Mikeni Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 With the fan outrage BW recieved on not having day/night cycles on planets, do you think BW devs took the hint and incorporated a day/night cycle on Makeb? I'm hoping for one, even if it's just on the one planet, it would be pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hystorian Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 I actually don't care, has no influence on my gameplay. Guess a blizzard on Hoth would be cool though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Karsk Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Remember apart rom bug fixes they ignore most feedback so i dont think so,but it would be nice to be on a world that feels more alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elear Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 I hope not, it's not only dumb feature, but also would make all those whinners come to forums in force to change all other planets same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you like playing on fake non-immersive worlds that feel like movie set pieces with fake props. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I wouldn't like game, I wouldn't be here. And there is nothing immersive in light on-lights off. Oh, there is now night on Hoth. Air should freeze around you and make it impossible to leave base, but let's just turn off sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saiaku Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 I actually don't care, has no influence on my gameplay. Guess a blizzard on Hoth would be cool though This is such a good idea. But regarding weather and weather effects, it would help the world feel more alive by like.. 999999% percent. It's a shame that they don't put it in. The original hero engine, which has been developed further after the swtor team took a prototype full of bugs and poor performance - has got weather and dynamic lighting today. It should not be hard to implement it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Air should freeze around you and make it impossible to leave base, but let's just turn off sun. Er......... there's "nothing immersive" about time pasing and a planet orbiting it's star/stars? Don't tell me you think loading screens add to immersion too? That old chestnut was a brilliant invention to defend loading screens way back when! As for Hoth night? 30,000 years is long enough for global warming or cooling, the nights might be fine in this time period (at least no colder then Ilum "night". However I don't think they'll ever add a Day/Night cycle to SWTOR, unfortunately I think it's just one of a long list of things (that would improve the game) BIoware EA will never add to SWTOR.

I'm hoping for one, even if it's just on the one planet, it would be pretty cool. Why do you think Makeb will have day/night added out of nowhere? This is the kind of stuff that leads to QQ.

Etheric Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 A day/night cycle would have helped with the whole idea of immersion, something i don't believe the people behind this game ever gave a thought too. EA Developer 1. Whats immersion ? EA Developer 2. I think thats sompun to do with taking a bath or sumpun. I wonder if any of them ever spent anytime playing an MMORPG at least one that wasn't static and linear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping for one, even if it's just on the one planet, it would be pretty cool. There's been outrage about a lot of things - many that are more important and more actual issues than this. But regardless, this topic (not Makeb specifically) has already been discussed: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=530481 At the end of the matter - I don't think it will, I don't think it's necessary, and I don't care for it in the games I play.

RazielHex Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 (edited) Who said Makeb even has a rotation anyway? You could just be on the light side. Not all planets rotate, y'know. Hell, some, like Uranus, rotate along an entirely different axis! Edited September 28, 2012 by RazielHex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they're starting with a special offer, buy day get night free, for a ltd time only run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True and 2 of the most moving scenes( at least to me) where people staring off into the tat sunset. But lets be real here for a moment, this game along with most other single player games don't have day/night cycles, so for what this is it, what they have is just fine.

Gradivus Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 While this is a good idea in itsleft, I doubt they'd depart from the design of the previous planets so much. Right now, I really don't miss the day/night cycle. I they implement it on one planet, though, they'd have to rework the rest as well or else make them look bad and incomplete.

kirorx Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Most of the people that wanted these features and complained to no end about the ""static"" worlds are already gone and the playerbase that is left do not care about that stuff.

I guess you and all the players left here will keep giving BioWare a pass on mediocre content. Can't believe the players here love mediocre content. I would rather have players push for good suggestions to improve SWTOR. Edited September 28, 2012 by DuckKing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacen_Starsolo Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Bioware can't pull it off for any planets so far so you think Makeb will be different, OP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
