If they added day/night cycles, I'd think that was cool and interesting for about a minute and then I'd go back to playing the game. It's like these people who think it's a crime that there's no "swimming" in the game or you can't ride your speeder for endless miles in empty sand on Tatooine. Those are the kind of things you try once and think it's neat and then move on. If anyone thinks BW should invest money in creating swimming so they can virtually "swim" on Ord Mantell for an hour a day, then they have way too much free time on their hands, lol. Taris DOES have a Day/Night cycle, it's actually the only planet in SWTOR that does............. it just has a factional one not a time based one. It also shows the power of Day/Night cycles in MMORPGs because Taris does feel so different from Empire to Republic.
Real Star Wars space combat please, not Star Wars Fox! Maybe some PvP and flight too? Goretzu's Law: As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving "Entitled" approaches 1

Not being snarky, I just really wonder, if the devs ever adressed this, and what they said. It can't be hard, even lotro has day and night lol Hard or not, they have no intention of doing it.... It was an artistic decision, simple as.

Wow had it like...hmm...6/7years ago?...plus a way better engine...sometimes I wonder where all those millions went to,would love to see a spread sheet of the costs,because technically this game lacks ALOT compared to other titles almost a decade older,shouldn't technology and it's use be progressive specially with the highest investment ever? If I had to guess I wouldn't ever bet on storage as the mos expensive development .. Something is fishy about all this

Their engine sucks (the incomplete garbage version they licensed) and they didnt preplan for it so dont hold your breath ... day/night will probably never happen even on new planets. Yes, day/night cycles are easy now. At least basic simple ones are. I remember it being a cool "new" eye candy being added to Ocarina of Time so its been around for over a decade.

Yeah Everquest 1 had a proper 3D Day/Night cycle and weather by 16th of March, 1999, when it was released. Druids could even make a thuderstorm and stop one too. It is very old tech, as old as the 3D MMORPG in fact.

Everyone has their own criteria I guess. Face it, people, day/night would have distracted from the real point of this game... Voice-overs. Lots and lots of voice-overs.

The fake, plasticy look of this game is one of the main things that drives me crazy. Has since beta. You can call it fluff but it's still a major problem with this game. MMOs are supposed to feel like living worlds when you log in. TOR isn't even close in that regard. I don't buy the "stuck in time" theory either. That's just making excuses for BW and their supreme arrogance.

You just aren't listening. Face it, TOR planets look about as realistic as a Super Mario board. This has been a sticking point for many players since beta. Ignoring people's opinions does not make them invalid.

Quote: Originally Posted by DuckKing People want holidays in this game like "Life Day" but if I can't have day/night cycles then there shouldn't be holidays either since "time is set in stone." You guys choose to live in fake worlds but want life day... seriously? Where is the logic. Holidays can't exist in this game if everyday is the same day and time is set in stone. I guess once we leave a planet we should never be able to return either since that future time couldn't possibly exist since time on each planet is frozen.
