BTW -- it does.

The environments don't go totally pitch-black, but the outdoor, ambient light changes from about 11pm to 5am every day. It even changes in battlegrounds.

Don't forget that we were given Kaon post release. I would much rather have "less bugs" in ops then a rush of them personally.





In the works
Nice to add
Really?
Useless
I'd still like to point out that WoW does NOT have day/night cycles. I don't know why people are saying that it does.

That'll give you a little background on (1) how big corps layoff employees and (2) why Blizzard might have felt the need to pair down the size of its support staff.

Regardless, there is nothing here that can really be tied to anything having to do with SWTOR, which was your original point.

Costumers indeed!
Yes its all a big giant coincidence, keep drinking that kool-aid.

Those 600 people lost their jobs because blizzards bottom line isn't looking so good anymore, because they are bleeding subscriptions from their cash cow.

ToR is sucking them dry, and they can feel it all the way to the corporate big wigs.

Look for more bad news coming form bilzzard in the near future.

Actually, there were open world raid bosses added in less time (in march, along with dire maul, for example). They had a holiday event and added mauradon about a month after launch.

But please, let's not try to sugarcoat WoW's endgame content availability during "vanilla".
likewise, lets not pretend that swtor is competing against vanilla wow.

How's that?
Fine than play it if u like.
I got bored of wow,and a wow like game with more content cant make me satisfied thats all.

P.S.: and swtor does not have more content, 3 versions of the same raid just with more dmg makes no differents it gets boring in 3 runs.

Because it does? Because it launched with day/night cycles.

Because ... It does?

Seriously, log into the game and run WSG right now. It's half past noon in New York. See how brightly lit everything is? Then go back at 2am. Notice the difference? That happens everywhere in the game, from Westfall across the ocean to the Barrens.

Granted, it's not terribly severe and it doesn't correlate to the day/night cycles of server time, but it is in the game & it does happen.

yes, it does; it's a 24 hour cycle that is in sync with the server time, so you may not be noticing it if you always play at the same time.

It's certainly not EQ's 72 minute cycle, and it doesn't have anything like the darkness that EQ originally had.
