Where is all the support if " only a few don't like night".  Thats is a lie, a massive exaggeration at the best.

I couldn't give a damn if there was a seperate arena for it, myself.  But to say it is wanted by the majority of players is simply not true


Now if im not mistaken, when night happened on christmas eve on LWblue, People left orange and deserted it and all 200 was saying for the entire time by entirely different people was something along the lines of

"AWESOME ITS NIGHT!!!!!"
or

"WHY DID THEY GET RID OF NIGHT??? I LOVE THIS!!!"

and then there was 1 or 2 people saying "nighttime sucks"

and most got a reply of "STFU!!" :lol

I have 40+ members in my squad between three wings and they would gladly play in a seperate night arena, the only whiners gripein about night are the ones who dont want there precious perks or ranks to go down. I'll always support the nightime idea always have. It would be a great break from the same ole same ole. Those of us that want the night arena dont play for those perks or rank we play for the fun and how much fun is night flying?. AWESOME..!!!!

Youre not in this alone KEN us that love playin for the sheer enjoyment are with you on this.:aok

What KKEN said, and Modas...and Smokey.

When I first came over from Fighter Ace...for the realism and to apease a pesky older brother...the thing I missed most was nights.

HTC tries to compensate with the hint of stars and relative haze at dusk and dawn, but it only lasts like 30 minutes. True night is fun. Wether it's with the right planeset or modifications to satisfy the purist is somantics, IMO.

An option should exist on the online menu arena list, as KKEN has produced, quite optimistically, I do concede. 199/200 is a stretch, Kenny. I would choose it often.

If you don't like it, no worries, no hard feelings...don't choose to enter.

:cool:

BlackJack, I do not know how long you have played, so.....
There have been many posts about the night. We had night starting in AH1, back in 1999 or 2000. You have it offline now. If you would like to try it, just type in the text buffer .time 05 30 00 and press enter. (exactly)
It's 05:30 AM, and dark. (only way I can remember it) Gotta have the .time and spaces like I entered above.

While all the previous posts were asking to "bring back the night", then we only had 1 arena. Since then, I imagine it was the same, add it to the MA. This is why it was removed, because it was "forced" upon the players.

My proposed solution, and I am repeating myself, is to make a "New Arena" that is NOT a part of any other arena. There it can be Night all the time, save a little dawn and dusk. This way the purists, the folks who don't want night, and anyone else can just stay away if they don't care to use it. The rest of us can spend a little time in the dark, if we choose to, and will have our own place to enjoy it without all the whining and belly-aching. (well there will still be HO's, and the usual stuff)

All we want is to have the option. (like expressed here) I know, 199/200 may not be realistic, but it makes me grin....I would LMAO if it were ever "closed". Then the Night whiners would be up in arms!  "We need More room"... Yes, I have a dream. (Sorry - Stole it from Martin Luthur King)

FYI, I posted a cross-post in the "Wishlist" area that might be the better forum. I started here, thinking since it already exists in AH, that the "Wishlist" forum would not be appropriate. That is supposed to be for New "things". Night is not new, but a New Arena is... my bad. I hope that HiTech and Pyro, and other powers will look here since I linked it. Roy told me it should have gone there in his reply to my email request. Post there or here, unless otherwise instructed.

Check out my new ideas there too. Do a little brain-storming, use your imagination too.

Keep the faith all, and lets continue to let these folks know we are determined and sincere.
Thank you all for your continued support.
"Open a New Arena for the Night."

Salute

KKEN, why don't you call HT Monday morning and ask him? I'm sure you'll get some kind of answer. Plead your case to him there. If he's kinda on the fence with this thing and wants more input, THEN spam the message boards.

I don't see anything wrong with your idea, and personally I don't think it will be all that popular after the first couple of weeks. HT may have a good reason why he can't or won't do it, but you'll never know till ya ask.

I think its a good idea, learning new stuff in a night time scenario.I'm all for it,especially cv landings.
Dont like the idea of night fighting? Change arenas, not a difficult choice.
I dont take much notice of thought bashers and whiners,that is what 200 is for.

Well, on 200 last christmas, EVERYONE was leaving LWOrange and going to LWBlue. They were so happy it was night and were wondering why it wasnt around anymore. Then there were about 2 or 3 people saying night sucked and they all got the mandatory "STFU!" :lol

You know, to be honest, I could make a call, but I do not think it is appropriate to take HiTech or the HTC creations staff away for a moment to call and bend their ears. They have plenty on their plate now. It may be a good idea, but I am going to elect to not make that call right now. I hope the email and posts are enough to get their attention and let them review it when they have time.

To say it would be unpopular after a couple of weeks, may be correct or premature.  I think it will take longer, IMO, for people to even notice it is available!  They will, more likely, just hit their usual hang out without a glance. (I usually do if I am in a hurry) If the little saying that loads before the game connects says "Did you know..." or if there was a MOTD that announced it, even then some folks may not even see it right away. It takes time for the community to wake up to new things, as many posts here indicate.

I do appreciate your input and ideas, thank you.
