With bright glowing ammo being fired from every weapon how dark do ya need it?

Make it too dark and people just turn up their gamma/brightness so that they can see anyway. When this happens the people that try to play the game without making the adjustment are at a disadvantage, while the people that do make the adjustment have an advantage but have to suffer with inferior visual quality.

Nobody wins when a game featuring night cycles is too dark.

The night is as dark as it should be in my opinion.
It's dark enought to change the pace and make you use different tactics,but if it's any darker than this than night vision would be an absolute must have.

I used to think like you then I saw the E3 video.

it got pretty damn dark, i couldn't even see the gun.....but it was only for like 3 minutes since time was sped up.

Yes because in Planetside 2 you are a lone survivor in the wildness. There are absolutely no tracer fire from 2000 ppl no giant facilities that emit lights and no vehicles and spaceships......

Sounds like my kind of game!

I would like it darker too. If I can see beyond 20 to 30 feet, it is too illuminated. We have dusk and dawn as our semi-illuminated phases, so if we add a REAL DARK midnight, we have all bases covered, all experiences covered.

It will be fun and challenging. Fun because it is challenging. Vehicles have lights, courtyards have lights....so don't worry.

Actually being able to sit in a shadow and not be seen....fantastic!! IF we can do that.

IMHO

Yeah, except that in E3 build, as with all FPS games, when you are near an enemy their giant red name will give them away before they are even seen

Just dark enough to make flashlights and night vision useful.

I think the lighting is fine considering the relative lack weather. I also noticed, and I could be somewhat mistaken, that Day 1 E3 seemed brighter out-doors than Day 2, I think that had a lot to do with cloud coverage. Likewise there will be some days that are darker because of clouds and future weather effects.

I'll need to see it personally though, before I come to full conclusion, as other aspects are important to consider (brightness settings on a given system both in-game and via external monitor/GPU settings, etc.)
