Correction, it is brighter now. Must be night time /day time?

Can you press alt+o at night time and see if adjusting your gamma slider helps? As of at least last patch it still helped quite a bit with infravision. Not sure if that is slated to change.

Also you could take a screenshot I'm sure that would be helpful

This is also good advice. Infravision is intended to be fully playable at nighttime, though still somewhat dim. If your local machine's brightness settings are very low, it might seem darker than intentional.

I didn't notice anything earlier with the gamma slider. Default for me is at 52%, took it to 100% and it didn't budge. My dynamic lighting is true. I don't believe my rig is set to an abnormally dark or bright setting (not adaptive or laptop battery). Right now it is bright inside there. I went back and been standing at the priest since my first post.

Finally tried /time. it is 10AM game time. I'll hang around and keep seeing if it gets super dark during night again

I think the infravision may need a little loving and then this is spot on!

5PM game time, noticed it getting darker. Still plenty of light to see around.

7PM game time, no different honestly from 5PM.

8PM game time, a lot darker. Quite a bit. This is probably darker than I remember infra ever being. Been a long time though, but it is pretty stinkin' dark! I can still see torches from my perch by Priest of Discord.

(screenshot) 11PM game time, too dark to me. I can still see the torch, but barely any light from my distance.

(screenshot) 1AM game time, I think the torches are actually easier to see now. I can handle this!

2AM game time, no change from 1AM as far as I can tell.

(screenshot) 4AM game time, starting to brighten up. Much brighter than before. Definitely bright enough to do anything in Oggok.

(edit)(screenshot) 7AM game time, day time!

Thats as far as is probably worth standing around for. It is obviously tied to day/night cycle. I wish I had taken the 8PM screenshot. That is pretty much when it is "close" to being too much. 11PM is just too much. 4AM and you are good to go.

Note: All of this is from Priest of Discord in Ogguk. Also, I didn't think to do screenshots until 11PM. Sorry [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

*Gamma changes haven't done anything that I can notice. Tried higher and lower.

**In images, please ignore my UI. This guy is fresh spawned and I spent 10 seconds on UI before I noticed it was so dark. I know it is horrible!

Your 1am post is the darkest, but is still in line with what I would expect with infravision - otherwise you wouldn't see any texture detail unlike races with night blindness. You should be able to increase your gamma or monitor brightness locally, if needed. Most players in classic, even with infravision, carried a lightstone in their inventory for this reason.

Ok, thanks for the update. Guess I forgot how dark it got. I should have taken some pics next to torches as well, and around the hill toward SK guild. But alas, I didn't think of screenshots until it was too late.

Thanks for looking at it! Sorry for technically wasting your time [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The wall to my right is permanently dark no matter what direction I face. So are several other spots where darkness is unchangeable.

Is this how it is right now?

If you zone in during the middle of the night, there is a bug that doesn't update the moonlight. We have a fix for this in the future. The moonlight will light the ground in blue in that area of Freeport as long as nothing is obstructing the moon (buildings, walls, etc).

The narrow pathway's walls in that section will both be black around 11PM - 1AM because the moon will be directly above them. In the early part of the night, the west wall be moonlit. Later in the night, the east wall be moonlit as the moon begins to set.
