Guild Wars 2

Long ago ArenaNet talked about how night and day would be a big difference with events and people only available to do or find at certain times. I have 4 80’s and several other alts and in all that time spent mapping/doing events/hearts/exploring I have never once not been able to find an event or seen a new event,etc because it was nighttime versus daytime. Also, let’s be honest, 95% of the time the difference visually between most if not all map zones is almost ZERO when it switches from night to day. The light levels are so bright during a supposed “night time” that your basically wasting server resources to have this effect in the coding.

Since the fractals came and we now know what night time could have been, the current setup is even more of a joke.

I’d love to see an actual night time visual be instated across all map zones as well as random weather effects, which we all know is possible.

Realistically the only effect the daily cycle currently has on the game is to make AC weapons turn blue.

yea i agree i barely can notice the deference between night and day cycle and it would be more effective to make the night a real night with darker tone , that would add alot to the game depth

yep agree:D. but weather also slows down most computers and you dont wanna lag in a fight so add a weather disable button so that person cant see the weather but everyone else that has enabled weather can see it.
night/day cycle is cool and darker nights is a good idea. but i want campfires that last untill day. a cheep item that you can buy to make nights epic. imagine pitch black and a little fire light then centars attack you

I’m quite sure I walked through some rain in bloodtide yesterday, it was cloudy and heard thunder while it was pouring.
Could be area specific though have to check again if it’s always there.
I totally agree on the night’s, they have to be much darker!
I remember in Dragon’s Dogma that night’s were very dark and you had a lamp that you put on your belt, going out at night was scary as hell in that game
In the video you can see the player taking out his lamp and the scary effect this has on the dark surroundings.

I love that idea! lol And I completely agree.

Day/Night cycle effecting the world would be really cool down the line, very worthy of a place on the suggestion pile! So many fun possibilities…
