Stagger server times

[4brkfast 6]

First, I must say, I love the game. I haven't gotten into a fps game in a long time.

 

I'm not sure if my suggestions was how it was before, probably was(couldn't tell unless you joined). But currently all of the Dayz tx/nj/ch/etc/etc/etc #-# are all set to the same time. Which leaves them mostly empty during prime time hours for NA/SA(Americas players) players, all of the servers are in the evening and with the headlamp not working properly(that i've found) and other light sources not working that I've found, it leaves most of them very vacant with the daylight servers absolutely packed(And filled with people only interested in killing other humans. The zombies make more sense than them. Living zombies?)

 

In some cases there are 15+ servers to one area. I suggest if the time ratio will remain 1:1, to stagger the times 2-3 hours between each server within a particular area, IE TX 2-0 is 12:00, 2-1 is 15:00, etc, so there are available daylight servers and evening servers. Right now the majority of players are trying to jam into the 10% of the servers that aren't in the dark during prime time, 5pm~~ est -12am~~ est hours. And unless somebody doesn't have a job, there's little chance to play in daylight with these numerous public servers. I have a character on one of them and I find it a bit dull to constantly play in the dark when my group is about.

 

I imagine this will be fixed and is probably well known, but I didn't see any forum posts on the subject - can't spent too much time browsing for probably a known issue. Loot isn't going to loot itself, after all!

 

Thanks for reading.

 

P.S. This is the best Alpha I've ever seen. I can't imagine what the product will be in a few months, a year and beyond and especially when it's optimized!! Great stuff, keep it up.

While that would work altering game time onto an odd hour would place dayz into it's own time. 21, 23, 25, or 27 hr days and game time would always be different from reality but maintain a similar flow.

I just want to have the dayz pub servers to have people on them during prime time. The 24/7 day servers are packed and constantly looted. It needs to be fixed. 4:30 on 90% of the servers at 11:30 est is bad!
