Guild Wars 2

Hey readers…

I wanted to talk to you guys about Day/Night cycles.

Currently in the game, we have a day/night cycle in all explorable open world maps.

…but the only place I’ve ever noticed this making significant changes to anything was in the cemetary in Queensdale.

(At night in the cemetary, bats spawn, and a spooky quest is available, both of which are absent during the day.)

Why isn’t more of our game world like this?

I know that we have Sylvaris that glow in the dark…. and sigils that operate differently at different times of day…. but other than that I can’t really think of anything directly affected by the day/night cycle.

Are there any other areas of the game you have noticed where players can see the day/night cycle having distinct differences?

Is this something you would like to see more of throughout the game world?

I certainly would.

Thanks for reading.

wel, a sigil of night or Eternity would help

Royal Ascalonian weapons glow at night.

SAB and Radiant skins glow beautifully at night.

yep…. can’t forget about the weapon skins… thanks for reminding me guys.

There are some food items that function differently between day and night also…

But I was asking more along the lines of like…. different events…. or enemies that may spawn due to it being night rather than day or vice versa.

Day and Night having an effect on the map you are on so to speak.

Shadow Behemoth only comes out at night.

From some of the prerelease info, it sounds like it’s gonna play a significant part in meta events in HoT

There’s a only-night event around ... let me see where it was now... forgot the location lol.
Anyway, there’s a haunted house to an Ascalonian female necromancer that are capturing little Charr cubs when they go near her house.
Which is pretty cool battle,

Shadow Behemoth only comes out at night.

It’s really sad that nighttime is so bright that I never noticed this.

The Lion’s somethingoranother inn for the karka killing Princess collection only opens at night. …Yeah, cuz that’s fun. In 3 years, it’s the first time day/night has mattered to me.
