    Screen way to dark...

    So i've been having annoyingly black screen for a long time, and now it's ridiclous.
    Anyone know any good tricks on how to improve this? I'm honestly at the point where I am running into shit like rocks and stuff cause I cant even see em.

    Took this yesterday:

    Is the problem only in Wow? Look like a monitor problem.
    Not sure if I'm a good guy but I'm working hard on it...

    That will only bypass the problem for a time. Your monitor look like is dying... slowly but it is.

    Used potions for the night?

    The lights from the mount and the lantern are too bright to tell that it's problem with the monitor. Tried to imagine them in the brighter options, they look too fine.

    What? No thats not how that works.

    Its either your monitors brightness levels thats set all the way low, its some insane battery save function if you are using a laptop or its the games settings(if thats even possible).

    Yeah, nailed it...

    Work with your settings, monitor/computer/game/program(f.lux etc).

    Ask him for his settings... hah.
    Not enough content? Change you dislike?
    Unsub or sub later. Give Blizzard feedback, "vote" with money.
    Give feedback through official channels → quit paying.

    Yes, I would agree that the problem is resolved by fixing one of the possible problems... any suggestions on what?

    I had problems maybe a bit like that when Antorus came out. Try going to System, then Advanced Settings, uncheck the box for using your desktop settings, and up your Gamma.
    With COVID-19 making its impact on our lives, I have decided that I shall hang in there for my remaining days, skip some meals, try to get children to experiment with making henna patterns on their skin, and plant some trees. You know -- live, fast, dye young, and leave a pretty copse. I feel like I may not have that quite right.

    Change the gamma settings.
    The in-game gamma slider only appears now when the game is set to fullscreen mode.

    When the game is in windowed mode it uses the computers desktop gamma and brightness settings. Those can be changed through the graphics driver control panel or Windows display settings.

    brightness setting in wow
    turn off your night potion (looks like its on and since yopur hiding your Ui...)
    Is this an ingame screenshot or a screen capture out of program? ty capturing an ingame screenshot and posting if this is a screen cap, as a screenshot will capture what brightness it shoudl be ingame, well a screen cap will also be effected by monitor settings

    Whoa, people here really are retarded, eh?

    Not only I get an infraction for "trolling", but others can't see that OP is:

    A) In the halls of valor forest part as a hunter, which means he might be doing the class mount scenario, which makes the zone switch to night and the trash animals ain't even there, nor other players

    B) Simply might have used the darkmoon night potion, which is exactly what your game looks like then. Monitor settings don't make the sky go black with bright stars. The potion does.

    You need a new bulb in your video card.
