Time/Time acceleration options

Recommended Posts

I know time acceleration is in the pipeline will there be any option to control the ratio of day to night, e.g. the ability to set the time after a restart. The day/night ratio is roughly 50% / 50%, I'd like to have something more like 80% / 20% or 70% / 30%, will this be a possibility (or is it already a possibility but it's just not available through my hosts CP).

I would really like that option, since playing at night does scare away a lot of players

 

when the night is something that lasts maybe an hour, while the day lasts two hours, players might think about just going through it rather than leaving

 

however, that would also mean there would be 100% day servers again....  i personally don't like those at all

Hopefully the new engine will bring improvements to night time but players are less likely to flock to 24/7 daylight servers if you can break them into night time play slowly. I think 3 hours night (1 hr dusk, 1 hr night, 1 hr dawn) to  6 hours daylight would be a good balance.
