Can we have night back?

Kinda silly. Even the people who liked the night dont want it ALL the time.


That's why I'm suggesting two arenas.  One for night, and one for day.  When you want to fly night, you go to one.  When you want the daytime, you go to the other.  This would be the ideal solution.

seems silly

Not really.  The night folks don't want night all the time, so they will fly day some of the time.  In AH1, some folks logged when night came anyway.

Two arenas is best.  Whenever you want to fly night, an arena is available.  Whenever you want to fly day, it is available.  Isn't that what everyone wants?  That way you are not forced to play day when you want the night, and I'm not forced to play the night when I want day.

and then the night arena would be like the bastad child of the CT. unpopulated and boring, oh, and dark.

night for just 30mins every 13 hours is not such a cross to hold is it?

its all water under the bridge though, seeing as HT doesnt give a rat's arse about this thread by the looks of it :D


either that or he is waiting to see which side wins.....

According to a lot of the statements in this thread, (1) there are tons of people who want the night back so the night arena should have good numbers, (2) night isn't boring, and (3) dark is good because it is a challenge.

None of this is much of a cross, on either side. ;)

Oh absolutley I know that I am  only speaking for myself and others who share my feelings.
but there is a difference.
I want to see something thats fair to both camps. not just one as you would have it by having no night at all.
You "put up with piss poor night for quite a while"

You "put up with it" a whole 1/2 hour for every 13. Less then 1/24th of a day.
What a terrible burdon.

Yes I agree our opinions on the matter will probably always differ
and its funny cause I was just thinking and agree that at some point night will probably return
If for no other reason then then the one that he gave to get rid of it.:)

The difference, of course, is that we've put up with the piss-poor night play for quite a while.

And as HT essentially said when he took the night away, turnabout is fairplay.

I'm sure night will return at some point. That'll be HT's call.Certainly not yours or mine. Until then, I guess our respective opinions are just that.

LMAO I dont know about you but in my time here I've never seen ANY side win on just about any subject
It just becomes a sort of perpetual motion till people get tired of arguing about it for a while.
then it fades away only to be picked up again at a later date

when i make  my nights in h2h i make em last only a hour or so... but i also increase the time multiplier so Even though night comes more often It dont last so long...

it seems to keep most people happy,

But then again ive noticed Every 1 likes whining in this game And that includes me :D

I'll say it again.....if a significant number of peeps liked, or even TOLERATED night, HT wouldnt have yanked it. (Clouds would be cool tho, imo, but I think they are a server hog)

What is strange is that some people are opposed to night unless there are dedicated night fighters, historical opponents etc, yet are more than happy to 'tolerate' MA inacurracies in day fighting.
