    Compressed day/night cycle?

    FACECAR replied to Marou_'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion

    The only way a 24 hour cycle is realistic is if you're playing for 24 hours a day. Since I'm not playing the game all day, the fact that my character only persists during a certain time is silly and completely breaks immersion when I'm unable to experience a proper day/night cycle. It feels a little weird that my character will never see morning, noon, or midnight. A 24 hour cycle simply does not match up with normal play time of a few hours. I suggest an offset 10 hour cycle. A system of 5 hours of daylight and 5 hours of night fits long play times and assures that logging in at the same time every day will offer variety. This way players get to experience the effects of time and it'll feel like the days are actually moving along instead of it always being, say, Monday afternoon.
