Day / Night

[EfUA_undercover]

StD and Twelve just hit the nail imo.

Nobody logs off when they get "cursed" or energy drained.  Do they?

Well, most PCs don't have the constant threat of PvP hanging over their heads the entire time they are spending in game. Also, "bestow curse" is removable for 100gp, or common items found all over the server. Energy drain is removable with a potion of lesser restoration which is one of the most common items on the server.

Light Sensitivity is impossible to remove, has no save to prevent its worst penalties - which are considerably more harmful than those of "Bestow Curse".

Walking the wilds or sewers is already difficult enough at night as it is, for your average 6th level PC.

I've never felt that the wilds were much more difficult at night than they are in the day. The only thing in the wilderness that's really scary in a "Fuck you up real bad" sort of way are the Stealthed cats, and they don't care whether it's night or not. Werewolves and nightmare bats don't really qualify as a threat, given their short perception ranges and the fact that a single invisibility potion will carry you a mile away from them.

I'll grant that the sewers would be considerably more dangerous, more of the time. So what, though? How many PCs go through the Sewers alone during the day? It's a terrible idea as it is, and don't forget that monster PCs have to worry about nightrisers the same way as everybody else.

The point I'm really trying to drive home is that this isn't nearly as big a deal as the ones who'd like to keep nights short are making it out to be, while it would improve the server's gameplay for everyone playing a light sensitive character. And all it'd take is adjusting two numbers in the toolset to be more in line with reality.

You knew what you were applying for. It would be similar to whining because you got FD'ed when playing a monster character. It's all part of the challenge.

This really has nothing to do with the subrace. I've gone to two perma-death events during the daylight hours, pvp'd and quested during them. That's not really the issue.

 It simply doesn't make sense that the day / night cycle is skewed for ....no reason.

[Mort]

It's skewed for a reason. There is always a reason. Or there was always a reason.

When efu:a started, nightriser were very deadly and the nights were very dangerous and hard to get around.

We also didn't want it to be equal so day time doesnt fall in the same timezone all the time, etc. Europe is stuck with night all the time while america is stuck with Day.

[Howlando]

Tweaked.

[Jayde Moon]

Thus it was spoken... thus it was done :)

[Yalta]

Amen!

[Underbard]

I hope "tweaked" doesn't mean longer nights.

[Fingersmith]

I hope it does mean that.
