Hello everyone!
This is my first time making a post here!
My brother wants to get back into wow content, but he’s nightblind and the day/night rutine in wow can give him quite a headache, as the colours and contrast change, making it harder to focus.
I was wondering if there is a way to prevent this by using the settings for, contrast, brightness and gamma?
I was also wondering if you guys have had a similliar problem!
Thank you 
Just trying to help my bro out!
besides what you already suggested. About turning the gamma and contrast stuff… I don’t know if there is much help.
There is a night time potion to turn everything pitch black.
But one to turn everything to day time? Not that I know off. But it should exist.
There is a toy called Jar of Sunwarmed Sand, which will give you 1 hour of daylight during the night. I use it often because 80% of my game time is after 6pm, and it makes the gathering hour a little less blue!
Unfortunately I’m not sure if this is even obtainable any more 
You might get some mileage out of just cranking the brightness up at night and lowering it during the day. Might honestly just be something to suggest he experiment with and let him figure out what works. Possible that some of the colourblind settings might have less of a day/night transition, but I’m not sure there.
there is a toy called ‘’ Jar of Sunwarmed Sand i don’t know if it’s obtainable atm but it might help for 2 hrs, i hope they’ll remove the CD on it but still, better than nothing. maxing your options on wow and monitor can help too but it would be bad for daytime ,i hope the toy works
And in the usual Blizzard style, the buff is even removed when dying. I call it the LFD wipe toy.
The only alternative is the consumables which cost 10 timewarped badges a piece. So for those you might be putting extra play time into being able to have more daylight.
Bonus genius to make the cooldown 24 hours. Not even a damn 23 hours. Apparently they want to enforce a use for only half the evenings/nights, but why would that be so important when people with a different play schedule can have daylight all the time.
One has to wonder, and I have been wondering for ages, why they synched the game world’s day-night-cycle to the real world’s one. They could simply have made an Azeroth day 14 hours or so, that would provide enough variance so everybody gets some day and some night to experience.
But I am also wondering why OP didn’t simply recommend his brother to play with the visual settings.
I did and found my personal preference for a small improvement in night visibility and put it in a macro:
/run if IsShiftKeyDown() then SetCVar("contrast","50") else SetCVar("contrast","100") end
/run if IsShiftKeyDown() then SetCVar("brightness","50") else SetCVar("brightness","75") end
But that macro also makes quest pages extremely shiny. I couldn’t find a better way.
If you play with time difference and play night setting at the day time it is even worse as you cannot see much if there is just a little sun coming through your window lol
Sadly it’s only obtainable during the anniversary event which happens towards the end of the year. As someone else mentioned, there’s a consumable version with a much shorter cooldown, but they’ll have to wait to get it first and then get hundreds of those in hopes it will last throughout the year.
This is one of those items that makes me want to hit my head on the table.
I have one. It works perfectly.
But it gives you *TWO hours of Sunlight with a TWENTY-FOUR hour cooldown. WHAAAT???
WHO would think this appropriate?? Seriously, how is there a human this disconnected from reality?? I cannot get my head round it.
As others have said, I suggest fiddling with Brightness and Gamma, and putting them on a macro that works for you. I did that with the over-bright Bastion last expansion.
*Thanks to Suzîe for the correction.
This is why I have found that FF14’s approach of having several ingame day and night cycles per real day is better for those who want to have both day and night in their limited play time.
In the absence of that, the game should have easy access to personal day/night toys with a duration that is equal to the cooldown
You know as it happens to be I found this item on wowhead that is seemingly added this patch.
It has no comments and the recipe doesn’t appear to have any known source yet, but hopefully it does what it says on the tin and alchemists will be able to craft this soon enough.
Meanwhile in Bastion
Personally I largely prefer that it follows the real life cycle, even though it means I pretty much always play at night. I find fluctuating cycles stressful. Don’t want daylight in the game when it’s actually nighttime. That is just me though.
As I said to this other guy. To me this is awfull. It is so stressfull having it fluctuating. If it’s night irl, I want it to be night in the game. But again, that’s just me…
Yes, I pretty much always play at nighttime.
I have the same issue in the Ohn’ahran plains zones. I battle to see anything in that zone and sometimes, for me anyway, its day time but suddenly the plains just goes night time and stays that way for hours. My dragon will inevitably smack itself into a mountain. When that happens I just exit the zone or log out.
The Jar of Sunwarmed Sand toy and the consumable version are only available on the Anniversary which is closer to the end of the year. The toy has a 24hr CD so wont be of much use.
Which is why I prefer if the option is on the players and not on the company.
There were times that I wished to control that in FF14 too.
I generally prefer daytime both for the visibility as well as for the day BGM
I wonder if I have a very bright screen?
I pretty much only play at nighttime. Never saw Ohn’ara plain as partculary dark. It does sound rubbish tho if it doesn’t slowly transfer between day and night.
Hello!
Try:
contrast @ 45, gamma @ 1.1
It lightens-up dark segments, while not making light segments too bright.
True. Thank you for the correction!
I just went there to check. I confirm she is there now, right at the bottom of the curling “ramp” down, standing beside Yardley.
would playing on other region help them ? like eu player in us ? time diff ?
I have severe night-blindness. Luckily I play during the day as I do struggle with dark areas in game. My first time in Boralas was at night and I struggled to get around.
I would love a Setting in the Options Menu to turn off Night and Weather effects. There is a console command for Weather (which tones it down a bit but doesn’t turn it off) but not for Night.
There is a potion called sunlight something or other (a bit of googling might yeild more details) which makes everything brighter (I think).
Edit: I should have read the thread before suggesting googling. Good info (as usual). I might get that toy, I have 1000 badges (I think) from the anniversary gifts over the years. Although the CD and not lasting through death are awful decisions by the fun police.
