Why is it super hard to see during nighttime in this game?

I’ve noticed since I started to play AO that the game gets SUPER dark and hard to see at night, even with torches and lamps. It’s especially noticeable when diving and basically forces me to wait until day comes back around to dive. But even when I’m just sailing or wandering around its ridiculously hard to see anything aside from just barely around you… I do keep my monitor’s brightness fairly low due to being super sensitive to bright lights (and eyestrain), but even when I do that it’s still incredibly difficult to see, hence why I’m asking here since I think its an issue with the game, not with my monitor’s settings. :<

I dont think it’d kill the dev(s) to let players be able to see more or change the brightness, it might be better to do so given it could lead to better accessibility for some players.

I didnt put this in suggestions since its not really a suggestion but more of a question (not that I can post new suggestions in the first place.)

“immersiveness” can kiss my ass !! I cant see anythin !!

it’s fog

i think i should be able to see. makes the game not very fun when i cannot see anything

I agree, Arcane Odyssey should have a brightness setting (like many video games already do, especially the high-profile ones), it’ll help give the intended experience to players that all have differing screen brightness settings (all while serving as a good QoL feature).

for immersion make it so the screen auto adjusts brightness based on the light your camera is receiving, just like your eyes irl

this guy would fucking hate arcane adventures

I bet you could take a screenshot of an abyssal spot and put it side by side with Arcane Odyssey UI cropped on to a black screen and nobody could tell the difference

I really wish Vetex had learned from Elden Ring how cool it feels to be able to see stuff that’s far away.

true!!

Its not. I play at graphic 3 and cant see anytime

Skill issue, should’ve developed night vision as vetex expected from the player.
Srly tho, vetex makes one of the most visually asthetic pleasing maps and hides most of it behind a fog wall, like, wth

You can ask someone with suggestion perm to do it for you

perhaps… but i do not know who would have that unfortunately

Just check the suggestion tab and DM someone that has posted there, thats probably going to work

Immersiveness = good gameplay

@BlueFighter15 can do that

I would never break the rules of glorious forums!
