Do any of you think that Huxley will have a day time night time like some other games.

I haven’t herd anything about this, and I thought that sort of feature would make the game more interactive.

Maybe in an expantion but i havn't heard anything about the release if it will have that.

Saint · 17-06-2006, 06:13 PM

I really do hope so because, thers nothing more fun than fighting in night missions. Really sorts the men out from the boys, you start to spray and your a dead man.

Plus it just looks really cool.

If they do that hopefully they can make the night life beautiful so when you're going in you see abunch of lights in every city lighting it up but dark places make it dark and gotta use your night vision+listening to sound for twig breaks/leave brushes etc.

Element · 18-06-2006, 12:48 AM

Im almost sure it will, come on day time 24/7? lol

Felix12g · 18-06-2006, 03:05 AM

Depends on how they have the maps set up in the engine. Wouldn't be hard to program a base slider attached to time to run the lights up and down to simulate a day. Besides, the videos show different lighting so I imagine it does rather than different zones have different daytimes.

Lazermatt · 18-06-2006, 03:11 AM

Almost EVERY game I've played has this feature now, so its a dead cert its gonna be in Huxley regarding the fact its an MMO game. And most MMO's do have Day/night toggle.

x-play · 18-06-2006, 08:24 PM

if it will be like what youre saying..that would be awesome!

Dementus · 18-06-2006, 08:29 PM

Night and day is pretty much certain, but the timescale it uses may range from 1:1 to something like 1:12.

Justice · 18-06-2006, 08:40 PM

I would definently like to be able to have battles in the night.

Silenoz666 · 18-06-2006, 11:31 PM

Night and day will definately add a lot more gameplay options. Nightvision gear and such, certain characters would have advantages in the dark. Definately should be in the game, and probably will.

Exilimus · 20-06-2006, 07:19 AM

Hmmm...that would be pretty friggin' shweet...but will they really put that kind of thing in? Sorta reminds me of Morrowind...:D

Felix12g · 20-06-2006, 07:51 AM

Nighttime has always been an iffy proposition in a computer game. There's many settings to adjust gamma, contrast and and tweak out video card settings to reduce the effect of darkness. Things like that to totally negate nighttime or heavily shadowed situations as well as sometimes cancelling handicaps you find at night.

There's the point of it being pitch black, but then you'd lose anybody who didn't have the money to purchase nightvision or required equipment.

Hunt77 · 20-06-2006, 09:32 AM

I hope so, light and dark can change the gameplay a lot

What I was thinking is when the time of night arrives everything dims, nothing goes pitch black, and the stars show up and you see the shattered remains of the moon in orbit around the planet.

I also thought that during this time nothing changes in regards to stats because that would mean at any certain time you would get a huge amount of a single type of player that would get some sort of benefit at that given time.

And in regards to night vision I would assume that any armor would come with some sort of lighting and or night vision fearure.

nubs · 20-06-2006, 12:38 PM

Yea day/night cycles would be a rather good addition to the game... and weather!

Rain, snow, fog, wind storms etc

Primetimekillz · 21-06-2006, 04:14 PM

It would be cool if they had the game set to follow real time...by this I mean when it's night time in real life the game goes to night time and day time it's light out. I wouldn't go with this in servers for battles but in the city i think it would be pretty cool.

Lazermatt · 21-06-2006, 06:00 PM

They did that in World of Warcraft. One problem of it is the different time zones. If they make servers US time it meens EU will basically ALWAYS be fighting around morning time. But also they could make EU and US seperate servers but that would suck because i have alot of mates who i cant play WoW with due to game version.

Primetimekillz · 21-06-2006, 07:19 PM

ahhhh good point....I tried to reason my way around that but couldnt think of anything....If I come up with something I'll bring it to the table
