Guild Wars 2

I’m not sure if this is just me, but i have troubles noticing the visible differences between day and night when i’m engaged in an activity or combat, as the visual effects feel very subtle when other ambient lights produce their own brightness counteracting the deficiency of light from the sky.

With the new HOT map there will be gameplay elements that change between day and night, but i also hope that the graphics effects of both will be accenuated to bring out the beauty that each provides to the surroundings.

An example would be some fluorescent effects in lush areas accompanied by a darker sky and horizon, with perhaps owl sounds.

In layman’s terms, i don’t have to have part of the sky visible to me to know it’s day/night

Hi,

Do you have post processing set? I’ve notice a big difference when I have it set to high compared to having it set to none.

yes.. nights should be as dark as the fractal forest

ever play LOTRO ? yeah, this is how day-night cycle should be : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AoEjkewCktc

shame on you GW2.

It’s been discussed a few times (that I’ve seen) on the forums already, but I do agree that it’s a shame and a missed opportunity not to have a more atmospheric day/night cycle.

Somewhere between what we currently have (Tyria as an outdoor shopping center) and the rich gloom of the fractal forests would be amazing. This game could use a bit more menace and mystery.

I sort of agree, but then there are times when things are hard enough to see as is – darker nights would just make that 100x worse. I don’t want to walk around with a torch all the time just to find my way around obstacles.

agreed, I would love to see more light and dark… and more weather for that matter too

I’d actually have a use for my “Flames of Kryta” outside of the Pirate JP in LA.

Doesn’t always have to be uber dark, but making it a bit more so would be welcome.
