Accelerated Day Night Cycle

[[email protected] 14]

I think accelerating the Day Night cycle would add a lot to gameplay. As it is most servers tend to lose a signifigant amount of their population as people "Server Hop" to find a daylight server.

By accelerating the day night cycle to something closer to GTA 4 or Just Cause 2 we lose a little but of realism, but gain some more dynamic gameplay as night fall and dawn suddenly become events that players don't see that often.

YES

All this will do is make people server hop to a server in daylight more often than they do now

Technically impossible.

When this was suggested a while back (SEARCH BAR), Rocket replied that accelerating the in-game time cycle messes with the loot and zombie spawn system. Therefore, we're stuck with a 1:1 timeflow until he feels like rewriting the entire source code segment for ArmA's day/night cycle.
