vfxtodd 125 Posted March 5, 2015 Because of work, I can see myself playing DayZ late at night. Can I still find a server that is running DayZ where the sun is still up? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WolfgangErikson 127 Posted March 5, 2015 I think most servers reset regularly and have the time reset to day time. Have you been playing lately or just thinking about getting back into it? I feel like most of the servers are day-time most of the time. I play at night almost exclusively and haven't seen a night-time server in a long time.

rossums 2190 Posted March 5, 2015 It helps if you include where you live so we know which timezone you're in! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vfxtodd 125 Posted March 5, 2015 Haha. I live in Santa Monica, California. Pacific Standard Time. I notice in the server list there are times showing. Is that what I look for? If it says 09:00, does that mean it's 9:00am on that server? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

battlerhd 116 Posted March 8, 2015 Nearly every server says 24/7 day time, or something along the lines of that. Night time servers are not that popular. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pilgrim* 3514 Posted March 10, 2015 I think most servers reset regularly and have the time reset to day time. Have you been playing lately or just thinking about getting back into it? I feel like most of the servers are day-time most of the time. I play at night almost exclusively and haven't seen a night-time server in a long time. I live in France - the trend here is to have the remaining Public servers set to real time.. this is kind of dumb because here in winter it goes dark around 5pm-5.30pm, so many local servers are on nighttime by 18:00 hours.Kiddie servers maybe? But then, if you hunt around you also find rare ones that stay night ALL the time, for the night freaks,And there are one or two that reset to maybe 8am every 12 hours (instead of every 24 hours)And some that have shifted daytime back by 4-5 hours, so it starts getting dark around midnight real time.And some 24h daylight servers. The servers run by the service suppliers are reliable (they don't change around the daylight settings) because no one from the company touches them unless they have to. 1) Now that a lot of servers are Private, it's more difficult to find a Public server to fit your own playing timetable, for sure.2) Mainly - some of the people who hire Public servers just change their minds a lot - and change their timetables manually. So not many servers are completely reliable (but the ones that are reliable, ARE reliable).. so 20 minutes after nightfall in a game that had 10-15 players (who all log out), drop back in and you'll often find that server back at 9.am gametime, with just 2 or 3 players on it. The dude who runs the server can shift the hour on the server anytime he wants, or whenever he feels like it - or depending if his mates are online or not ... or if he wants to be alone.. whatever. Mainly this happens (in Europe) from after 11pm-midnight real time.. I work late so its OK for me.. except that the players who "want to be alone" on their Public server, might tend to kick you.You just have to search and make a fave list of who is good, who is bad, who is reliable, and who is not. But even that list will change a bit from each week to the next. xx pilgrim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
