I would love to see night in the MA's. The only problem that I can see is that for the people who don't live in the North America and South America, the day and night cycle would be messed up for them. They would be logging in during the day, having to play night in a night time setting. Until they find a solution for that I don't think we are going to get night.

When we had night before about every 4 hours or so it would start to get dark and progress from day to night to day again over about an hours time.  Then 4 hours of daylight before the cycle began again.

The in-game clock doesn't correspond to a real clock.  It runs much faster.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

how do you take screen shots from film viewer?


most use the print screen key, then paste into MSpaint or some graphic editing program

Thats what I did for the pictures above but it seemed quality was not as good as when in the film viewer. Oh well. Maybe I will post short film.

yeah I agree it was great to fly in the dark, I think it would add more to the immersion of the game rather than dusk till dawn with no night.

I use a nifty little program called printkey...you can edit...adjust...crop...etc and all you have to do is hit the print screen key. Supports multiple graphics formats, even has a self timer so it takes screenshots continuously if you want.

Do you know why he said no how no way?

I don't remember "why" exactly, but it had to do with keeping the game playable. Lots of people logged off when it was night. When your selling a product and people "can't" play because they can't see its not good for business. Also, lots of people would just turn up the gamma and negate it anyway. Very few people liked it. Only time you'll see night is in events now.

Thats a great idea. Guys could goto other arena if its night and they dont like it. Before we only had one arena, now we have multiple ones.

If you kids are so hot for worthless black inky dark no good night flying with BRIGHT NEON ICONS then lets just have HTC set up a inky black night arena for you to play in, and leave the rest of us in PEACE.

If you guys want night so badly, just turn the gamma way down on your monitors.
