alert my senses of great fights to come.

When an account wide ‘torch’ was handed out as some sort of bundle item, I expected to see a darker Tyria at night, one where this torch would come in quite handy, especially in caves and dense woods or other dark places… None of that (well except for maybe that one place in the WvW dungeon).

So I really hope a lot of people agree with this statement (and give it a plus), so that sooner than later we can expect Tyria to offer more truly ‘night’ gameplay. Instead of just daytime gameplay with periodic extra light effects from races and or weapons…

And if/when night do actually get darker, it be nice if there be ‘fire bundles’ that can be crafted in the mystic forge (f/e wood, iron, flint, cloth), that would let players set up some sort of ‘camp’ for roleplaying purposes, and the fire could also function as a ‘torch’ dispenser.

Hmm nobody actually interested in saying anything about this ? … I had imagined people to be more vocal about this. :/

Well then I just hope I got a lot of [+] to hopefully make this happen…

It would take a little more than just darkening things, but I agree fully. Changes in contrast, saturation, and such are needed as well.
