    There is a 10 or 15 min shift between the sun and its actual light.

    On "morning", the sun is rising but the planet is still dark (visible on north-east cost), and on "evening" the planet is still lighted after the sun disappeared in the sea (visible on south west-coast).

    Maybe you can fix this?

    Start hunting recently, I find it is really hard to see mobs at night. I was going to post a thread about adjusting night but your first, so I think I just post here :p. I hope can find some free time to adjust night again, it is really dark and annoying when hunting at night.

    I think we just have to resign ourselves to the fact that some like it light, some like it dark... and they can't please everyone. However, with more and more planets, the problem is only going to get bigger. Hopefully MA will give us control over brightness in windowed mode.

    This thread was not about the night too dark, I agree it's better now than in the first days of VU10... :)


    The topic was about the shift between the sun and the actual light. You are thinking... why worry about it? :confused:

    Well, I don't like hunting in the dark for two reasons:
    - I need to clearly see my target, check the distance, as I tag in the max range of my weapons then walk back when the mobs comes.
    - EU is a game where I want to evade from RL, so I need fresh blue sky and bright sun everyday!

    And now, the shift. When I logon, I look at the sky and estimate the "time" of day. Sun at east means "4h hunting, sun at west means logoff and try agin in 1h. (On Caly I switched continent but here there is no way, when it's night, no way to see the sun).

    This is the reason why the shift is confusing me, looking at its position in sky doesn't give me the remaining play time.



    By the way, since Caly just switched to a 2h cycle, and before Ark team decides the same mistake, here is a suggestion:
    - have a part of the planet always night, say north,
    - another one always sun, say the south desert,
    - and let the normal cycle in between.
    This would make all people happy, and the nostalgic of the always sunny PE as me could hunt 5/4 of what they do now!

    I want night vision POV. Kinda like scopes, but wear on head.

    Hehe me too, night vision and also thermal vision, as in Splinter Cell. :)
    There is Nanovision in Crisis 2 so that must be in the engine.
