Thoughts on Night Vision

[james2127]

First just want to say that this is a great game! Very fun for such an early Alpha. The new update is great as well!

One piece of feedback and general thought though was the new Bunker map and how night vision works in it. I love how the NVGs are implemented except that they should be wayyy more powerful. Real NVDs, PVS-7s, 14s, or bunks, they’re a full scene change of clarity and brightness difference compared to ambient light, The current implementation is more like turning the gamma up a bit in the center part of the screen. When you also consider things like modern white phosphor tubes and the clarity that the black and white contrast gives it would make the NVGs much more useful. Right now it’s better to just run a flashlight. I hope we can get this added/changed in a patch without waiting for the next 6 month update, but either way keep up the good work!

Agreed. I just use the flashlight on Bunker now, visibility is far superior. I learned that the hard way on my first raid there yesterday (didn't know I'd need NVG/flashlights) and it was super dark.

its wierd cuz im pretty sure i remember the night vision working good before this update as well. Its like they broke the nvgs in exchange for a massive update lmao

I would like the lighting to be sufficient to play the bunker map without NVG. A better flashlight or better lighting, I don't care. I play with the Lumen light on and playing with NVG may be realistic, but it doesn't make a more enjoyable game visually.
