The nightly night whine thread

It was nice being able to always play with atleast some light, night is just annoying, it's fun one map or another, but not for multiple hours. If you want to play and join at dusk, you have to play ages until the sun shines again, it takes ages until dawn, sometimes your whole gaming session is at night :/
My Idea:
Remove the hour system, make it a simple Dawn-Day-Day-Dusk-Night-Dawn cycle, changing after each map (double day, as its summer!). So you always get multiple light effects even while playing only a short ammount of time.

Night time hurts my eyes. It's just not healthy. Sure, I loved it the first time, it was refreshing. Then I started hating it.
Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt.

Night time is just plain stupid I don't understand why it was implemented again. I max my gamma but still can't see shit. And to maximize the fun I have nightime when it's morning and the sun is shining in my monitor.

I always liked the weather/day/night system, but I will have to admit that it was better when it ran on a cycle and not totally random.  :cry: :cry: :cry:

This is probably just me, but I'm actually having issues seeing my and other people's weapons (particularly swords) at night.
There was a post somewhere (on the taleworlds forums i think) where someone had made some changes to the night mode (made it somewhat less dark).

If your computer can manage it turn HDR on, it makes the game a bit brighter.

Perhaps you should try messing with the brightness of your monitor then?

Will be very good if ingame day-night cycle will be not equal to real.
Let ingame 4 hours will be equal to 24 in real life. And percentage of day and night (read bellow)
I mean let : dawn 20%  day 50% sunset 20% and night only 10%. Keep our eyes pls.
Of course all "time zone" are funny to play, but it's a game or earth planet simulator?

P.s. night time playing seriously affect to eyes health (they are all time stressful).
For a short period it ok cos it's funny. For long (like now) it's bad.

Remove the hour system, make it a simple Dawn-Day-Day-Dusk-Night-Dawn cycle, changing after each map (double day, as its summer!). So you always get multiple light effects even while playing only a short ammount of time.

The current system is hacky enough, but due to technical limitations having it work per-server would require way too much (programming) effort and wouldn't work reliably anyway.
I guess the easiest thing to do is shorten the night part of the cycle a bit.

Maybe change the current cycle to 1h dawn, 3h day, 1h dusk, 0.5h night, this way you get 1 or 2 night maps in a row maximum, and not 3h nightly fun.
