I think it adds to the feeling, but they have to enhance it a bit, add a moon n stars, make it not so dark and increase normal viewability at all times of the day, and take away the mist :-P

speaking of mist, would be kinda cool to see really thick mist in some parts of EA, thick enough to hide in, maybe a petrified forest later in the game...but not like it is in IIA. Currently I think the view distance is a bit low, but thats my thought and I think its being worked on already.

Night just needs to be more visible and cooler, then it will be good.

Yea, thats true. The night does add a good feeling, but it seems mich more annoying now, i didnt really notice it much before. It is *Way* to dark, and the mist/fog in almost all times of the days is really annoying. they need to lower it very much, as stated with LOW it really messes up view distance. I think that the way at boomtown where you could see pretty far was really nice. I dont know if there are modeling errors to where with far viewdistance you can see through hills and stuff or bugs like that, and the fog was their resovling iddea =p, or if they did it on purpose.

No, keep night, just please get rid of dawn. It's waaaaaaay too bright, staring directly at the sun will hurt my eyes less than playing EA during the dawn cycle. Night makes you have to worry about getting pwnt in the dark, that's all. Even more so now because flares can only be seen by the person who shot them, unless that's been fixed.

I want them to remove the hellish red glow days, it is impossible to see then, and see anything. I want at least more clear days, so that I can see where I'm going, and so that the hellish red glow doesn't taugnt me when I'm trying to find my way. But no, if they do take out more of the foggy harder to see days, night would become a cool part of the game.

Personally I don't think night in EA is very realistic at all or adds to the experience (unless you like hitting into trees and looking for an hour for an npc thats not even suppose to be hidden). But then again a lot of users like night so I don't know. Just tally one vote for night sucks for me.

Night time in EA is nothing more then a waste of time, You might as well not bother going out once its night because you cant see anything you have to pretty much sit idle, I actually made a little tool that runs along side EA and at a set time It activates and speeds night transition to early morning so I can see again xD, only down side is a chance to disconnect :P

I Voted Yes - Take out the Night because of a few reasons.

1. The lighting is all out of ****, and as a result, my nights are even more darker then they should be.
2. Nights are annoying as heck with the reduced vision / reduced mobility factor, and I can't see a single creature at night in the middle of trees.
3. If possible, leave the game on Morning Time Only. I noticed Morning has the least amount of Lighting issues related to beind outside.
4. While I believe night adds a realistic aspect to game, it is finally just too darn long. Make 90% of Day Morning and the rest 10% Night. Take out afternoon and evening please.

I think it needs to be less dark and enhanced a lot.

It'll never be taken out completely, but we will surely redo it to less night time and more day time.

I like LordOfWar's idea.

The dynamic day day to night feature makes the game feel very alive. Getting rid of it would be a dumb idea. It's like saying the Day & Night feature in Jak and Daxter was useless.

no i think it sets the time in EA, if we just had day it would be boring and not that interesting
