Did you ever want to know which AAS and INS layers are night so you don't set the wrong one and piss off your server pop? Well, me neither.
Sure have layout indicator. Most night maps are voted for though. The things to not like about night maps, like visibility, confusion or actual screen darkness, most 1 word problems have simple 1 sentence solutions. Friendly stay in view of each other, don't wander off then come back cause we might shoot somebody walking towards us(visibility and confusion gone right there). Some things aren't even solutions, its just facts, if the enemy shoots it lights up with muzzle flash. Night maps are a great time to learn new methods to compensate for visibility. Hopefully indicator leads to more night map play.
But now this is where we separate the challenged folks, this is part of what they actually say and the way they think/feel. "Yeah the enemy shot, I saw muzzle flash but I don't know where he went, if he stayed there or moved.. The muzzle flash didn't stay long enough for me to aim.. I need to Call of Duty style see the target. I'm not wasting my ammo in my kit just lighting up the area around that, I need to save my ammo because I will use it all before I die or not be able to find another kit with ammo." (Nobody uses all their ammo before dying and there is plenty of kits off dead guy.. You light it up like a Michael Bay movie)
Night/Day votes means get rid of the kids who play open desert maps like its easy difficulty compared to make room for the forest/jungle night map "Veteran" difficultly players. It used to be like all desert maps we used to play. Its already day maps 90% or more of the time. Only complaints we see are those people staying demanding admins change the map in all chat.
My only concern is this would cater to the small segment of complainers who don't like night maps. They have no self-awareness in many senses, for example they demand admins change night maps in all chat, to the point of annoying the admin and players annoyed by these anti-night map types of complainers mere existence. They troll/grief, get their way 90% of maps played, other behaviors they get banned for, but somehow think they could be entitled to demand or ask for night map change. That fact is annoying, they are annoying. Even though night gets played at a fair rate to them. They dish out enough ****.
Lets not confuse entire server population with a few complainers in all chat. They are not the majority of people who can sit through it and adapt to night conditions. The people who complain are those already intellectually struggling in the first place, they don't realize night maps are more fun cause of the darkness, cause of the challenge, which is why we do night maps at the rate we do.
Why they complain rather than play... Its a whole subconscious psychological complex of character, the challenge is uncomfortable for them, things need to cater to them, entitlement, they try to cultivate an image of their opinion about night maps being majority by being loud/obnoxious/spamming. Damaged ego from lack of skill in face of the challenge. Refusal to participate but holding a server slot from somebody else.
They don't care they do this to others either even if they realize the impact. Its all about them, read them and lets not cater to them further. They are being toxic annoyance to admins in all chat about something the rest of the server voted for cause its interesting.
Any effort to change the way they play, including normal daytime teamwork of assets somehow without any merit to the statement "takes the fun away". Requires actual brain power beyond picking kit/spawning/looking around like all other FPS game.
We play through their same maps they vote for everyday, the only map names they know, they can sit through one of ours or make room. Its these same people who dish out trolling, hate, annoyance to other players but can't take anything back against getting their way. This goes for maps they play. So un-aware of themselves being this way to others, they annoy the admins in all chat.
Would love an indicator to know if a map is eligible for a Night/Day vote.
