Weather- and Day & Nightcycle

[Arlorz]

Hello,

I'm playing this game since 2013 and I always thought about how cool it would be to run Elites while it's raining, standing in town at night surrounded by flickering lights.
This would bring SO much variety into this game!
Running mausoleum all over again to reach Acolyte rank, and again, and again... until it bored you enough to take a short break from the game.
With a weather and day & night cylce, i think the atmosphere in this game would be so much better.
Hearing the rain in the background and seeing the lights of a bolt, accompanied by a thunder, damn i would love to run elites!
Even running maps at night, it would be just so much cooler!
Standing at paradise pier at night while watching at all these toons running around with beautiful, shimmering particle-effects, damn i can't stop raving.

Is it needed? No.
Will it improve the feeling while running maps and farming for items, and would towns like paradise pier look dope at night? Oh yes!

Leave your thoughts here, i can't be the only one with that wish!
Of course there are other things which are "more important" but this game is 4 years old and i think it's time for some small details as well.

This is what it could look like in Travelers Outpost:



Thanks for reading!

+1 yes day and night cycle would be great. Like graveyard it has a dark them to it when running the map.

Bad idea if u ask me. When its daytime in America its night where im from. So i would be playing AL constantly in the dark. My mage will fall ill due to lack of sunlight.

Great idea ! why not ? and we can have a fixed time in game . It would help people .

[Naughtiest]

I told you why not. I will be playing in the dark 90% of the time. Thats not fair.

Pretty idea, but I tell you something. I have seen many threads about your idea since 2013. And STS always ignore it :V

Probably should have put an option to follow the current day/night or your timezone .

oh wait that would make the fixed time looks weird .

nah so i think weathers could happen lol .

[Naughtiest]

Well in that case put in an option to play in day environment or night environment any time. Same thing right?

Definitely would be a cool addition to the game. And perhaps it could have consequences in battle. For example, if there is bad weather then you wouldn't be able to shoot a bow or gun or throw an axe as far as if the weather was good. Also, if it was dark then you wouldn't be able to see as far ahead of where you are as you would otherwise.

I'm sure this would take some extensive programming to add this to the game.

Definitely a nice idea, but I'm pretty sure this is too much to ask for.
I think the atmosphere itself is really worth it.

[Candyloverz]

Omg this would be so cool ! +1 for thisssss

[epicrrr]

A night/day cycle and a weather system that can be turned on or off in options. Yes please!

Count me in.. My head.. My head.. In.. 😆😆😆😆

[MrsAnnoying]

Liked the idea :3 +1

[Gouiwaa9000]

+1 , i always tough sts should focus abit more on making the game look better rather than constantly adding new gameplay ( we have enough of that for now , i know there some poeple that play 24/7 and already completed the expansion , but most the poeple didnt event reach lightbearer yet )

adressing the issue of time zones , why not give AL its own day that last around 2 hours of real time ?

[Rehired]

I told you why not. I will be playing in the dark 90% of the time. Thats not fair.

Why would a game ever in the world have a normal 12 hour day and night cycle? Have you or do you play GTA? Did you notice how the days are less than 2-3 hours each? That's how AL could be. Rn we could have snow.

Great idea though, +1
