I think this light issue is more personal preference. I need a flash in alot of areas because for me i can barely see. im on xbox. I have read a lot of the comment an a few of you that are PC users and like the versions before 1.0. Alpha. the great thing about steam is just go back to A.20 Or A.21. Play that version. That you like best. Problem solved. Anyway camping in the woods at night. Well it can get very dark. But thats if you have heavy cloud cover or if your in dense forest or wooded area. I been open fields with no clouds in the sky, away from smog and city pollution. Even with a quarter moon still see everything around me. Honestly their are so many factors that can play a part in how bright or dark it is at night. Their fog, half moons, full moons, clouds, tree density, tree high and thickness. The game has a lot of this. Here the thing graphics card and game engines cannot a account for all of these different scenarios. Game developers. try and do their best to do a middle ground for all of it. That looks good on most condition. So that new and old player will like and accept.what they done If new player think its to hard, they wont play and will not recommended. The game to other new players. New player is revenue.new money keeps the game going and we get new updates and content because of this. To get my point across games and video cards and game engines can not make ultra realistic lighting and environments as of yet. To many things. The technology not quite their yet. But every year we get closer. Example ray tracing. My two cents lol

See i dont have this problem your having. Have you tried update video card drives, pcs are a funny thing video cards can get issues with game updates. Or could be a bug only a few are having. This happens all the time.

On the setting with updates setting will keep to whatever previously you adjusted it too. As you know. Unless you did a fresh install. But bright should 45 to 50%. And if your on consoles. Many have adjusted console setting to see in the dark for this game and others. Put stuff back to default. Readjust your tv

Maybe should turn your settings down. I think that maybe in some cases for a few of you. I think maybe they have adjust a few settings on their tv or monitor also have adjust the in game settings to see in the dark. I say this i haven't touched and bright, gamma or any settings like this. E.g basements are not pitch back but it is barely visible. For me i need a flash light to navigate. In basements lets say. I get why they make it barely visible too. It for players can find a way out of these areas if they fall down holes or traps. Imagine this no flash light no torch. A pitch black basement. And no zombies. Finding your way out would take you a very long time. Especially with multiple rooms. Might make players rage quite if they couldn't get out. But Xbox seems fine too me. But i havent used PC version 9 months. I have no clue about playstation.

Just like to say i played ever version from PC and XBox. I made some of the earliest Youtube videos for console 10 years now i think.The has changed so so much over the years. I love the direction the game is going and I personally like the day time full sun. As bright as it is it reminds me how a summer day is. Why wouldn't the game have a bright summers day. Especially if your outside mid afternoon. Have you been it a basement with mid day with small windows at head level. You can still see with out having lights on. Same with most floors with windows. I would say some floors above ground are not bright enough. Especially mid day. Plus its not like theirs a dust cloud clovering the earth and blocking out the sun. A meteor didn't strike the planet. During the day its bright yes , have you been outside lately. Sure looks the same to me. Lol wear some sun glasses. I just think the lighting for the most part is fine how it is. But its all just different peoples opinions isn't it.

Yes no rage mode, it seems PC has a lot of mods and setting that would almost make the game more like i described above. So sad Xbox doesn't have this. I think to, a lot what I put on my wish list setting would be to hard for the developers to do.

so i look at what you described, yes you can set the horde night to 3 to 30 day on random. But this is horde night. night only. As for zombies the setting are walk, sprint, job, run and nightmare. This makes all zombies do this. If you want them to do random actions at night and the day. why not have walking zombies at night or runner in the day time. So if you read what i wrote in first two sections. This does really create the game play style i describe does it. you simple can't not create the setting i described with the current xbox options. But thanks the random night setting is helpful and it is a start.

Wait just incase people say i forgot famous zombie type, thinker zombie or smart zombies they lead other zombie or direct zombies to complete some kind of goal. Many movies have this type. Bonies almost a skeleton, kind mummified, no skin left. Only two movies ever that i know of ever show cased this type of zombie. Very fast by its self or as a horde type zombie. Last zombie type that everyone uses is a sleeper. They Sleeps standing up or sit down and they even find them laying down. 3 types of sleeps, active at night sleep in day. Active in day sleep at night. Or noise activation sleeper zombie that needs stimulation to get triggered. You can find them sitting or standing still doing nothing until a sound triggers it or them. You can get them big groups standing in one place even in the dark. Could you imagine. Trying sneak pass that. Just More zombie lore. Wanted to add the rest of the zombie types. here another idea have all these zombie types call it the Movie and TV game play setting.

I have a new idea, for zombie type. We all know from the movies, their are slow walkers. Which came movies from 1950 to 1980. Then we got the talkers The brains, brain eaters 1980 to 2000. Then their was hordes and runners from 2000 and until now. Video game and two famous zombie Tv Series introduced Radioactive and toxic Chemical zombies. But we have forgotten the most scariest zombies of all. We forgot about the hive minded swam zombie. Example from the movie war war z. I think it would cool and scare to add this too, to realistic setting. Have it to be 1-100 chance in happening. This will have all zombies rush at once and use each other to pile up in one spot and climb up a wall like a ladder. This Idea is part of zombie lore now. Like all these zombie types are now. Just ideas please comment. Would you all like this type of setting.

one idea to add the Random chance of a horde and cool down period doesnt have to be a set time. because if it was that predictable that would be lame. My idea have that to be a random time also. Example. if you get attack by a large horde rampage. that last 3 to 6 hours of game hours. the next attack would be random. The next attack could 6 game hours away or could be 7 game days away you could have many randomize multi different times. Of course there could be a new warning time or system maybe 2 game hours before it happens. or maybe not at all/ tell me what you think.

I would love to see this kind of game play in the settings. A realistic version. (true to life) TTL Here what I mean! No horde night every 7th day. No running just at night. I'll explain. Instead of having a 7th day mass horde find you and attack you. Why make this more realistic. Have this setting instead, make it so theirs a random chance this happens every day not just at the one night. So say their a 20% (example) chances in a certain amount of time. with a cool down period in between attacks. This can happen any day or night. As for runners in this setting a single zombies would have a random chance to be a runner. If zombies are in a horde the chance of 1 or more zombies that becomes a runners becomes higher. (when spotting a human player) This would be my dream setting for & days to die. I think this is how zombie apocalypse would most likely look like and how zombies would really act like. this would be a great setting for more true to live version or game play of & 7 days to die. Please dev think about adding this setting. Everyone please comment tell what you think about this game play setting.
