In the movies there is also a revelation of how bacteria in your blood makes it so you can shoot lightning.

Your point?

Frankly Tatooine is a terrible example as someone else mentioned night time in a desert is a terrible thing, and my sith wouldn't be caught out of his ship on that hell hole in the dark same with hoth. And whats the point of going to Nar Shadaa during the day anyways its not like you can see the sky from the ground level through the smog. That and the city doesn't really get moving till the early evening anyways.

these are the few things I have made note of in my mind to not break my immersion while I wait for this feature to be installed. I assume it will be at some point. Also the rough part is they will basically have to create a different day and night cycle on each of the planets.

Edit: punctuation and fact checking changes made. Sorry for the messy post I'm at work folks.

We can see the sky just fine on Nar Shaddaa and Coruscant.
SWTOR has potential, but too many features are missing

How many sentences is this? I don't see any punctuation or capitalization on proper nouns!

No World exploration or PvP possible
Loading screens
Broken combat system
Broken game client with low res textures and no antialising, having to run as administrator spying on all the running processes on your machine (who knows why)
Cannot fly over any planets not because they never flew in Starwars but because the planets are small, cheap and not "flyable" not 3D

Apologies if I have forgotten anything.
BioWare doesn't take your money. You.choose to give it to them. You also choose to post on these forums. If you don't like the.game, you should stop doing both things.

You do realize you're using a double negative, right?

I believe the OP makes a good point. It's not something I will quit the game over, but I can see people leaving because the planets seem sterile.

Hell, DDO even had weather and night/day. It just adds to the game play... but I'm not sure the storyline movie cuts would jive with it. It wouldn't be cool if the movie is taking place during the day... but when you cut out it's night.

I guess it's up to each player to decide if the little details are make or break issues.

I always found day/night cycles in MMOs kinda silly.
Vendors just standing at their usual spot at all hours of the night, business as usual.
In that regard I'd like more of a followthrough, at night they move their business into
their shops, or leave their services to some computer console, etc.
Otherwise it's just half-***ed having day/night cycles.
And since that would cause all kinds of problems gameplaywise,
I'm glad this game does NOT have day/night cycles.

I wouldn't put it in my top 500 nit-pick improvements, but yeah.
Agreed. Would love it. Hope it gets implemented. Can live without it without feeling "Sad".
