ONE EPIC IDEA which can make peeps playing at night.

[borntobewild 31]

Do you remember first 4 weeks of DayZ mod? If you were ArmA II players before this kick-ass mod it is sure you are. They were few servers and every was filled with players. You could play at night with fuckin' 49 other peeps who was REAL bandits or even friendly!

So now the idea. BIS could make server limitation like there should be some way to buy server by buying the SERVER version of the game but it could be limited like 100000 peoples bought the normal game so there is only 1000 server version of the game. Or maybe someone who wants to host server would have to write an aplication and send it to BIS (you could do it on their site) and someone from Bohemia, after reading your application would have to accept or decline.

You will probably kill me for this idea but...... :)

OMG. Guys, LIMITATIONS cannot be cool/epic/whatever idea. FEATURES can. For example: increase chance for high tier equipment at night time, add some "only-night" spawns. You suggest that players CAN'T play at day, but it bad idea, good idea - when players WANT to play at night. Understand?

Higher spawn rate for gear at night is a good idea.

Higher spawn rate for gear at night is a good idea.

Or keep the current spawn rate for night and reduce it for daytime.

I do think choice is good for any game, allowing the players to play when and how they want, no need for limitations I play DayZ and as I didn't understand much from the first 2 post's I'll have to go with Meh!

:P

But given a choice between day time and night time server (with good-moderate ping), which one would most people pick.

I would pick night because it makes easier to evade Z and players (and run away from players), and quality of gear comes into play.

if I could see at night in DayZ (without giving my position away or changing my brightness) I would play at night because zombies can't see me that good. =)

maybe NVGs should drop more often. they only let you play at night, you can't snipe with them (only with the DMR), so they aren't THAT brilliant, they're just rare.

OR make military flashlights drop more often/everywhere or even a spawn item. and make them equipable to you shoulder like in Lingor Island. so you can protect yourself with the weapon still in hands and you don't run trough the night like a light bulb.

Rocket actually stated that he has interest in changing the lighting part of the game so that people can see more at night.

Which is not surprising, starting at a pitch black screen is hardly fun.

Or then don't give any buffs to the night, it's good as how it is. Someone using NVGs already benefits from the night since zombies can't see you.

I played on a night server yesterday with flares and a flashlight and it was fun.
