Guild Wars 2

Agreed actually, though the whole weather system imo should be updated >.< seems like some zones are always sunny, some always in cloudy/ night mix. Barely any raid or thunder storms and what not

There have been a number of threads since launch asking for darker nights, but no change.

But I’ll put in my vote for it, one more time.

Please make nights darker. I can only tell its night when I’m playing my Sylvari and she starts glowing.

Agree, you got my vote too.

I wonder if they did change it? I noted in the last day or so that parts of LA were too dark for me to see the ground — I almost missed the bridge from Mystic up to Lion. Right now I’m in Fort Trinity and it’s pretty darn shadowy, as compared to not being able to tell if it’s night without a sylvari glowing nearby. I haven’t changed any settings on my computer or in my game.

I agree with this. You can hardly tell the difference between night and day in the game unless you have an Ascalonian Catacombs weapon.

I both agree and disagree – let me explain :p

I love dark nights from an RP perspective, and it would be truly awesome if nights could be like the dark JPs or (for more perspective) the dark forest in the snow fractal. Put torches and magical lights at streets and paths, give players a possibility to light their way with torches or somehow without losing a weapon slot, etc. One could even improve on that by reducing free running sentient mobs at night and have more wildlife.
However, as much as i love the idea of this others would be annoyed by it. I guess the only common ground possible is an option to have darker nights ingame, but that as the only change; if that is even technically possible. Some people don’t care at all about “obstacles” like darker nights. They want to do their things, farm away, etc. So yes it would need an on/off. That being said, even if nothing is implemented of this, i would like them to consider adding more things like the dark forest in future content.

Agreed it would be nice to see the change/difference between day and night.

I also concur that the “brightness” should be the only thing that changes for similar reasons that Leonie above mentioned, it would bother others.
That being said maybe there could be a graphics option or something to set the level of darkness for the night sky. It can scale from none where the sky stays daytime even at night, to how it is now, to a slightly darker night, to drastic where it is a pitch/dark night. That way people who want to see it darker can and it wont affect those who prefer not to have a night sky/change in brightness.

Make nights really dark on cloudy days and give us a reason to use different light sources (like torches on off hand) to actually see.

I love blizzard in frost fractal, after elemental boss.

+1

There is really some case where I see my sylvari glowing and think “oh, it’s night time?”

Maybe something like the frost fractal would be too much, but something close would be cool.
