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

I am happy with the current system.

I think day and night should be the same length of time, so 3 hours each.

I would prefer a different time keeping system entirely. (Please elaborate in comments.)

I heard there were sweetrolls here. Where are the sweetrolls?

✭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).Make sweetrolls, not nerfs!0 -
Kreetar✭✭✭I am actually fine with how the time system seems to work.
...and are there really no sweetrolls here?

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.PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!1 -

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!

✭✭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
) People believe what they either want to be true or what they are afraid is true!

I have, I was speaking about night in games in general, not this game specifically, I especially found it annoying in SWTOR.People believe what they either want to be true or what they are afraid is true!

1ne2woBe✭✭✭I'd prefer if the two were the same length of time. It just doesn't feel 'right' the way it currently is.1 -
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.

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. PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!5 -

I certainly do
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.PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!2 -
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.5

✭✭✭✭✭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.PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!0 -

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)Victoria Lux - Templar Tank
