This is the sky

Nighttime is way too bright- take a look at the images I posted- night time line of sight fog is much too bright. The sky looks fine- but most of the time- distant objects look extremely bright and that never changes.

A bit nit picky, but I agree.

although in reality, night is pitch black or very near that without any light sources. I think it helps players more with game than with graphics. If it were tinted too much, they’d get compaints that things are too hard to see.

True, however I think the fog could be significantly darkened to alleviate this small visual issue while retaining sight.

I’ve been toying around with my gamma and found setting it to 70 or 75 makes the game look a lot better. Things seem less washed out, and the contrast between light and dark areas is even greater. Also, Sylvari glows become much more obvious to see.

It still doesn’t bring about a true night however. Anet would have to forcefully bring in the fog and turn it black to achieve an affect akin to true night without a moonlight. Note that clear nights under the full moon are practically bright as day. So the conditions would have to be done on a zone by zone basis to make it work believably.
