    I love the idea of the day & night cycles in KAG, however it seems many servers disable night cycle because they feel it's too dark and annoying. While the current night effects are great for zombie rules, it would be cool to introduce a new day & night cycle mode setting called "Twilight " or "Moonlight" or something of the sort. It would feature a full moon with enough moonlight to make multiplayer battles very playable. This would allow for beautiful sunrises and sunsets, and it would not make night more annoying than daytime because it would make the day/night cycle concept more cosmetic than anything... for the sake of beauty and colourful backgrounds :) What do you guys think?

    I don't know why, but I thought I already posted this and maybe it was removed?...

    But night is too damn dark. Can't see anything. Change the color to blue or add stars that add light or something, it's just ridiculous, especially on a massacred map where you can't see floating blocks.

    EDIT//UnnamedPlayer: It was removed because there were already another thread on the subject and because it didn't followed the guidelines. Please read the stickies before posting.

    I agree. It should be brighter out. I love the day/night cycle, but night is just to damn dark.

    So you guys are saying that you like the day/night cycle, but not night? That is a crucial part of the day/night cycle. Seriously? have you ever been outside during the night? It's pretty damn dark out there.

    I honestly like night the way it is, getting shot without seeing the arrows, and the only thing you can see are the bombs going off. It makes the game more challenging. Actually, I wish the day/night cycle was in vanilla CTF as well.

    Despite my name, I don't particularly like the night. It's kind of cool that you can be a bit stealthier, but in the end it just results in battles being more confusing, and stealth is ruined by people constantly hopping around slashing everything that so much as looks like a moving object.

    It's a bit of pain, honestly, especially for Archers, who rely on precision grappling to move around. In the dark, you can't really tell the difference between a solid block and a background tile, making it incredibly difficult to maneuver with any sort of accuracy, which usually leads to a quick death if you try to be at all aggressive.

    On a slightly unrelated note:
    If we're going to have features that encourage stealth, I think vision ought to be limited to line of sight. Devs won't ever implement something like that, and I know it, but it would be cool to see a mod that would do that.
