Vote Request on Melee Arena Being Daytime Only
« on: November 20, 2016, 02:57:00 PM »
I have to compliment AH on the amazing job they did on night time.  :aok  Very pretty too.

I'd prefer to fly during game daylight hours though exclusively.  Could we vote on having the game be daytime only in the Melee Arena?

Night time could still be used for scenarios etc.

Thanks for considering.  :salute

 night time is good, mixes it up a bit, you have to think/play a bit differently..
I like the transition..

We do NOT have night time. We have day, Dusk, and Dawn. That is why when it goes from dusk to dawn you see the sun flip to the east. It also explains why you never see the sun flip to the west as the day moves it slowly across the sky.

Yes this dusk/dawn cycle seems to get a bit darker depending on which side of the map you are playing. Personally Im not too crazy about it either, but it is for such a short time I try not to let it bother me.

I do not like nighttime and I won't fly in it. It's a waste of time for me personally.


However I will not vote in favor of taking it away from those who enjoy it , just because I don't.  :salute

such a short time bothers some people to stop playing.  I just log off when I see it.

by not flying in it you already take something away from those who enjoy it.

Why is it some players "can't see" when it's dark in the ma and other can see fine? The only thing I can think of is that those who can't see objects at night either have their monitors not calibrated correctly or they have leukemia or some kind of anemic disorder.

Reminds me of when we had the first desert MA terrain. There was a vocal minority who complained, I toejam you not, that the particular color of the ground textures caused them physical pain. Talk about some whiny squeakes, this game seems to attract world class whiny squeakes.

When it's night in the ma, the only thing that changes is the sky becomes dark and the stars are visible. All objects and terrain are still illuminated as if it was day. It's not realistically dark at all.

HTC don't get rid of the night, it will attract new players who aren't crotchety old men.

Notice that all objects are easily visible and the only thing that is dark is the sky, which makes the glowing planes even more visible in flight. Also I should add this is 1.0 default gamma setting.

Because a lot of players just up the gamma levels and turn night into day so they can see.  Just like players did when we used to have night times a long time ago.
