Bring on the night

[thrila]

I also hate night

This is good.
Everyone keeps talking about like full length night maps that will drive players away.

I was just thinking 40 min or so of night,im sure know one would leave in that time.

 And its still the same 2 people complaining about night.

  this works for me^^^^^that would make sense-and be cool.

I wouldn't be so sure. I don't think it was very long in the old days and people would log out as soon as "dusk" hit and would come back later when "dawn" hit.

Do it in the MA, the ones that hate the night can go enjoy another arena for a short while, like Mid War, Early War, WWI, or go hide under their bed and wait for the sun to come back out.

There has been night before. People logged off on mass, The did not log to other areas, a no amount of wiching will change that. It's really no more complicated than that.

With maps that are built for 2000 players, and supporting 200 at any given time (probably only half of which are actually engaging in, or want to engage in, air combat), do you really think changes to the game that push the air combat oriented players out of the game to be the right move?

Yea they like no change and there the same people to blame for  the game dieing.
Kids like dimensions to games and gfx ,one thing the cry baby's have kept out of this game.

Let em log. cause they cant handle night ,we have already lost a large number of our player base.
Time to get a new base.

Now there's a winning business model! Let me log! Right on! Pure genius.

Better then listening to the FEW CRIERS, which is killing the game softly with oldness..

Vortex, Drano, BE and any 1 else who is complaining about the night, did you fly Christmas Eve? Have you ever flown Christmas Eve? We used to have a quazi night. Where's AckDweeb he is 1 of the biggest whiners.

I'll say this again Christmas Eve Night is Dark Clear Pitch Black ..HT pulls the switch and its ON ..no need to fuss with the gamma.....it is not the same "Night Time" we used to have....that we humped the gamma switch to straighten out....or.... IT is the night we used to have.... turned all the way up ....I don't know... but it blacks out the arena to where it is crystal clear and the moonlight and stars are awesome the two are not the same in the way they look. Why not just try it out on Sunday nights for a month at say Midnight EST for 30-45 min see what happens?

Whats the big deal just try it out  

I'm sure HT gets a kick out of this conversation  "Hey Skuzzmiester let's see who wants night this year....HAHAHAHA" every year.  

Asked for since ...wait for "IT"  .....................2005

I think it just opens a new can of worms they just don't want to deal with <Night fighters, flares...etc>

   I saw icons, bright and clear, but the things I was shooting at were too dark. Probably has a place for certain events, but Im not interested in a regular nighttime setup. I know id just logoff and come back for daytime. Enough times doing that and Id eventually just logoff.

I didn't really notice a difference between the way night-flying was on Xmas eve, and the way it used to be Megalodon. Planes were basically black holes, I didn't see any of this reflection that lit up planes which you and others mention. I had to crank up gamma to see the actual planes.

That said, I'm not trying to rain on the parade here. However from what I saw the night flying looked no different than it used to years back. And with that I can only suggest the most likely outcome insofar as participation rates are concerned, would be similar to that of years past.
