Day/Night Indicator

[ohioalumni]

I must be missing something simple in the UI. How do you know if it's day or night?

The time card has vanished but it was only telling you the bonuses from the night and day. (and it made me crazy too cause I could not figure out why it was so difficult to indicate Day/Night.

To know if it is Night or Day, you have to pay attention to the general lighting of the board:
Enlightened = Day
Darker = Night

Agreed. I made a thread about it I was so annoyed. I hope they seriously consider giving us a little sun/moon icon somewhere on the ui or something.

If the board is dark it is Night, if not it is Day. Unless a person has some sort of visual impairment then Day and Night should be obvious.

In all fairness, I would have absolutely no objection to a small Day/Night indicator on the board. A friend of mine once mistook the nighttime lighting of the board on one space for Fireland burning. Wouldn't hurt anything to add it.

Wow, it's clearly not obvious for everyone. Sometimes it isn't obvious for me. Why the hell is that so hard to accept? Why do people act like any usability suggestion is somehow an attack on them personally? Using the Day/Night card, that is already present in the play space as a Day/Night indicator, you know, like you would at home, wouldn't even take up anymore play space than it already does.

I don't like the time card. It is a pointless and space wasting addition to the game for me as I can already tell if it is Night or Day just by looking at the screen. However, as I wrote above, if someone has some sort of visual impairment then they should have an indicator but it should only be an option for those who need it, and this indicator should be small so as to free up more screen space for those extra cards that will eventually most likely have to appear on screen when future expansions are added to the game.

Doesn't the Lightbearers ending have a visual indicator of day/night in the corner anyhow?

if bloodmoon expansion is active-there is a day/night card-but a) it is not always present-for no reason that i can tell it disappears then reappears and b) always stays day up-so that currently it is useless as it is. So, at least currently-there is already a card that is supposed to be in the corner(and sometimes is)-and, yeah, if they are not gonna use it, free up the space-but since it is there-they should use it-and just have which ever side up that it is.
