It's just blah...and as soon as you sacrifice your flashlight for a pistol so you can defend yourself it becomes impossible to get back out of major cities at night...=/ and getting nightvision takes traveling to areas that really aren't the most friendly.
I am aware EnermaX but a Lot of them have no shifted to 1.7.1.4 yet. Most if not all of the Atlanta/NY/VA servers I've been watching have not been shifted to have altered timezones. They run on the standard clocks.
I am one of many people on earth who actively work during the night and sleep during the day...and I am now since 1.7 running into an issue of being unable to play this game anywhere that isn't nighttime on the server... I live on the East Coast of the United States, and at 3am (Like at the moment) I am awake and I want to play...and obviously every US server running the current 1.7.1.4 patch for a reasonable 30-90ms is nighttime. So I try other countries: Lithuania servers 150ms -> Nighttime Russian servers 175ms -> Nighttime EU / NetherLands servers 130ms -> Nighttime Obviously the option would be to join a KR or JP server but I can't find any as my ms would be well into the 300s and well beyond unplayable with this current Zombie bug of and amount of non-crawl movement agro-ing everything within 200m. As well as starting with nothing but a flashlight now. I love the concept that this game is "Real" to as much realism as possible but can't it be a "game" in some aspects too...I don't mind having nighttime but can't it work more like the old Zelda: Ocarina of Time model where daytime is slowed down to last longer and nighttime is sped up by 30x so that is passes much faster than daytime so the effect is the same...but that you can actually enjoy the game at any hour of the day? Because currently playing DayZ at these hours is beyond unbearable. And I want to enjoy it...
