Get rid of eorzea time and just use real time

[Munba]

Absolutely not if you ask me.
I would play only during the night time (in eorzea) during the week in this way and this would be just bad. I think the 1 hour day light is perfect and increase gameplay situations (events, quests, etc.).

I'd honestly rather day/night be mostly a visual thing rather than have tons of things in the game based on it.

1-2 hours for a whole days is good anything more like real times is horrible imagine waiting till the next day in game to finish a quest.

'next game day" could easily be changed to "in an hour".

This system would be even more confusing to ppl that are not in the zone of servers location. Especially if u don't care about ur region and instead pick a server where u made the most friends in 1.0.
And I don't fancy playing nightime only either

I wrote a similar topic in French forums 2 month ago, I also wrote one 3 years ago during 1st alpha on alpha forums, on both so far I never got answers from dev, what I suggested both time was to increase the duration of a day/night cycle, in v1.0 it was 70 min, it's not realistic, it's too short, you can't enjoy the light of a specific hour more than 30 sec, it's a pitty, especially now that they released Beta night screenshots of Gridania that look quite great, it makes me want even more to have longest day and night.

Here is the link to my French thread:

[Requête pour ARR] Augmenter la durée d'une journée

What I asked is at least to double it, to make a complete day/night cycle to last 2h20 (or 2h10, the extra 10 min is for shift in order to never have the same Eorzea time each day at the same earth time for people who play only at same hours everyday and want to see different things each time) or more, 3h10 seems great.

As for things that trigger with day/night, there is plenty of way to adapt them without increasing the time between their occurrences, so for me it's not an excuse to not touch the duration of this cycle, I explained and showed examples in my french topic.

I would, without a doubt, hate this if it were ever implemented. I like the hourly change of atmosphere in game brought about by the day/night cycle.

[Quesse]

I don't really like this idea. I like all the servers having the same time.

Matching to real time is really dumb because for those of us who get out of work late it would be night everytime we play. I need my Vitamin D.

I kinda like the way it was in 1.0. Assuming that some spawns will only occur at certain times a day, it gives everyone the opportunity to camp them. 1:1 or even a 1:2 relationship would not achieve that.

Sorry, but watching the day turn to night and vice versa was always one of my favorite things about not just mmos, but video games. And if the pics I've seen are any indication, something tells me ARR will be doing it beautifully. Also, I don't want to miss out on daytime events because I have to play at nighttime, or nighttime events because I have to play at daytime.
