The problem is that - as far as I can tell - there’s no way to overcome or outgrow the sunlight issue, which is the promise of a survival/crafting game. Where at first it presented interesting challenges that forced me to use my time wisely and plan when/where I go, It eventually started to feel like nothing more than an annoying hindrance on a timer. The developers gave enough options to make it as accessible or as annoying as any individual vampire might want, and that includes making your blood-sucker sunburn-proof.Case in point: I’m ten hours in and I’m already over the whole sunlight thing. So, is the sunlight annoying? Not in the slightest. Even if you want the daytime to be long enough, you can edit how much the sun damages your vampire from quintuple damage to null, so even if you want the sun to do damage, you can adjust how much. Not only that but the overworld is filled with trees and mountains that provide sufficient cover I even fought a boss while in the shadows! Although it can be far more boring to stand under a tree and wait out the daytime, it isn't nearly as bad because there isn't a lot of it daytime is only 1/3 of the day.Īll of this is even more neutralised because, in the settings for V Rising's servers, you can edit how long the day is, and how much of the 24 hours is actually burning daytime. You get a couple of moments before the sun actually starts burning you, so you'll be able to run to the nearest shadow and hide from it. But, it isn't difficult at all to handle. Now, is the daylight oppressive? Absolutely, it wouldn't be a vampire game without it. I waited half a day to kill them because they were in the sun. Although I'm a sucker (hah) for realism, I wondered if it would feel too punishing to have to hide in the daytime. My other worry was far less stressful, as I was a bit concerned about how annoying it might be to be a slave to the sun. While you wait for the pesky sunlight to go away, you can craft weapons and armour, and I often found myself excited for the daylight to come around so that I could go upgrade my items and sort out where they belong. Now, when I say chores, I don't mean boring and mundane tasks not only can you decorate throughout the daytime to make your castle of almighty doom presentable, but you can also use this spare time to fix your weaponry, armour, and ensure your success for upcoming nighttime hunts. Although a lot of the action-heavy gameplay lies in the night, as you'll be able to venture out and slaughter your foes, you have plenty of chores to do in the daytime too. Here, I'm using the door as a protection from the sun while I work on the sawmill! I'll start by addressing my first and biggest worry: does the sun force you to stay indoors for too long and make the gameplay boring? I was worried that, seeing as you are useless throughout the daytime, the sun mechanic would stick you in your castle for minutes on end with nothing to do. This begged the question: is the V Rising sunburn mechanic fun? Or is burning at the hands of a 24-hour cycle the game's ultimate killer? Unlike my wife, I didn't know how to manoeuvre around the shadows and it led to some pretty serious burns without the added benefit of a sweet tan. My wife is a natural vampire, as she is perfect at hiding from the sun at all times and sticking to the shadows turns out, she's great at doing that in-game too! Jokes aside, I didn't realise how difficult it was to stick to the shadows until I got to play a bit of V Rising myself and found that I was pretty helpless against the scalding strength of the sun. I'm going to be honest with you my first encounter with V Rising was watching my wife play a bit of the preview code that was sent to us because I couldn't wait for her to play as a vampire she loves playing as all sorts of monstrosities.
