Because the Tamriel sun / moons (?) Are in a different orbit ratio....or the turtle turns a different speed.

Who knew there's another hemisphere of eso players Wow logic

Well, you see, Tamriel just spins really, really fast, but only in one spot in space. That's why it switches from day to night so quickly and there aren't any changes in the seasons.

*Science*

ESO is an MMO, not a single-player game... which means it has to take into consideration the millions of players from around the world and cannot adjust the game individually.

Since ESO is played in NA, EU and Russia, it shouldnt be that of a Problem to adjust the Day/Night Cycles to these 3 Timezones, i didnt ask for a individual Cycle for every single Player ^^

And what about (simplified) the bottom half of the planet?

Right now, according to Google:
Washington DC: 8:40 PM, Berlin: 2:40 AM, Moscow: 4:40 AM....Now here in Japan, where we play ESO too: 10:40 AM.
And as they said: not everyone would like to have a day/night cycle so long in a game.

There is a day/night cycle the Tamrielic day is just under 6 hours in the real world, and there is a dawn and dusk time of the day. There is a addon that is a in game clock that gives the time in Tamriel you'll need to set it to be accurate but once done it very rarely loses time I have not had to reset it in close to a year.

So basically you want to take a *** on the bottom half of the planet (which has a sizeable chunk of the player base, especially in Australia) just so you can have a tiny bit more immersion? Yeah people like you are the worst part of this community.

It's fine the way it is, just leave it FFS.

Exactly. This is just another, "Buut I waaant itt!!!!" moment

Having a six hour day is absolutely alright - not too long, not too short. In Skyrim, one day was 72 minutes (three minutes = hour), which felt a bit short really.
One thing irks me, though: that NPCs and mobs are ignoring the weather and day/night cycle entirely, making the whole thing merely cosmetic. They don't sleep, many of them don't even move. Is it scripting limitation? Yet another case of the lazy dev syndrome? A convenience for the sake of lazy players? I wonder.

NPCs and mobs don't react to anything. They're exp pinatas scattered across every environment with no purpose in life other than waiting for a player to turn up and smash their heads in. Then they respawn a few minutes later and their eternal hellish cycle repeats indefinitely.

This is not a game where packs of wolves hunt wildlife together, bandits can be found patrolling back roads, and the alliance war is brought to life with skirmishes. The only NPCs that show any sense of "life" are the wandering merchants, and that's hardly unique to this MMO.

I think the biggest reason for this is the original (pre-beta) traditional MMO focus, making sure there are enough mobs everywhere that respawn frequently for every single player in the game. In a post-Destiny world, I get the feeling we may have seen a Tamriel where large numbers of players are only encountered in cities and around group-focused areas (Dolmens, world bosses, public dungeons), with most exterior environments being phased to the point where you only rarely run into other players (allowing for sparser mob populations for more immersion, and bigger exp gains per mob to balance), and most dungeons being solo (allowing for zero respawns so you don't feel the need to rush to the end and hope the final boss hasn't been killed already).

I'm another one who would hate this. Like most people I work during the day so I usually only get to play ESO in the evenings (and sometimes earlier on weekends if I'm not busy).

I'd absolutely hate it if I was stuck in the dark most of the time I play just because someone thinks it's "realistic" for the cycles of a fictional world in a totally different reality which doesn't even follow the same laws of physics (because Mundus runs on magic, not physics) to exactly copy those of my tiny part of the real world.

In fact it's not uncommon that I play video games to get away from the weather outside. Britain gets short days during the winter - sunrise is about 8:30am and sunset is about 4:30pm (obviously the exact time changes each day) and it's not uncommon for it to be overcast for days at a time so even during daylight you never actually see the sun or blue sky. Which means in the winter when I get home, feeling like I get up in the middle of the night, spend all day at work and come home in the middle of the night, I play RPGs specifically to immerse myself in a world where I can get better weather.

Making the day/night cycle (and even worse the weather) mimic what I get in real life would defeat the point.

If that's how you feel about us others, than why should the Devs care. It's good as it is, learn to deal with it, peace.

The reasons we disagree have been listed above multiple times. We can't make a change that negatively affects so many people simply because it would be nice for a few of us.
