Are you happy with how time works in the game?

MornaBaine

Currently game days are 6 hours long, with 4 hours being daylight hours and 2 hours being nighttime.

Inversus

More darkness
go vampires

AshySamurai

IMO it's okay as it is. I'm afraid it'll be too hard to players to calculate if ZOS makes dynamic system like seasons (sometimes day<night -> day=night -> day>night -> day=night and so on).

Kreetar

I am actually fine with how the time system seems to work.

...and are there really no sweetrolls here?

The problem is weather, not daytime.

Circuitous

Aside from sunrise occurring at 2am I'm pretty okay with how time works.

Pass the sweet rolls...I don't care what they do with time as long as there are sweet rolls with pecans.

Tabbycat

I was going to vote that I'm happy. But then I read there were sweetrolls and now I want my sweetroll.

Mhm, sweetrolls... in the dark.

Ganacampo

I am completely happy with it.

Not disagreeing with you but can you tell me why you feel day being longer than night is a good thing? Just curious.

First off I would much prefer if there is a way to know the current game date/time with current moon phase

Inversus

I'd have thought most people would prefer night
I certainly do

The current cycle is better than having it reflect real time. Sometimes logging in to nighttime is a bit depressing.

Agreed twice! I HATE not knowing the time and having to have a less than completely reliable add-on to even get in the ballpark.

MornaBaine

nevermind

Leeric

I'm not sure why the days are twice as long, I'm even more confused when they have a skill line attributed to the night yet night is 2 hours long. Bring on the night!

Pseudolo

I'm fine with it as it is, but I'd like it better if we had a 3/3 system...

I generally find night in games a nuisance, since it just makes resources harder to spot, and doesn't add that much to immersion imo, or course other people disagree (how dare they )

And bacon.

Equal on both sides and darker nights.

Keen Eyes and night make resource hunting MUCH easier. Give it a try.

I have, I was speaking about night in games in general, not this game specifically, I especially found it annoying in SWTOR.

I'd prefer if the two were the same length of time. It just doesn't feel 'right' the way it currently is.

Rodario

While I don't mind the current system, I'd prefer it be based on real world time i.e. when it's night in your time zone, it's night ingame.

EDIT: Why is this a private poll?

Why shouldn't it be? Logically speaking, people tend to feel more free to be honest when given anonymity. Then they need not fear to speak of their unholy love for sweetrolls.

I have to admit I'm a little surprised by the results so far myself. But I'm betting all those sweetroll lovers are creatures of the night so...so we can totally count them with us.

Probitas

Time has no meaning really in terms of access to NPC's, they are always available (unlike in solo TES games where people went home at night and locked the stores up). At least make them the same length.

MornaBaine

I do wonder why people seem to like the current system. It just seems really weird to me to have a 4 hour day and a 2 hour night. I wish ZoS would tell us why they made that particular decision in the first place.

Why wouldn't days be longer than nights? Our day/night cycle is roughly 16/8 (summer, Europe, the game world is also locked in summer I think)
