Mazisky Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) Since the last beta update, Dyford village looks really darker at night (before it was a lot brighter) and it is magical and AWESOME. I really hope that every area will have the same treatment !!! Edited March 1, 2015 by Mazisky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elerond Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Bah nights should be bright as day like they are in real life 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h3st Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Bah nights should be bright as day like they are in real life Should the days be dark as night like they are in real life, too? I'm happy I don't live north of the polar circle … 3 Fnord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sedrefilos Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 The game takes place in the equator, so no extremes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h3st Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 The game takes place in the equator, so no extremes Well, at least that'll provide some reason for the (presumably) very fast change between day and night. Up here in the north dusk and dawn can last a very long time, so day and night sort of creep up on you, at least in summer. In contrast, visiting countries to the south I get the impression that the sun can be high up in the sky, and if I sneeze it may have set before my eyes open again. So sort of like the Baldur's Gate games, where there's this cutscene and now the day/night cycle has switched. 1 Fnord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazisky Posted March 2, 2015 Author Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) Baldur' s Gate cycle was visually beautiful and PoE is good too, even if some places are too bright at night (the rainy map with lions, for example) I would like to see darker nights Edited March 2, 2015 by Mazisky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So sort of like the Baldur's Gate games, where there's this cutscene and now the day/night cycle has switched. Now that you mentioned... It would be cool if games that took place in north regions of their world (like Skyrim for example) had similar day/night cycles to our world. Although that would assume the game takes place in a particular season so it would be either longer days or longer nights... hmmm don't know... btw, although I live in the Mediterranean and day/night hours are relatively equal throughout the year, I'd perefere an equator like day/night cycle where day and night are 12 hours each. Or at least the summer-time day/night of my region to be the whole year long - I hate it in winter when the sun sets around 17:30 Edited March 2, 2015 by Sedrefilos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazisky Posted March 2, 2015 Author Share Posted March 2, 2015 This is how the village looked at night before last beta build, TOO BRIGHT This is how it looked after the last beta patch, PERFECT I hope that all areas will be tuned this way. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkWanderer Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Well - PoE takes place on imaginary planet full of magic - so all things could be possible - green moonlight during day, purple sunlight during night and 3rd time of day unknown on Earth (Persona - Dark Hour xP). True - looks A LOT better now. I'm sure that it applies to all areas. After all they are all living under the same sky xP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazisky Posted March 2, 2015 Author Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) I asked to developer Adam if other areas will receive the same "touch of darkness" ) Edited March 2, 2015 by Mazisky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elerond Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I would guess that they have as darkness is done in my understanding by changing global illumination level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazisky Posted March 3, 2015 Author Share Posted March 3, 2015 I think the process is a bit deeper, would be nice to know how it works btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
