I miss night time

Night makes it harder to see your enemy, which means you need to be paying even more attention to what you're doing.

Night is the time when Lancs really should be operating, night time bomb drops would be tough, but would create the need for planes to mark targets (new flare ords could solve this) for night drops which could promote more teamwork.

Even having 10 minutes of night would be enough I think.

Night = for folks that don't want to lose a fight to an enemy, so they fight at night where the enemy can't see them (while they jack their gamma up through the roof to see highly washed out colors).

You can do all that offline, with the same results. The offline drones never see you coming. Oh, and they're no threat to shooting you down so you can bomb all you like.

Remember, night = when 90+ percent of the arena logged off. Hell even DUSK caused most of the server to log. I know. I was there. I logged with them.

Night = lame.

EDIT: When HTC locks the gamma and automatically compensates for individual monitor bright/gamma settings, counters video card control panel color adjustments, and locks EVERYBODY into the same level of darkness, then talk to me about how fun "night" is.

NIIIIGGGGGGHHHHHHTTTTTTTTTTTT IIIIIISSSSSSS FFFFFFFUNNNNNNNN

I know it doesnt foster the" mindless furball, have to land 8 kills" mentality. But hey, that not the only one in there ya know.

Dont care much for the massive furrballs containing lalas, nikis and spits myself. I mostly nibble on them and move on to fights higher up. I just dont wanna fly around until i happen to stumble on someone within icon range and having to turn gamma up to sneak a kill

Night time is heaven for milkers, strat bombers and pork-n-run guys tho. Maybe EW or MW arenas could get nighttime

Yep, dont find that in the "day" in AH at all.

OK...IMHO "NIGHT" should only be used on Christmas Eve when Santa is flying thru the MA's ...loaded with multiple Vulcan cannons. Did I mention a speed of mach 1.0?

Did I mention 6,000 rnds?

C'mon Hitech...give us an "Evil Con Mission" in abstensia this year

Merry Chrismas

OK NB...you can ask for EW/MW "Evil Sleighs too" heehee
