Bring on the night

[DREDIOCK]

HTC has perfected nighttime IMO

Not only didnt I have any problems fighting and flying at night. but I found targets easier to target and had a very noticable boost in framerate. Even in a large furball. No stutters, no lag. The game ran smooth as silk.

And no I didnt have to boost gamma

Night flying is interesting, to be sure. I recall when it used ot be part of the normal rotation and I had a tough time fighting in it then. Last night was not any different. I just don't see the targets as well, so I need to boost my gamma.

Not saying that I'm against it mind you. Only that I'm just not that effective in it...but then one can probably say the same thing about my flying in the daylight too, so nevermind.

I noticed more playes where exited about the night then santa.
And i agree,bring it on HTC!

Im not trying ot be intentionally insulting or start a flame war. so please dont take it that way. But as I was saying then it holds even more true now. If you (anyone) cant see at night enough to fight. Then your monitor is not calibrated correctly.

Night now is far FAR better then it was back then in terms of visibility and playability. The effect you should be having is something like a Harvest moon where you can literally read by moonlight and the aircraft are somewhat illuminated by the moon and standout from the. black background of the night sky

I think we should give night a try for a week or so and see how it works out.

Maybe 15 minutes every two hours for a start?

I enjoyed the "night" combat, it was great in planes and gv's. 

[VuduVee]

Bring on the night   The only nay-sayers I've seen are the well know perk farmers.

I was on last year when it went dark. Wasn't doing much then. But this year I am in a squad and we did missions based on it being dark.  Great fun!

the "night" was pretty much daylight anyway, so it didn't make any difference.

I was tooling around in my 262 looking for santa and the way the night looked, the shadows inside the cockpit from the night was awesome got a few kills then did my usual crash landing lol..... Perks meh i have a ton of them lol

Just for clarification, what is a "perk farmer" (aren't we all?) and is that supposed to be something negative? 

[guncrasher]

did anybody notice that as soon as santa left 1/2 the player base logged off?

semp

             About the same time and certainly no earlier then when half the player base logs off as a norm.



Also remember half the player base I heard on vox last night sounded like they had more then their fair share of drinks in them.
And as soon as Santa left. the sun rose again...rather quickly I might add

Nice try though

Hmm, that's very interesting, as that wasn't what I was seeing at all. I could see icons of planes, but not the planes themselves really, or any moonlight reflecting off them per se.

So it sounds like something probably isn't right with my monitor setup? I'll have to dig into this a bit and see if I can sort it out. Thaniks for the feedback Drediock!
