Day/Nigh cycle, dynamic weather

[Cort]

I think it would be great to have dynamic weather and day/night cycle. For example when you start a game its morning and after some time time of day is changing to noon,sunset and finally night. And vice versa you start on midnight to end game on noon. Same with weather, devs could add rain which can surpise you durning game causing problems with hearing steps etc

Go from morning to night within an hour?

Why not? it does not need to be from morning to night, could be half of a day-for eg nigh till noon with nice sunrise, it could be cool addition.

[Bob Dal†on]

do it like in Escape from Tarkov

[Blame]

Yeah I'd like that. Start of day and weather could be random, and as time progresses so does time in game, and weather could clear out or get worse. Adds some flavor to the game.

[Lord Mordack]

Weather, yeah why not?
But the time of the day from morning to evening during one hour? Imagine the speed the sun would travel across the sky...
Kind of immersion breaking.

[sethlynn]

its a good idea but better be well optimized cuz we used to have server desynces and fps drops when the visuals were good in the first year before release

I don't like day/night cycle. Changing weather however would be sweet. Some rainstorms would be amazing.

Rain and dynamic weather would crush performance. How abour we wait for a miracle performance improvement to the cryengine, before we ask to ruin it.

[BushWacked]

That's a lot of commitement needed to create a feature which to say the least is not needed

[Rigel]

You have to keep the weather realistic. the game last 1 hour max

clowdy/ rain ok
sunshine/beginning of the night ok
clear /foggy ok
night/sunset ok

but day/night. makes no sense

Then yeah, changing time and weather could be great.

Better to add only weather.
Day cycle works only in open world games. If Crytek can add a huge map like in GTA5 with unlimited time, where you can hunt on people\monsters as long as you wish with crafting system, quests, exploring and etc, then day/nigh cycle will be awesome. Right now it's useless.

I want only night maps, which brings the atmosphere of Hunt: Showdown alive, especially with the great lighting system. It also brings way more stealth strategic gameplay to the table.

You could only play on only night maps in the beginning in early access, but they later changed it with random contracts. Once in a while you have a only night map as a extra contract but its very, very rarely. Haven't seen it for a long while.

I just hate the idea that i can't choose which time of day i want to play, because i HATE daytimes in this game.

Out of 20 matches i play, only once is on a night map.

[crackshot]

i would like dynamic weather, not time of day passing. (day/night are great) but fog. add dynamic weather so its like in comes rain/storm or wind etc. perhaps rain and even wind gusts inside that.
imagine it bucketing down, middle of night. wind blowing hard.
