Clearly only the game environment is dark while the HUD and your taskbar are nice and bright. Looks like nighttime to me but only you saw it because maybe they tested only a small area of the game map?

One of the changes that Survival is supposed to have is day and night.
It looks quite cloudy however ...
Is there any sign of the sun / stars?

In the past I have had the urge to make a suggestion of day and night, but then i realized it would be much like other games for example Minecraft and Dayz, where most people prefer to have daytime..

I don't generally care too much if it is only daytime or has both, but if it is both then i think it should be based on a certain timezone and stay consistent. Perhaps the same time as Moscow (daytime in moscow is daytime in game, nighttime " " )

So somewhere is the world, a player is always in the dark as they can play the game in a certain 12 hour window?
Ahh well - how much is airfare to Moscow?

An unlikely possibility ... but ... are your graphics options in the game as you expect?

well as an old gamer.  one thing to try is full screen instead of windowed.  When a graphic card is windowed it is using the background behind it to also produce the game brightness.  when it is in full screen mode it has nothing else to screw with the graphics.

why do I know this?  I use a blackish scheme on my computer and all of my screens have a different level of darkness.  when i move my window of aw around my 3 monitors, each has a different brightness to the actual game.  so play with pc background (brighten up your life a little) or try full screen

Cheers

My thoughts exactly, someone might always be stuck at night, with the other games that have day and night fortunately there are other servers you can jump on but there is only one AW.. perhaps if they create game time to be 2x as fast? so there are 2 days in game for one day in real life, then it may be possible for everyone to get both day and night.

a normal day is 24h, and if it is dark from 2200-0500 thats 7 hour night lets just say 8hr night 16hr day, so then x2 would be a 4hr night 8hr day, and im sure they can make some pretty sunsets and sunrises

I was thinking to take was is the normal coarse of things in RL  so summer has more sun and winter has much less the further north u go.   and then double it every day.  but not exactly on 24 hours.  make it 22 hours so people don't get stuck in the same all the time.   especially those down under.
