gqren 49 Posted December 5, 2014 Well, it actually makes sense to me seeing as we have batteries, rangefinders and flashlights in working condition. A watch or two should have survived as well =) Would love to have a wristwatch! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death By Crowbar 1213 Posted December 5, 2014 We should be able to craft sundials with the all mighty stick and something else sensible! They should only work when placed on the ground, like a fireplace. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Caboose187 (DayZ) 3036 Posted December 5, 2014 Hmmmm 24/7 day time and you need a watch....... Meh, I agree, I miss the watch but at this point it'd be pretty useless 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gqren 49 Posted December 5, 2014 Well, when considering immersion it would make sense to me =) There are plenty of other useless items as well, as there should be. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Server restarted.....middle of day....boooo, still would be nice even for immersion, and knowing when its going to go dark :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Too bad there's no servers, at least 1st person ones, that even go into night time before they restart 2 hours later <_< Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rickyriot 1009 Posted December 5, 2014 I agree just out of completeness the watch should make a return. I'd like it to have maybe a little more functionality though, rather than just telling the time. Whether that is some sort of Bond-esque watch/laser/garotte combo or just a plain old pedometer (which I think would be quite nice actually) I don't know. After all we all know how to gauge the time during the day (even when it's overcast you can get a rough approximation) and with the amount that some servers reboot, it's difficult to find a night server where time would be a useful metric. I notice that some town clocks chime which is obviously a nice touch (I could have swore I heard it) although how long can these things last before needing wound? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Too bad there's no servers, at least 1st person ones, that even go into night time before they restart 2 hours later <_< It'll probably be out of your ping range, but there is a server labelled MIA that regularly goes into night time. It's in the server browser but I can't find a website for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JackWalsh 29 Posted December 6, 2014 Oh I agree. Too bad there's no servers, at least 1st person ones, that even go into night time before they restart 2 hours later <_< The eislecker survivor team server has been up for quite some months. They.have real time ( western european time, utc+1) But you might have a high ping there, since the server is located in luxemburg and you're canadian. But it is first person only, with real time: ip 217.23.8.102 Port: 2602 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
