Bring back the night time in the game. Or at least bring it back for every Titanic Tuesday.
-
Yeah............. That'd be nice.
:aok
-
all for it :aok
-
Sure, lets do this:
LLLLEEEERRRROOOYYYYY JJEEEENNNKKKIINNSSS at night
-
No thank you.
-
them were the days used to love the night :aok
-
definitely :aok\

Fine, I'll bring my own nightlight...
-
No thank you.
Whats the big deal about not having night for even one day?
-
I'll lit up your plane for you.. :D

:rofl :rofl

Do it :aok
-
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 I WANT NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
yes please bring back night! :aok
-
Yep, they should bring it back.....maybe even reduce icon ranges to 3.0 during the night hours. :aok
Also, they should set it up so it isn't night in all arenas at the same time. Maybe one on central time, one on GMT, etc. That way those who prefer daylight can go to another arena, whilst the night fighters can continue their play in the arena where its night. Might just help populate all arenas a little better. :D :D
:salute
[EDIT]
If nowhere else the AvA might just be given night time. Might even tempt a few to join it just for night fighting.
:salute
-
i'd say for orange put PST and GMT for blue, and have the game clock match them exactly
-
:aok lets have a reason to have the black nightfighter/bomber skins

Start small have night for Titanic Tuesday. Then if people like it maybe bring it back to into the main stream and have it every night.
-
yes, to the night.
off topic a little but how about weather patterns, volumetric clouds, and snow maps?
-
:aok Turn off the lights and take away the the ICONS it would be like midnight bolling :rofl
-
:salute like it they should reduce the avalible planes at night things like the 110 the best night fighter we be more useful and the idear of reduced sight :salute
-
:aok night

Can that be done that would be amazing

I'd hate to be a buzzkill.... BUT
HiTech said a definate NO to the last time we asked for night. IIRC, it was KKEN's thread that got to something like 6 pages or 7 pages long.
-
if its on a tuesday wont kill me. got somethin with firehouse that night :D it does sound fun though, not a bad idea vans :salute
-
I have only flown in the night on Christmas Eve. But you could still see icons and stuff, would it be the same because i sure do hope so my graphics are beyond terrible :cry
-

Hell, they did it for AH1.
I vote for bringing back night. My squad's night time missions were some of the most fun I've ever had in the game.
-
hes got a point
No he doesn't. Most of the skins you can still see clearly the plane at night, and even the type of plane. All the edges give off a glow.

Guess you guys don't remember how half the arena logged when night came around. And the only ones who stayed are the ones who turned their gamma settings up.
-
That was the OLD night. the NEW night is much better ;)
-
:aok night
i also agree to snow maps :D :D :D :D :) :D :D :D :D

More like 90% of the arena logged.
For those saying "night is better now" -- it's not that much better. NOW the only difference is that the ground glows unrealistically. Planes and dots are still the same and it's still just an excuse to try to milk run or try to cherry pick somebody that can't see you. Night = avoiding a fight. Night = same as stats padding, want all the rewards none of the risk.
-
So nuke everything and make it glow.. :D :lol
-
Night?
Why stop there. Get rid of Icons. Then along with "E-night". Put in real clouds. The kind where you have to have some knowledge of how to fly on instruments only. Get rid of the current "GPS Moving Map" and give us only a map of the arena and let everyone learn how to navigate using pilotage and dead rekoning. Add in real wind, and throw in some moderate turbulence below say 10 k. Now try to keep your gunsight on target!
It would be fun watching people try to land low wing taildraggers, with a cross wind. :rofl
YUP!! that would get almost EVERYBODY to log off. It would be way too realistic.
I say no to night.

making the moving gps map an option in the "Flight Preferences" part of the "Options" folder would be nice. i would even disable it for chiits and giggles :D
-
i agree. i like flying at night. have not tried it on the ground.
-
Night fighting was not interesting. I can be resumed in an icon chase, as you can't see the trajectories of any planes. 1VS1 usually ended in a blind turn fight until someone crashed into the ground. I have a gamma boost switch on my screen but I still used to log out during night as the fights were boring.
I'd give it a NO.
Give us a real weather before please.

"Real weather" would cause to much lag.

Not lag (internet packet delay) but it would put some stress on our video cards, yes. I don't ask for an eye candy, just something a bit more realistic.
-
Depending on how the weather is modeled and run, no, weather would not cause FPS droops or lag.
-
You didn't fly X-Mas eve last year? It was my first night flight but I found it rather interesting.

Christmas has plenty of people flying because they know its the only time all year they will get to fly in night conditions.

