    Come on, SOE. This has over 60 PAGES of response. Give your players what they want.

    Alongside with the darker nights, vehicle turrets should have an option of searchlights to light up area they're aiming at. Liberators and Galaxies should also have searchlights which light up the ground area to help other soldiers fight enemy. Mosquito should have an option of a front light.

    How long does it take for SOE to act on a suggestion thread? If an idea this popular doesn't catch a second glance, why have this forum in the first place?

    If you're not gonna listen to us then don't give us the illusion of agency. That's just cruel...

    Maybe making the flashlight a free weapon attachement for every weapon. Anyway, nobody buys a stupid flashlight for 100 certs.

    I think its a dreadful idea but it seems loads of the community want it. I hated it in beta and Im sure to hate it again. Im thinking they should have differing time zones across the continents so if its night on indar you can go and play day time on esamir or amerish.

    It would not be everywhere... just outside any bases. Ie, Techplants would be lit the hell up while the middle of the sea bed would be dark as hell

    That's pretty much the idea. There's three (or maybe more?) continents- that means three different time zones. Assuming Auraxia has a similar rotational speed to Earth- that means that only a third of the 'day' cycle would be night- so only one continent would be night at a time.

    You've misinterpreted what I said. SOE can keep everybody happy this time, simply by bringing back beta night and giving the continents their own time zones. If they did it that way you could play night time warrior 24/7 if you wanted to and i could play sunshine soldiers without ever having to see the night. Everybodys happy.

    100% with this. Needs to be done, night-time was the 4th faction in this game while I learned how to fly low to the ground. It often won.

    Had another laugh about this last night in outfit chat. "Oh no, it's night, I better go equip my night vision because I can only see EXACTLY THE SAME DISTANCE as I can during the day"...

    *Seeing this garbage, wondering why my fun-thread got deleted again*

    Topic:
    Like every night I would just raise my gamma to daylight again and killing ppl who doesn't so, better for me!
    DO IT! :eek:

    You could raise your gamma, but it wouldn't do you much good - not if the night was properly implemented, anyway. To make nights viable, they'd have to put a cap on maximum distance before object is rendered the same color as the background, unless illuminated.

    I'd also like another scope. Relegate IRNV to a day/night 2x scope meant to see through smoke/dust and enhance contrast, then create a short-range thermal, optimized specifically for night-time combat.

    Flashlight would counter IRNV to some degree and thermal severely.
