Poll: How long would you like the Day/Night cycle to be in DayZ?

[whatup2003 67]

Personality I don't want to play either day-time-only or night-time-only in DayZ. I'd like to see the sunrise on the mountain top. I'd like to see the sunset by the sea shore. Basically, I want to see the time change without having to play a full day in real life. So, what's your choice?

[BRKermit 10]

12/12 hour's, so two days in one real time day.

[xInfinityx 44]

4/4 is really nice to play in, because you usually get some day time play in during your session.  

[t-monk 6]

4 hours time would make playing on day/night and seeing the sunset and rise more frequent, simulating a life in that country, like if it you really were there. This would be great on future private servers, from were you cant server hop to escape the night.

I also would like to see a more rapid day/night cycle. Work doesn't allow me much in the way of daytime play, so I have only seen the game at night. I'd love to change that.

[Hama 60]

4 hours give you ~2 hours daylight, ~1 hour twilight and ~1 hour darkness. A little of everyting each time you play.

[xInfinityx 44]

Yeah, I mean normally I don't like sacrificing realism for gameplay too much, but I think the realistic day/night cycle doesn't do much to make the game better.  Origins was 4/4 and it was really fun, and didn't feel overbearing. But like if I had a choice on a seasonal/weather system I would say make it a 365 cycle.

 

But 4/4 would give you:

 

1h - sunrise

3h - daylight

1h - sunset

3h - night

Someone had the great idea of like 21 hour days so that people who work every time the log in at the same time every night is a different time in the game.

[whatup2003 67]

What I think now is that devs can try all these different setups to see people's reactions. After all, this is an alpha test, right?

6hours light :3 hours dark

 

moonlit dark

 

current dark ruins the feel of the game, in the light it's beautiful, but in darkness it's just pitch black and everyone gamma cheats.

changing the gama cannot be considered a cheat, but the nigth should be shorter at least 6 hours shorter and i think it should be colored.

I like the 24h cycle and vote for it.

 

Cycle change makes sence when the goal is to give a player always playing at the same time nights and days.

Exampe: you play always at 8:00.

All times you set in the vote did not help him. Nothing changed for him. He starts alway at the same time.

 

A 23h cycle help him, a 13h cycle etc help him. This vote is worthless. Give more cycle vote options.

[Angryofficer 89]

12 or 8 hour cycles

[wetspot 11]

I'd like to see 20 hour cycles. 

I like the idea of staying with just one server and playing through different parts of the day spread over a few days real time.

I like the feeling of surviving the night and seeing the sun rise. It could be cool if it somehow took 2-4 hours to get to midday then it sat at midday for 2 hours then the time kept moving.

[HIHBGaming 14]

This is just like beating a dead horse *facepalm*

[flygamer1 176]

8h day and 8h night

[Apple Monster 6]

If it were up to me, I would set day 5hrs and night 3hrs.  I like day the best, and night time is for sneaking around undetected!

[rjcollins 5]

4 hours of day, 4 hours of night is my vote. Gives me potential to spread my session over day and night, or just day, or just night.

 

Or multiple sunrises and sunsets.