Make it an event on blue arena is an idea to dig imo. I think blue should always run small maps and have some events like night time maybe...it would spice it up.
-
Certainly! If there's titanic Tuesday, why not a blind Thursday? :cool:
-
YES, and bring back animated water while your at it. :aok

nvm

HiTech said a definate NO to the last time we asked for night. IIRC, it was KKEN's thread that got to something like 6 pages or 7 pages long.
Just to clearify he said NO to a dedicated night time arena.
I could understand the argument aginst night when there was only one arena. Personally it never bothered me. It went by rather quickly because the clock skipped ahead during "night" rather than running through 10 hours of it. I don't think I ever logged off because of night, though I did several times because a map conducive to crappy gameplay was up. I'm indifferent to night being brought back.
Large cloud banks were great though. I kind of miss those.
-
yes, to the night.
off topic a little but how about weather patterns, volumetric clouds, and snow maps?
Not to mention Desert maps too,and YES to night.
-
Yeah,IF we do get night again most GVers are gonna log.It would be uber-hard to find a gv from the ground.
-
I disagree. Have you actually logged into the offline arena set to night and looked for the GV's?
I've done it on STANDARD graphic and gamma settings and it's not that hard to spot them.
I play with all my graphics maxed and gamma set to standard anyway. I have little trouble finding them I really wish they'd move though, It would make for a much better comparison.
-
Bring back night!! ......down with the whiners who made it go away ...scum!
Helm ...out

Yes I have but my resolution has to be lowerd so my game can activate.

Yip.. I remember, No night!
-
Night and realistic clouds :rock :aok
-
Just to point something out, a few special events (snapshots) are ran at "night" (21:00 hours to 4:00 hours in game). Anyone is welcome to attend these. One of the few ways you can still experience night and fight at the same time. :aok
-
:aok :rock :salute :pray :pray :pray :pray

bring back the night :noid
-

Yep. I'm also willing to bet that the majority that want night put back in the game will end being in one of the two camps you described and then we'll see threads from them demanding night time be removed.

No, the main reason is that players want a chance to shoot down Santa.
ack-ack

It'd be cool if icon visibility were reduced at night with the addition of night fighter versions of the mosquito and bf110. maybe even a miniature dar could float along with the planes to help aid in this role. im all for night and the cool stuff that could come of it. :rock
-
radar shooting planes are useless when the bomber gunners can clearly see your icon :)
-
No, the main reason is that players want a chance to shoot down Santa.
ack-ack
I forgot that one. I remember one of my friends got booted from the MA for doing it. :lol
-
would flying at night affect frame rate at all ? never flown at night so that is why I am asking..A trial run might be good...or do a vote like everything else...
-
i say bring it back, i dont understand wat everyone complains about its hard to see, when 8 player arena was up i used to host arenas where it was dark and i never heard one complain from anyone
-
Night.
:rock :rock :rock
-
They do it in snaps and fso { sometimes } so why not
GOONDUDE

I hated night back in AH, i was one of the people who logged when it was night. There was nothing worse than logging in to AH with an hour to spare to find it was night time.
One solution is to turn down your gamma and brightness and voila! inasta-night in AH :D
I must admit i enjoyed night at first, the novelty very quickly wore off.
-

Your friend is lying. Shooting down Santa is part of the fun and no one has ever been removed from the MA for doing it.
ack-ack

Does Santa have RATO? Or was that just the beans he fed the reindeer?

[sarcasm]Your friend is lying. Shooting down Santa is part of the fun and no one has ever been removed from the MA for doing it.[/sarcasm]
Fixed.

I think HTC just makes sure you don't land the kill.
-
I would love to take my B-17s up in total darkness. good luck finding me at 25-30K but the flipside to that is finding targets in the dark isnt a breeze, but ill take my chances. Yes I am an ALT monkey!!
-
Just light up one of those,"JAPPOS" and you'll see just fine! :D
-
With the night thing, why not have spotlights to use??? THEY USED THEM ALL THE TIME.... and GVs can use lights and stuff if HTC put it in for us....night GV battles would b awesome....yeah, night fightin can b boring for the fighters...but give us GVers and bmbrs some fun!!!!! :rock :rock :rock (ps, i love ftrs just as much as bmbrs and GVs)
-
yes, to the night.
off topic a little but how about weather patterns, volumetric clouds, and snow maps?
and jet stream
-
:salute like it they should reduce the avalible planes at night things like the 110 the best night fighter we be more useful and the idear of reduced sight :salute
and lights in the cockpit and on the wings for when landing
-
but you have to think of GVs too, and towns, there would have to be lights there in town, and on some of the GVs, i agree to bring the night in, but i would prolly take some time remodeling the towns and GVs, and putting lights and such in the cockpits, ya follow? :aok
-
I'm doing a bit of night testing at the moment.
The cockpits already have lighting.
Seeing GV's on the ground at night is not hard either :aok
