Day and Night Cycle

[Scumdrop]

Is there anyway to make the days and nights a bit longer? The days go by way too fast and why is night always so bright?

[SnowFox]

I think slowing down the cycle a bit would be beneficial, yes. I would also ask for a clock in the HUD so we have some idea of what time it is.

[Istandil]

I second that. A clock and longer days.

[Bandy]

Longer days yes, longer night no unless devs give us a torch and\or lantern.

Any aspect of the HUD should be able to toggle on\off, I do not need clocks and compasses.

I found Luminous follower spell, it works good during night.

Is it just me? It looks like the sun is rising but no, it is the moon at 10 PM. The moon is same size as the sun??? Or my eyes deceive me...

That is true to real life. The sun and the moon are the same sizes because of the fact of the size of the sun, and the moon distance from the earth.

I found night to be way too dark. Everytime it hits around 1800, I rest until 0600.

IMHO, there is currently a disconnect with the lighting of the game... No doubt about that for me when the rising moon (surrounded by fiery orange-red clouds) can be confused with the rising sun. (ーー;)

Maybe it is intentional, to make the world more mysterious?

Nights are quite bright, but the days are also way too dark. It's like there's barely a day/night cycle. It's just dim and slightly less dim.

Agree, sort of. Dawn and dusk are confusing, and Nights are strangely lighted as well.

BUT days in my game (and my settings) are not 'dim' by any means, I think you need to adjust the launcher's screen gamma slider (or whatever the variable it adjusts...). I leave this slider at the first setting when the centre disappears, so centre is not "almost invisible" with background, but when slider makes centre disappear into black.

Yes I also think a HUD clock (optional of course) would be beneficial as sometimes it's hard to tell the difference between night & day. (Unless of course this is a deliberate choice to obfuscate things?)
I also think the day/night cycle should be about 1.5 times longer than the current cycles (in game time seems to go a bit too fast).

totally agreed. Right now it is way way way too fast

[doodlepigs]

This is one of the biggest gripe I have with this game so far. The day night cycle is way too fast

[Wizard]

yes day night cycle way too fast. I think double the cycles to start with..

[Flüüüümpel]

Longer Days and Nights would be Awesome that is something that disturbs me in ever single Game its always way to fast ... in many Games you can see the Shadows moving like in a timelaps i hate that and it kinda Destroys the Feeling of all these Game Worlds IMO
