Guild Wars 2

I wonder how the in-game “day and night time” is working – how long is a GuildWars 2 whole day in a area ? It isnt like in real life 24 hours, thats for sure, right !?

What is the point of turning day into night ?
My point is that I actually having issues about night-time when I play. Everything feels dark (of course) and gloomy and alot more not so great things when it turns into night. At least for me it feels much better to play in lovely colorfull enviroment during daytime. Everything becomes a lot more fun I think.
Is it only me ?

And probably just becouse im thinking about it when I play it seems to me that its nighttime much more than daytime. Typical :P

I understand that it shouldnt only be daytime all the time everywhere. Nighttime also brings a lot of things to the game as glowing things etc. Does anyone know more about the effects and difference on enviroment between day and night ?

Could it be a valuable suggestion to look into this ?

I believe that day time is about 80 minutes and night time is about 40 minutes in length (I cannot remember exactly how long it is, but it’s something like that).

The only thing that irks me about it is it’ll be night time in one place (ex: like being in an overflow) and when I go to another zone (or go to the main server) it’s day time. That’s just a little weird to me. But it’s livable. I don’t mind it. Zones seem to have their own little timers in regards to that.

I believe the reason for this was, for some people the time they play would be either always day or always night depending on when they are able to play and where they live. In another game I played, I usually could only play at night, so it was always ever night during my playtime. I didn’t get to see day time very often. If this was the case in GW2, I still would only be ever seeing night time.

So, this method is very nice for those of us who play “at night” to be able to see the sun. =P
