The people already answered that question long time ago. Night time was introduced into AH because people thought it would be cool. Few months later, they started regretting it.
However, the moment it is embedded as a regular element in gameplay people soon come to realize that it sucks.
Maybe a night time every once a week.. something like that might work. But having night time as a regular part of MA sucks. It just makes a classic case of "becareful what you wish for".
With all due respects,
Your speaking for yourself and others that feel as you do. Not the community as a whole.
I remember when night was here and I remember when it was disabled to "Put the whines on the other side of the fence"
Each tme the subject was brought up there were just as many people arguing for night as there were against it.
Not everyone thought thought it "sucked". Certainly not a huge majority of those that post on the boards. The issue was and pretty much still is an even split.
I know I certainly never thought it sucked. I thought it was one of the more cooler aspects of the game. and I never had my gamma turned up anywhere near to the point where it would be considered near daylight conditions.
Actually if you couldnt see anything during night time odds are your gamma was set wrong to begin with and only needed a minor adjustment to make it night yet still have things visable just as they were ment to be.
Now maybe some adjustments could have been made to the amount of time is was night. but I liked it. And certainly dont find it as much as a pain as I find say.. the way the sun is slightly overdone now. And getting rid of either altogether was, and is a bit on the drastic side
Yea some folks would log off when darkness came. But hardly what would be considered significant numbers. and 99 times out of 100 they came right back as soon as the sun came up again.
These folks mostly (not all) are people who are of the "If your not gonnna play the game MY way Im gonna take my ball and go home" pouting type.
Well fine, Go. See ya when the sun shines.
I'd like to see night back. Maybe they could adjust it so it doent happen as frequently or for as long as it used to so to apease a greater segment of the players. Say once a night for 2/3,s of the time it was.
It would also give bases a chance to lick their wounds and resupply and/or to counter that horde offencive with an attack of their own.
I say bring back the night. and those that wish to take their ball and go home , well let em go.
tjhey will only be missed for as long as it takes to get into the next fight anyway.
And they will be back when the sun shines.
