Dark and Light advanced weather system - Nightfall Transforms the Map from Friendly to Frightening

Dark and Light's weather and day/night cycle influences the gameplay and environment, improving on the already highly developed weather systems found in many sandbox games.
Daylight lasts about 50 minutes in real time and is ideal time for exploring far and wide. Hunting is safest during daylight hours as many creatures are less aggressive, and players are less susceptible to surprise attacks. Of course, on a clear day with no rain, players will be able to enjoy miles of visibility from high altitudes, and can experience breathtaking views of Dark and Light's expansive scenery.
Dark and Light's world becomes increasingly dangerous as night falls. Plenty of menacing creatures imbued with dark magic lurk in the forests at night, and some creatures become incredibly aggressive when the sun has set.

If that top screenshot is anything to go by, the mobs are so densely packed in DnL that each AoE attack will kill five...

But it will be multiplayer-PVP, so all the PVP'ers will either turn up the gamma until there is no darkness, or use radar hacks to find targets in the dark. The player in that screenshot is using his "Gank Me !" signal, he's carrying a light in a PVP game...
If you look at the screenshot in depth, you'll see that it's just bright ass colors that make it appealing. If you look at the detail of each area, the dinos skin, trees, grass, etc, you'll see that it's not all that spectacular...
next thing to come: mobs having a state towards you, based on groups, and how many you killed of them.

We have no idea what the developers have done with the Dark & Light code. I suppose it is nice to speculate, but that is all it is, speculation.
Night time is from 20:00 >4:00 8 minutes game time so about 10-12 minutes real time and again seems fine.
So 50 minutes will be a very long time in the dark,many people only play for an hour tops then take a break so their entire time will be playing in the dark.IMO it is too long but would have to try it to see for myself.
I think i would worry more about the game itself and the publisher,this looks like ARK all over again to me,trying to sell a half ass game based on Dinosaurs.Who knows really,what i do know is no way would i give any gaming company money up front without first having a real good look at the game,better yet actually playing it.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
Or they can just have interesting gameplay at night, for example, have specific bonus, or types of monsters / bosses that would come out at night alone, that'd be interesting instead of the typical "wait until sun rises".
