I never saw this in beta,does anybody know for sure if this is in the game,or has been turned off?

I've never seen anything on day/night cycles, so I don't think it exists in TERA... Would be interesting to implement, though. I think certain zones are just "darker" than others, but not like a true day/night cycle.

Yeaaaa I totally am NOT interested in this sort of thing.. I always find it to be pretentious and annoying in other mmo's.. it rarely has an actual impact in game other than to annoy me. Sorry didn't mean to come off all negative on ya op. I just really hate night time cycles.. especially in minecraft lawl

There are no cycles, but there are areas in which it is night time, and areas in which it is day time. A long time ago I read that they simply wanted the sky(however it may look) to compliment the zone.

While exploring in the CBT, some players and I ended up in a volcanic area where the entire sky was filled with smoke and ash. I'd personally take scenery like that over a day night cycle anyday. In another zone we swam over to an island, climed up some vines and found ourselves in this tribal/jungle area where it started raining.

On a side note, since the world of tera is simply a dream built around two titans, that there is no planetary solar system involved, so it fits.

I'd love this concept for PVP servers. Adds a whole new element personally. Anyone remember EQ? Not the best example, but it was dark and you had to pay attention :o)

I like the idea of day and night cycles how Aion did it. Basically an in-game day was 2 hours of real life time. So you weren't stuck at 2am being forced to log out of the game because until 8am or so the Devs decided it would be cool to make it pitch black (this was the game that shall not be named).

Although given how some of the zones are designed here, Poporia being one of them, I'm not sure it would work.

I remember in DAOC when it was night, it was DARK. Unlike night in modern MMOs where it's magically bright.

Search button your friend.....


On a side note some areas its night some dusk and some morning.... Same for the weather. The dev said the reason behind this was not to take away from these areas.

Before complaining there no cycle wait till you see these areas and you will understand why the devs said what they said and went the route they did. Also the lore kinda enplanes the whole sun isnt really a sun its a magical eye or something like that, hey at least the devs tried to have the lore explain why things are like they are unlike some MMOs it just is lol

I find it absolutely hilarious that people would rather ruin the atmosphere of zones, making them blander to use a feature for no other reason, than to think that an MMO "requires it".

Instead of day/night cycles why not weather cycles?
