YarwoodUK Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Which of the following would you prefer to play? 1 - 24/7 Day. 2 - split (i.e. 16 Hour Day - 8 Hour Night) 3 - If the server restarts every 4 hours - would you like 3 hours of daytime, 1 hours of night-time per restart? Your feedback and suggestions are appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nasdero Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 If a server restarts every 4h, I would like to have 3h day time and 1h night time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GasT Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Option nr.3 sounds good to me. Thanks for asking. Edit: Would prefer 3h server cycles, 2h day and 1h night.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santa Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Option 2. Nighttime is lovely. Brings a whole new aspect of surprises. 3hday/1h night: 1h just passes by way to fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to have to agree with Cookiezz, One hour goes by way too quick... 50/50 split. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldSchool Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 I prefer 2 servers hived together on a 24hr cycle seperated by 12 hrs. This way if it is 8am on server 1 it will be 8pm on server 2. I just think accelerated time can cause lighting and weather to change in an instant.

Nic Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 I prefer 2 servers hived together on a 24hr cycle seperated by 12 hrs. This way if it is 8am on server 1 it will be 8pm on server 2. I just think accelerated time can cause lighting and weather to change in an instant. There was a similar thing on Dayz Origins servers where the lighting would change dramatically a couple times a day, instead of gradually and it overexposed the screen for a second (like taking off nvgs) and it was annoying. I would be interested to see how smooth the day/night transitions are on a accelerated time server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nedfox Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 I voted 50/50 split on 4 hour cycles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Submerged Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 I would prefer a 1 hour night per 3 hours of day, or maybe even 50/50 on 5 hour restart :) I hate that every time i play it's night time, due to the fact i have school/work in the day hours.

Zombiemeatspin Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 3 hours daytime 1 hour nighttime and no nighttime with weird gamma full moon please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GungZA Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 How aboot Start Midday -> Evening - Restart - > Night -> Morning -> Restart. best of all worlds. yeah that would be great, unfortunately i think currently they can only set the server to start at say 15:00 end then restart 18:00 unless they do it manually every time.

Uro Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 We can accelerate the game time to make time pass quicker :) Example: Server on 4 hour restart with an Acceleration factor of 4 (4 hours for every actual hour of gameplay) Start Game Time = 0600 1st Hour Game Time = 1000 2nd Hour Game Time = 1400 3rd Hour Game Time = 1800 4th Hour Game Time = 2200 - Restart There are other settings that effect daylight / moonlight in Arma which we're also tweaking. This is why we are asking the players opinion on Day/Night cycles. I think I can speak for all the Official Hosters when I say we're tweaking for the correct balance of Day/Night - Night time plays a big part in Epoch :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are most likely correct, But hey you never know right ^^ We can accelerate the game time to make time pass quicker :) Example: Server on 4 hour restart with an Acceleration factor of 4 (4 hours for every actual hour of gameplay) Start Game Time = 0600 1st Hour Game Time = 1000 2nd Hour Game Time = 1400 3rd Hour Game Time = 1800 4th Hour Game Time = 2200 - Restart There are other settings that effect daylight / moonlight in Arma which we're also tweaking.

I think I can speak for all the Official Hosters when I say we're tweaking for the correct balance of Day/Night - Night time plays a big part in Epoch :) If i recall right , using Accel time will cause a "Spike" when performed, Could cause problems when the player is doing something delicate at that time, Altho i must add Epoch requires night time imo.
