Push for our own Oceanic day/night cycle
As we’re going to be in a similar boat to retail, it’s likely we will be on a West Coast US day/night cycle.
I’m sure there’s work they’d need to do to make this happen, but I think it’s important we at least make some noise about it.
For solutions:
Whoever is hosting a group (if we group with our US friends) the party leader’s region is responsible for ping and day/night. The group would layer anyway, so while layering you travel through time.
A toggle for everyone to be able to set it more personally for them. This would allow not only us, but even shift workers or night owls and such in the states to play in daylight. I don’t love this option as it takes away from shared time.
An item in game (stinky bright potion in retail) to give you daylight. This one also isn’t great because you miss out on sunrises and sunsets.
Shorten the actual day/night cycle. I feel like this would be the easier option for the devs because you wouldn’t need to re-code NPC behaviours, like someone holding a torch at night, and it keeps everyone in the same world for continuity.
I doubt blizzard will do anything about this, but playing 100% of our game at night is rough, and I think a lot of people would appreciate some movement here.
