Dear Bohemia Interactive team,
I really would like to suggest you guys a faster day and night cycle. I played DayZ back then really often when it came out and got a total of 600 hours in your game. Now I got back to your game and I gotta say: "Well done so far guys and keep going with the great work!". Back then I also realized that the most people always prefered the servers in which the servertime was sunny. If you don't believe me you can also check this currently on your running servers. I mean when you play at night in realtime and all the servers (about 95%) are also at nighttime (which are empty or low populated); but the servers which are at daytime are always populated with players. This is also annoying because the most servers have their persistence enabled so that you can build your own base and it stays where it is. But with this current day/nightcycle it is in my opinion kind of pointless building a base on an empty server.
For me the day and night cycle is way too slow and that the most players will always change for that reason the servers always. My suggestion would be that it would be far better if the servers would change every 2 hours for daytime and 1 hour for nighttime.
PS: I really love it currently that the nighttimes are really dark now. Not like in the alpha were you could easily change the brightness in your settings and had free nightvision. Now it's more realistic and harder for the people the roam at night.
PS2.0: Please increase the spawnrate of batteries.
Kind regards,
