Ahhh....Night in the MA.....Was either crank up gamma so you could half way see, or log off and go eat is what the majority did. Most didn't care for it, hence the reason it's gone.

Have you ever played this game during the "night" ? ... offline does not count.

Yes I hosted on sevral instances a head to head match.

Ever played the MA at night? It's fun the first few times, but then it goes downhill. Permanently.

I was looking into the game and saw some screen shots of play during the night time, That is actually one of the reasons I joined. I really did not know for a while that they had removed night, I just thought I had poor timing loging on. Now that I have played sereral nights all night long, I see that it goes straight form dusk to dawn with no hesitation at all, it is rather like flying across the Atlantic. That is the only other time I have seen such a thing.

Sorry ... that doesn't count either and neither do screenshots ... you had to have experienced it in the MA environment to really understand the true level of SUCKAGE that it provides.

You just do not want to compramise do y'all. Please, try to use reason. Out of those that play this game only a fraction are on these boards, there fore this is only a small sampleing of the opinions of the general public. I have heard many voices wanting the night time back just like I have heard y'all. Those that hate the night are as it seems are sounding the loudest, only due to the fact that every time I check this thread it is the same ones each time denounceing the night. Atleast I have heard several voices from those wanting night time back.

I remain unwaveringly in support of the re insertion if the night time hours.

I do not believe that it was suckage, to the contrairy my squadies have told me that every thing is better at night time. I tend to lean twords believeing them. From what I have seen in AH2 HTC has done a marvelous job of renereding night time (oh and that full moon is awesome, I swear it is just like a opicture of the real moon)

Please those of you whoom like the night sighn here on the line

Instead, things just show up in patches.

Yeah, but you know if those things were your ideas. Then you feel all good about yourself for at least an hour.

After reading this I thread I have a strong desire to go fly in big circles around a MA tornado trying to get enemy pilots sucked in. This would be pretty much exactly like a furball is now, but it would look cooler.

I really kind of miss night time in the MA. If it wasn't for night I never would have learned how to attack buffs.

Basically here's how I remember it going down: The sun sets, all your friendlys vanish in an instant. Is this the apocolypse? Why did every just vanish? Then the buffs come. Lots and lots of them, all low alt. None of them can see you, so they are easy to kill, but your ammo is limited and it wont matter for long. After a good half hour of killing buffs you run out of gas and head to your airfield, which is easy to spot because everything is on fire. Ahh, you finally get to land that 10 kill sortie. So, now that the sun is coming up and your completely sick of killing buffs you go to get back into your regular fighter. But wait, every single airfield is at 25% fuel, (now it would be no FHs, which isn't quite as bad because they only go for 15min.) and theres a raid in the process of taking out radar. So whether or not you stuck it out through the night you're unable to play and still in the same boat as all the quitters, might as well go do something else for half an hour while fuel comes back.

I know this doesn't sound like that great an experience to have when you're looking for a sortie, but when you've been flying for 6 hours straight it's good to have a break to go take care of business. My laundry has never been so well done as when there was a night time in AH.

I like the concept of night, as do others whoom have vocalized it either in theis thread or other wise. I along with those others would welcome and embrace the chance to fly at night.

So DaddyAck, let me get this strait, you want Night Back?

I think if you post 100 more times that you want night back, it automatically gets added back in. Wait was that 100 or 1000?

DaddyAck · « **Reply #133 on:** April 11, 2005, 04:55:08 PM »

Yes, We want night back!

pellik · « **Reply #134 on:** April 11, 2005, 06:03:43 PM »

Maybe HT could just give you guys a special 'nighttime MA'. He could just use the backup MA server. This way you could experience all the joys of logging into an empty server that nobody wants to play on because of the dark.
