Guild Wars 2

Hey guys, so i have a question that had been bugging me since i started to play this game, how does time pass in tyria? (Mind, im not sure how to phase the question)
I remembered one time i saw the sun rise while standing in ebonhawk, and my real life hour at the time was around 3-4am. I know that some event only appear during the night (lady in white for example), and since i’ve never seen this event or heard anyone talking about this til now, i figured not alot of people is in Queensdale at night. But then, the only time when i noticed it night is when my sylvari glow. So i guess my question is, is there a way to tell if that place is night without loading there? Or what timezone is brisban wildland is in compare to plains of ashford?
Thanks

Day and night

The game uses a 2-hour day/night cycle: day lasts for 70 minutes, night for 40 minutes, with dawn and dusk taking 5 minutes each. Some events only begin during one of these time periods, some NPCs only appear at certain times, and some food and equipment confers bonuses during either night or day. In addition, the explorable paths of five dungeons and five Fractals of the Mists always take place during the night; the others are always during the day.

Straight from the wiki.

Ah….thanks for answer

I think the cycle of 70 minutes of day starts at 12 midnight GMT and there after every 2 hours. I was trying to take a picture of my Sylvari mesmer during the night to see her glow patters and night seemed to start at quarter after the hour right on schedule. So night starts at 1:15 GMT, 3:15, 5:15, etc.

Not that the change is noticeable unless paying attention to it specifically… Could do with just a bit darker nights.

Day/night in this game are almost the same,just small difference.There were many treads where players asked from devs to give us proper Night…dark nights but it didnt happen.

Last night at the charrs location it was very dark. I wonder if there was done something ?
