Runescape Night-Day mode + You think Jagex planning this?

[Dire_Wolf]

I notice how nice the Campfire at Rimmington near Chemist was (Adjusted brightness to lowest) It looks like evening..

 

 

 

 

Then it how nicer that Campfire would be, if it was dark in runescape as in : Night...

 

 

 

 

 

Now the thing is there is no "Night" and "Day" in Rs. Some adjust their "brightness" to get a kinda night looking effect...

 

 

 

But it fully dosn't give the effect as a real "Night" should.

 

 

 

Timezone difference is not hard to deal with, so that is very easy to arrange so that everyone experiences Day-Night mode.

 

 

TIMEZONE SOLUTIONS:

 

 

it wouldnt have real time effects though, it would most likely use a Runescape Standard Time (RST) which goes about 3x or 4x as fast as normal time? each day lasts about 6 hours maybe? 3 hours light 3 hours dark? that way everyone could experience both day and night :P

 

 

 

a rather intruiging idea indeed, and i think ive got a solution fot the whole timezone problem: Make a whole day last 2 -4 hours (2 i think is teh best) so anyone who plays longer could see morning , evening, day and night pass. Similiar thing has been introduced into soem other mmo games. and of course they could make servers that are "normal" with only everlasting day , like now.

 

 

 

 

 

These are pictures posted by me and other players! NIGHT Would and should be better than this when Jagex makes it!

 

 

 

EDIT: Here's how "Night" would be, but this is a picture i have made! and it's not so great.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Picture: Of another "Night" , but this is to dark. And it should be "Blue" instead of dark. (Well done , whoever made it)

 

 

 

 

What do you think? Do you want Runescape to have a Night and Day thing?

 

 

 

I do :lol: this way the atmosphere will be nice. ;)

 

 

 

Also here's solution if Players find Night to dark:

But Jagex can make "Night" better.

But, its hard with the timezones as you wouldn't always want to log in when it's "night" or not be on long enough to see the difference.

[Brinner]

If its optional, sure.

The Night and Day can be adjusted based on servers/worlds? So that, if your in Canada...you use a Canadian Server...and you see the night+day and the change..

 

 

 

 

 

Also here's how the atmposhere will be, when it comes to campfires at night.

Good diagram. I like the idea.

Try to think outside of the box here with me.

 

 

 

You could have accelerated days, meaning a day could be twelve hours (or any other incriment of time) so you would be able to notice the difference. Another option would be to have a 22 hour day in order to have a 2 hour offset. With this setup, daytime takes place when it would have been night a week ago, and vice-versa. (This would also work with 11 hour days, so you could notice the passing of an entire day over just the half a day you are awake, and would also have the benefit of the offset day.)

 

 

 

 

 

But I have to say, being a WoW player, it is first of all very fun to have day/night cycles, and makes the game much more realistic. (Especially with sunsets and sunrises in Booty Bay in the Eastern Kingdoms. The clouds are great, and make it seem actually tropical when they turn purple and such over the ocean.) Another great thing is we have a specific server to play on, and each server has it's own time. The server I am on happens to have the same time as my local time, so the sun sets when the sun sets here, and the sun rises when it rises here. That also means daytime is during daytime, and night time is during night time, which makes your gameplay much more imersing.

[volov1]

that would be pretty cool actually... a night time runescape... hmm...

[Dire_Wolf]

I think Jagex has this idea in their mind...but that it's not so certain at the moment...

 

 

 

I also believe that they maybe will try to fix the weather to look better :o

I don't think you're going to get a ton of responses to this just because of the fact everyone has wanted day and night (especially if it's optional) for a very very long time. People are probably too lazy to respond to something so known to be saught after.

What kind of responses?

[highlanders]

Would be amazing, really great atmosphere. Maybe in a year or two.

I've played a game (can't think of which one it was) that would have 3 hours of day - 1 hour of night. You wouldn't need the day/night to run on a real time schedule. Personally I wouldn't want to play at night while the game was in night mode the entire time.

Some places like dungeons are too dark even on the brightest setting so having a night mode would cause problems unless they address it properly.

There are items such as lantern , torch, etc... :wall:

Thats what I was going to say.

 

 

 

At night, perhaps every NPC would have a option when you talk to them "What are you doing out here without a torch? Ill sell you one..."

 

 

 

Would be a nice little addon, just another little thing to make the game more appealing.

[Yomyth105]

would be kind of kool.

[IeatWindex]

Id post this on the RSOF.

 

 

 

Wow, im going to be killed by the flame.

[Dire_Wolf]

Heres another drawing i made :D

 

 

 

[x1992x]

Heres another drawing i made :D

 

 

 

 

 

 

nice idea you got. i would like to see it ingame :D but i think it would be best if it where server desided(night in the server when its night in the country) and optional. then it would pwn and people could't complain at all :thumbup: =D>

 

 

 

ps. nice picture :lol:

[Knight_Zaros]

That be something, definitly make runescape a little more interesting day to day having to worry about bringing a light source if you want to see extra well.

[o_knames]

I like the idea in theory. The more realism the better.

 

 

 

Although, here's a problem you may not have considered: What if you're in the wilderness, say, during the daytime, and you log out. When you come back hours or days later, you won't know what time it is (this could be solved by a game clock on the main site). You're left with a choice, either go it dangerously into the night, or log out and wait until daylight.

 

 

 

I'd love to see a solution other than carrying a light source with you at all times. I would find that annoying.

Well i was thinking "Night", Not pitch Dark lol. :?

 

 

 

If it was Pitch Dark: all newbies in f2p will get lost rofl.

[TheHunted616]

Yeah, and certain rare monsters could appear at certain times of the day!

yoink

[highlanders]

Not bad, but night has to be blue-ish instead of black-ish because then we don't see anything. Sometimes it's already bad enough with brightness at max.

[sohkmj1]

Night time should not affect regular gameplay if it was to be implemented into the game.

 

Maybe make a runescape time?
