This week there will be crazy customization options like being able to change engram costs and recipes or even eliminating certain tech from the game completely. I hope that we don't choose to make changes that make the game easier. If anything i'd rather see things made harder. Just wanted to put this out to the community to see how others felt.
Was thinking about that too. Only thing Id consider, is maybe Cutting dino taming down some, so its more like 30-3 hours. Tonight ill be changing the Day/night cycle. But not sure about other parts of the server just yet. I do like some peoples ideas of a Stoneage only type setting, were no guns and such, but doubt that fly well with people.
I hope you don't go with 45 minute days and 15 minute nights. That would seriously break immersion. I know you have 3-4 people nodding to your initial thinking but I urge you to consider not increasing days to 6o minutes and not making it 75% daylight. The night lighting in this game is superior and really fantastic. It's one of the top draws I have for this game. It would be a serious drag to suffer 45 minute daylight and only get a brief 15 minute nighttime paradise. I spoke with my tribe last night and they felt similarly. Don't ruin the night.
Don't speak with your tribe about it. Have them join the Discussion. I go off what people say in the forums in the Discussion. If people don't voice their Concerns then I'm not hunting them down to get it out of them. Summer time is about 60/40 while winter is 40/60 depending where you live and such. The other problem with night time, its a damn Off switch now... there is no more Sunset or Sunrise.
I don't experience an on/off switch so I am not sure what you are referring to or why it's a problem. I see a transition from night to day and day to night. I love the visual transformation. It could be my computer and game settings. I have everything turned up and I have an exceptional 144Mhz gsync monitor. Beautiful game. Love the lighting at night. Yes it's black in the shadows but if you clear trees it's easy to see like at night with clear skies IRL. It really gives immersion to the gaming experience. Also my tribe guys do check this forum but spend more time ingame than on the Internet at large. They aren't going to be able to stay in tune with a discussion that starts and ends in a day or so. You'll need to post potential server option changes in the server to drive those players to these forums.
Just putting this out there, the day/night cycle is only equal at the equator. The further away you go, the more drastic the deviation. I remember the first time I was I visited Alaska. Quite the shock to experience sunset at 4am, then sunrise at 6am, with no real darkness in between.
Given that it's a tropic island, it's likely going to be around the equator and closer to 50/50. But that said I asked everyone who was on last night if they experienced day/night like an on/off switch and folks saw the natural transition from day to night and back to day. It's dark at night but that's true IRL. When you are around light sources like those drops its bright like a street light IRL and when in shadows of trees it's pitch black also like IRL. A torch, which is in the game, makes night easy to navigate. And the dynamic lighting and shadows look incredible.
other than taming time not worried about anything else, personally tech should stay in, cuz yanno i just spent ages building lights so night wouldnt matter lol, at least not on our island, though i guess for people with little access to oil that could be an issue. I think with the new helmet nights also not so bad.
I was wondring if we maby coud put animal spwaning whit a littel higer lvl. It woud be nice to have lik 40-50 lvl animels,so not 70% off the animels are round 1-10 lvl,want them som higer. What do you guys think about that?
