I honestly avoided night-time servers. I thought, "This is so lame, I can't see anything!" But this evening I played a few hours on a pitch black server and it was hands down the most intense gaming session I've ever had. Indescribable to anyone not familiar with the game. A buddy and I were creeping through Cherno, super stealthy. We had just raided the church when we received word in the text chat that someone needed a blood transfusion in the hospital, so we thought, "Why not? We're right here." So we embark towards the hospital, which is about a quarter mile north of our position. So we let the guy know that we're on our way, and we should be there in about 5 minutes. It seemed like every single corner we passed was more suspenseful than the last. All we had was one chemlight, and the faint red glow of a flare off in the distance, marking our destination. When we finally get there we're asking the guy where he is, when all of a sudden I can faintly spot someone watching us from a tower to the south. I instantly pull sights on him and ask over chat and to my buddy "Who's taht up there?!" Turns out it was the guy we had been looking for, but out of nowhere comes a second survivor. Scared the crap outta me! We realize he's friendly so we all group up near the hospital to fix this guy up. We had reached our destination and now have 2 more survivors to travel with. Out of nowhere, I hear a shot ring out. The random guy drops to the ground, dead. I thought "Who was that?! Did we get betrayed??" But nope, it just so happened that a bandit or two were also in on our little conversation over text chat. We all got killed but it was still one of the most awesome experiences I've had in 10 years of gaming. TLDR: Night-time in DayZ is amazingly immersive and suspenseful. Anyone who avoid night servers should really give them a try. Especially with friends.
