    Day, Night and Seasons

    So I am very intrigued by the day/night transitions, as well as the seasonal changes. I hope they do not use a 24 hour day system. I typically play at night, and would get tired of seeing the same time of say. I am hoping that the games uses an 8 hour day, or something similar. Also, I would like to see a seasonal change perhaps every month. I am very interested to see how it will be handled.

    I doubt they would use a 24-hour system on every server. It would get very annoying especially if there are certain events that only happen during a certain time frame (i.e. a hypothetical raid that only happens in the morning).

    An 8 hour day (I assume you mean a 24 hr day) would not change the problem you bring up as 8 divides into 24 evenly. Anyone logging in at the same time IRT will see the same in game time. I think a 5 hour or 10 hour day would be more appropriate.

    They should just do what GTA V does with their day/night transitions. They do it probably the best around. If that's how The Division is, I think it'll be fine. I'm excited to see the seasons play out too.

    Hey!, quick question, did they confirm seasons? thought they only confirmed day/night cycles. and weather changes, but not seasons.

    I'd rather see a 48 hour day/night shifting..

    But pls not a 5 hour shifting, I dont want to se the sun go up down 2-3 times while I'm gaming =/

    The timing is arbitrary, I just don't think it should divide evenly into 24, or be a multiple thereof. That way you can log into the game at the same time every day and be confronted with a different in game time.

    You're going to play the game for 10 hours straight? with 5 hour cycles most people wont see several sunrises/sets

    I think the assumption there is that a five our cycle is from sunrise to sunrise, not sunrise to sunset.
