you can just up your gamma and make it look like day.  only fools think we actually have a night.  let's get rid of it.

It is common knowledge that you cannot please all of the people all of the time.

HiTech put night time in to make sure he could in fact prove the statement.

Anyone pay attention to arena numbers throughout the cycle?

I watch fights die off (darbar), but im not sure if they are logging off, going afk, or just doing something different in the game.

Dude I ordered you a non tinted drool guard just for dusk/dawn. Why aren’t you using it?

"You can tick off most of the people some of the time..."    Is that what you're after?   :rofl   JK!!!

I appreciate the look to it, but man it makes fighting pretty tough.  OTOH, I love pure night.   When Santa is flying around that's some crazy fun.

I'm like night-dusk. If it's dark when I'm choosing a plane, I take a black paintjob.

Never been a fan. Sunrise and sunset looks totally awesome but for fighting in planes it kinda sucks. No not kinda. It sucks. Ya just can't see. And it just seems that every time I log in it's either about to get dark, is dark already or the sun just came up and it's still dark. Enough already with the dark.

And turning up the gamma is just like agreeing with me that it sucks. If it didn't you wouldn't have to!

Agreed, on all points.  However, my sense is that the night effect really doesn't last for very long, and it gives immersion people something to play with.

I disagree. While actual true night is only a short while, the period of generally just too dang dark to see is way too long. And happens with too much frequency. I know it's a small world we play in but if the planet were spinning that fast even the tanks would be thrown off into space!
