Night

[VansCrew1]

Night fighting was not interesting. I can be resumed in an icon chase, as you can't see the trajectories of any planes. 1VS1 usually ended in a blind turn fight until someone crashed into the ground. I have a gamma boost switch on my screen but I still used to log out during night as the fights were boring.

I'd give it a NO.

Give us a real weather before please.

"Real weather" would cause to much lag.

Not lag (internet packet delay) but it would put some stress on our video cards, yes. I don't ask for an eye candy, just something a bit more realistic.

Depending on how the weather is modeled and run, no, weather would not cause FPS droops or lag.

You didn't fly X-Mas eve last year?  It was my first night flight but I found it rather interesting.

Christmas has plenty of people flying because they know its the only time all year they will get to fly in night conditions.

Make it an event on blue arena is an idea to dig imo. I think blue should always run small maps and have some events like night time maybe...it would spice it up.

[Denholm]

Certainly! If there's titanic Tuesday, why not a blind Thursday?

[mike254]

YES, and bring back animated water while your at it. 

[mike254]

nvm

I'd hate to be a buzzkill.... BUT

HiTech said a definate NO to the last time we asked for night. IIRC, it was KKEN's thread that got to something like 6 pages or 7 pages long.

Just to clearify he said NO to a dedicated night time arena.

I could understand the argument aginst night when there was only one arena.  Personally it never bothered me.  It went by rather quickly because the clock skipped ahead during "night" rather than running through 10 hours of it.  I don't think I ever logged off because of night, though I did several times because a map conducive to crappy gameplay was up.  I'm indifferent to night being brought back.

Large cloud banks were great though.  I kind of miss those.

[flyboy96]

yes, to the night.   



off topic a little but how about weather patterns, volumetric clouds, and snow maps?

Not to mention Desert maps too,and YES to night.

[flyboy96]

Yeah,IF we do get night again most GVers are gonna log.It would be uber-hard to find a gv from the ground.

[SD67]

I disagree. Have you actually logged into the offline arena set to night and looked for the GV's?
I've done it on STANDARD graphic and gamma settings and it's not that hard to spot them.
I play with all my graphics maxed and gamma set to standard anyway. I have little trouble finding them I really wish they'd move though, It would make for a much better comparison.

Bring back night!! ......down with the whiners who made it go away ...scum!



Helm ...out

Yes I have but my resolution has to be lowerd so my game can activate.
