The new night time in horizon 5 is way to long. Every time the night starts i quit the game bc it makes no sense to drive in a dark jungle or desert and wait so long for light in this Game. I am not able to see my livery in the open world that i created or liveries of other players.
The extended night is just anoying in this game.
I am 52, my eyes are not what they used to be.
When the midnight event came I was thinking this is ok let them have their fun its only 4 weeks I can tough that out.
Worst case I tought it would become an anual thing so 4 weeks out of 52 is not that bad.
Then came the poll and I figured this is just a vocal minority on a forum for a game that ha tens of millions of people surely people at PGG will go: We cant do this for at best a few hundred people on the forum, we cant do this to the tons of peopl;e who play our game who have bad eyesight.
Then you guys started stuffing the suggestion box demanding longer nights and PGG was idiotic enough to make the changes you wanted anfd that are holding the rest of us hostage today.
You wanted to freeroam at night?
Hey guess what, the game gives you the tools to do so 24/7 if youwant.
Go to event labs, set a finish lin,e somewhere at the edge of the map, trafic on, time of day night.
Boom within 30 seconds you have created the conditions you wanted without taking anything away from the rest of us.
Make an event out of it convoy up with your friends and enjoy your darkness without bothering us.
You can bring dark to your world I and so many others cant bring light to outs.
You have condemned me to this:
Forza Horizon 5 Eliminator: I hate this darkness - YouTube
This would have been a flawless race with plenty of eliminations but the circle was in the jungle so I had to hide and hope nobody would find me because even in the fastest car of the game I will lose because all I see are varying degrees of dark.
In the video the final showdown I crash places I never crash, cant judge distance nor depth so I completely miss the mark.
And why, because a vocal minority of you selfishly demanded something you can make yourself within 30 seconds in the event labs.
Again you can bring all the dark you want in your world, I cant bring light in mine.
Hope yer all very proud of yourselves.
Have you already adjusted brightness and other colour settings on you game and/or tv?

I actually like the darkness for street racing and head to head races. It would be nice if t10 made an option in the gameplay menu to turn on regular time cycle or set your preferred time.
…
SerIously?
Its the eyes not the screen.
I dont want to take anything away from anyone and I am not.
This came because people wanted to freeroam in the dark.
But with that comes taking my ability to play away from me and others with even worse eyes, and as I mentioned you can play 24/7 in the dark if you just go to eventlab but no it had to be in a way that punishes a ton of people.
I said they should make an option to disable it. But be able to turn it on for the people who want it.
The problem is that freeroam, arcade and eliminator are all linked to the same Horizon life cycle so it’s impossible to separate them.
Not separate them. I was saying that t10 and playground should make an option in the gameplay menu to set your preferred time, or set the natural cycle, no matter if you are in freeroam or in an event. If you don’t like the dark, then you could go into the menu and set it to morning, afternoon, or evening. You could also have an option to set it to natural.
They should just alternate the night and the day with horizon life and solo. As is you can escape the night by fleeing to the expansion which tends to be day when the main map is night.
The dark for me is nearly useless. All it does it cut off my attempts at the PR stunts. It also lacks the charm of FH4 where you had a functioning moon doing the rounds.

So why don’t you just do the same thing you said and make it day. I am almost the same age as you. I like night eliminator. In fact I prefer it. Evens the playing field a bit. Don’t start an eliminator at night if you don’t like it.

What part of I cant in the eliminator dont you get?
Dude everyone crashes into stuff in the eliminator day or night. They purposely put the circle where there are obstacles to avoid. Yes it’s irritating but it’s a game. I can’t tell you how many times I am almost there and bam house, bam tree, bam tractor, bam whatever obstacle, oh know it stopped me dead and I get ambushed by someone in a high level car. It’s constant in the final race or 1 on 1 against someone. My strategy is to avoid challenges it’s a big risk that I will hit something and the other person always seems to have the clearer path 
. I drive around away from people just hoping to find a high level car drop. There are not enough of those there should be more. Not easy but it works. I have to hide all the time or outrun someone bent on challenging me. Same thing happens to all of us and there are cheaters all the time. It’s intentional. I’ve only won twice but have made the top 3 countless times. I’m sorry you can’t always win. I have horrible vision. Nearsighted, over -4 in one eye -3.5 in the other. I have trouble with the tiny text on the screen. Again don’t start it at night or dusk if you don’t want to do it at night. That’s your choice. I see your video you seem to be driving fine. You hit a tree you thought would break, it happens. Fastest car does not guarantee a win ever in a well I don’t to call this a racing game but you know. Maybe you just need to practice more at night it’s new and you are not used to it yet. I asked them for an in game clock. Seems kind of an obvious thing it should have. Vote on it.

Difference is with nearing 1500 wins im actually rather good at it if I can see whats going on
So good it gives someone like me a chance. I mean you really can’t complain with that many wins. Now you have a challenge. Sounds like it was too easy for you. Maybe I want the accolade too. This is like me complaining they made the track limits too hard when they changed them FM7. I adapted. Prague became much harder to get a clean lap on when they did that and it gave corner cutters a huge advantage. Almost every track they changed gave cutters an advantage. That’s the way it goes sometimes. I guess it pushed me to get better though cause most cutters can no longer beat me.

I cant get better, cant see a thing
You seem to have a bad grasp on how disabilitys work.
Its like saying to a quadriplegic to also use the other hand
Dont you see how insulting this is?
People with disabilities should just get better because you guys want to freeroam in the dark. Something you can do 24/7 without punishing us but hey you condemned us to darkness so we should just get better.
Arguing isn’t going to help anything.

No, not really. Talk about a false equivalency. Did I not tell you my vision is also poor? I don’t like driving a real car at night. My hearing isn’t great either… Once again it is your choice to start an eliminator at dusk/night or day. This is my last comment on this. It’s going to be more difficult for everyone at night. Dude, I can’t see the stuff I keep hitting during the day or I would have a lot more wins. I can’t even type this with my glasses on.

Thats the thing tho, you cant have a full game without any darkness
I’ll phrase it in the same way you do: Why would PGG delete night time just for a percent of the playerbase that actually has vision impairment or dislike it?
I do agree that there has to be a slider for brightness AND brightness at nighttime for you and them
