Title: Bring Back the Night
Post by: Eagler on July 25, 2007, 10:17:17 PM
The way the MA arena would empty when night would fall before, could only help populate EW, MW and AvA during their slow periods (most of the time)

2nd pitch for separate scoring for each arena which would help do the same thing..

Most likely they would migrate to the other LW arena until daylight returned.
Anyway, that's what I would do. I hate the dark:noid

PLEEEEAAAASE bring back the night.  It was fun and lots of people flew and didn't whine.  It doesn't have to be long, but it would be cool.  Just make sure an AH day != RL day so night doesn't fall at the same time every day.

my suggestion would be to put both LW rooms on the same clock so it is night in both at same time
I'd stagger it in the other rooms

I also feel if scoring was different in each room, many would try the other rooms trying for better scores than they could get the way it is setup now

Actually, there should be choice. I feel for those that want a little night life, so like Eagler say, BOTH LW arenas should get night at the same time. For two hours straight.

Of course, others that don't like it should have a choice, so EW and MW should NEVER have night.

I miss night time, it was awesome doing GV runs or a CV assault on a base at night.

Considering the number of arneas to choose from now, it sounds like a good point.

Why both?  One arena with night would be enough as it's all you can fly in at one time.  If there are that many people that want to fly at night, they'd stay.  I would think listening to those who didn't like the night when it fell would get old to you and ruin your fun.

You want night? Play offline.

Same end result, you get to pork things without being killed by the enemy. Might as well ask for a super power-up shield. The only reason for night is to avoid fighting.

You can avoid fighting offilne.

Night is so realistic.  Especially with the neon icons and gamma turned up.

If you want to simulate night just wear dark sunglasses while you fly...Problem solved...

ive always thought that it would b interesting to have the ability to change your own environmental settings.  that way, if i like the challenge of night, i could fly that way, or fly with dense clouds but it wouldnt have an effect on my opponent...though we could each agree to fly that way if we wanted to.

This is the first record of this request ever, in the history of AH.

I understand it is coming in two weeks.

Hi chaps!

In fact, the night issue depends of the approach you have to AH: if you consider it a game, it has no purpose at all. If you look at it as one of the best WW2 combat simulators available, it should be mandatory.

A day has 24 hours. There should be night for, at least, 90 minutes, every 22 and 1/2 hours of server time. But, to avoid certain time zones - yes, not all of us live in the US - it should be done in a way that it would not hit the same time zones every day...Make it scheduled to show up 1 1/2 hour earlier every day, at a different moment in all arenas.

And, also, make it impossible to tweak on gamma settings. Night vision techniques in 1944 were quite rudimentary...

My € 0,02.

Just adjust your monitor setings and you can have night as dark and when ever you want :D
