Thegoon84 54 Posted December 4, 2013 Does anyone have an idea of how the day/night cycle will work across all servers? What's the point in having night time in Stand Alone if no one is going to use it? I've search for answers everywhere. Zombie survival should be about day and night time survival, I.e find flares, use torches etc. There should be a universal time and weather systrm which is forced server side by all servers. Players will just server hop to a day time server. Will be rubbish if you ask me. I'd really like to run around with friends in the night under the moon light with prehaps a geared up friend in the tree line with nvgs keeping eyes open. Also it opens up a whole new aspect of the game... do I use my flashlight here encase people see, do I fire encase someone sees the gun fire flash, I better use my melee weapon.

booyah 12 Posted December 4, 2013 No idea, but I think best case scenario would be a 19/4 day/night cycle, so that each day, the time shifts back an hour, and peopls normal playing hours will eventually be night time and if its done this way for ALL servers, no one can complain :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kingochaos 131 Posted December 4, 2013 (edited) i just responded to this in your other thread, i think a shortened day night cycle should be the go.... maybe mixed with booyas idea, so a 5h day 4h night. But ill live with whatever it is , wont loose to much sleep over it. Edited December 4, 2013 by KingOchaos Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only thing Warz did well was the day/night time... Cycle was 4 -6 hours i just responded to this in your other thread, i think a shortened day night cycle should be the go.... maybe mixed with booyas idea, so a 5h day 4h night. But ill live with whatever it is , wont loose to much sleep over it. Again, this for me would be deverstating if it stayed as RL time. I want to be forced to play in the night.

IkaikaKekai 1957 Posted December 4, 2013 I agree, day/night should be at a RL ratio as it was when the mod first started, and it should be based where the server is based, or possibly have a few 'reversed' servers. Say theres 10 West Coast (USA) Servers, 5 would be normal (6AM = 6AM), and 5 would be reversed (6PM=6AM). That way for the people who say can only play late at night won't be limited to either a further away and laggy server or never seeing the light of day in game. And of course it lets the 'omg night too dark' crowd to server hop. (As far as I know there won't be any private hive servers, at least at the start, only public hive servers) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
