Top of the day to you reading this!!

 

Maybe it's because recently I've spent much time playing on the server but if a dynamic night-day is possible added to the /vote night/day that is already in place maybe it would see more use. Climate as well helps immerse the player more not only with survival, but the conditions or real combat (moist breath in the cold, etc.) A server wide event like aerial combat once a week, 5-10 NWAF death matches of team combat. Each team might start on an end of the runway; yatta, yatta, you get the drift. The aforementioned are just creative suggestions. Thank you all for your work I enjoy my time on the server.

I do think that night time should be mandatory. Every 3rd restart should be good enough. Adding in weather is also great but only draw back is a little more resources.

tbh would love the rain to be added back in, as much as it's a resource hog and I don't have the greatest PC it adds that feel to the game of survivability, even when in PVP. Adding the cold breathe only when it's raining would be cool too, like in Namalsk. Adding the Breath would not only adapt with PVP it would make so people wouldn't be sitting in a cheeky spot where no one would ever look. you could make this less OP by making it less intense.

Well, going all the way back as far as I can remember,  any mandatory night server times have been extremely detrimental to server population over the long term.  Don't get me wrong, I myself LOVE night time for playing, but it is just a fact that during those night restarts you will never get the entire server community to join due to it being mandatory, and set by the server and not the players.  

That being said, I have already seen more night votes passed in the last month on here than any other server I have played in a hella long time.  That is awesome!!   I have noticed the server pop still drops off a little after a passing night vote,  but at least it goes night based on the decisions of the players currently on the server.  SO it obviously works to have night votes, so I would just suggest using your vote everytime a vote comes up for nighttime.

As for weather effects, while they are cool, they just affect server performance too much to be viable.  Now that the server is seeing full slots  46/46 now, it would cripple the experience to have FPS lowered when players need it the most.  So weather effects just wont happen i think.  But damn good ideas nonetheless.
