Petition for Night, weather, wind

Is there some reason you night guys couldn't just set up a head-to-head arena, and enjoy it there??

That way, you get your graphic effects, night gameplay (whatever that is), and you avoid annoying the majority who doesn't want it...

Basically, These here on these forums are but a small sampleing of the comunity as a whole.  And I know as Maxius has stated above that a private arena only has eight slots, and for a good time there would have to be more than just eight people playing.
Besides here is a similar thread that I did not even start which proves my point.

It is in the General Discussion Forum. Called "Bring back Night time"

:D

Who says the majority DONT want it back?

Be nice to see some hard data/evidence before a sweeping comment like that.

I remeber people 'claiming' that 50% logged off during night, even 50% is NOT a majority. If I remember correctly it was never close to 50% logging anyway.

As for the gamma tweak, theres a way round that also. HT just needs to disable the video card control panel using the registry.

Thats all we needed, a voice from someone who knows rather than speculates.

When the light gets low....the gamma goes up.... so much for realism.

Never much cared for nights... but the Christmas bonus was kinda fun...

Trust in Hitech... for what would we have without him?  


This is a great game, as much as we squawk and grumble ..

this is good stuff. :cool:

night-dont really care one way or another...it is nice to take advantage of the night but it never lasts long enough to really play a role in strat.

A 30 min night is plenty of time for one to utalize them in strat.

Oh yeah, I'm still around!:cool:

PS.  I respect the oposing views of the anti-night faction, and to that extent I ask you now.  Is there no compramise that can be found?  The daytime hours dominate the MA giving you that which you hold dear ;however, for tose like myself whoom feel that there is fun to be had flying at night, or with light to moderate weather patterns can not have that.  I would like to come to some sort of logical and mutually agreeable solution to this.   I am proposeing 30 in game minutes (not realtime but by the game clock) of night.  That way you, those whoon seek the day light have the majority share of the MA game clock and those like myself can have at least the 30 game clock minutes  of night.   On the issue of weather, I propose something more like small random weather patters like showers or a small storm, not the massive feild grounding storms I have been acused of wanting.  Please my freinds hear me out and let us try to come to somewhat of an agreement, if not on weather at least we can come to a mutually acceptable compramise for night.  Thak you for your time.[/SIZE][/COLOR]



You just dont get it......if night time comes back the vast majority of the arena players will do 1 of 2 things....

1) Turn up their gamma so they can see well enough to fight effectively.

2) Log off.

The first one nullifies the night time. The second one is not conducive to keeping paying customers.

If you are really this adamant about playing during the night, WWIIOnline has nightime, you might think about trying that game. I have to warn you, the majority of players there turn up their gamma settings when the nighttime rolls around.

I doubt that is gonna happen since you can adjust your gamma settings in game now.

True, but in conjunction with removing that option 'ingame', it would suffice.
