It is cool. It makes the game more attractive. With a pitch like that there can be only one way to vote.
We're at -3 right now. o_O Cities has day/night mode, although to be honest the most attractive thing from this idea is if the game could be configured to show my actual time zone and not whatever time zone they picked for my server - websites have been able to display user time since the 2000's I'm not sure why inno such has a hard stone to make me do extra math.

If you ever go to a major city (NYC, LA, Tokyo, Paris, ext), its definitely more beautiful at night.

It is childish. If you play on your home server you know the timezone. If you don't, figure it out. How hard is it to remember once you know the difference.

This is the reason why I turn off the animations in the game. Even though it might be cool to look at, it will tax browser resources that you might have to restart it a few times to reset the numbers.

But, worry not, I did not dislike it. Might be swell for those with browsers that won't swell up the memory usage or those with powerful mobile devices that won't have the app crashing.

Well I actually do not like it. Being Australian if you force day night I will always play at night. If you have it optional no problem I will just turn it off. I would think you will struggle with Incidences if you are in night mode too.

Inno don't use local time because it is prone for abuse.
The only case where you get a benefit, even without tryint to abuse it, is for daily challange. But that ne you can change to whatever hour is better for your playing style.

The places where time has any relevance are:
  • GE, GbG, QI start (guild activity that should start for all at the same time). For GE and GbG the guild vs guild part would be a mess if you can change the start.
  • Daily challange - player can actually change this for themselves
  • Event start - for some reason it is the same for almost all servers (beta and German are the exceptions)
  • Rival challange start - linked to GE start escept beta
  • DS switch and GbG reset (midnight)
Note: QI auto level up is not actually linked to a specific time but just to time expired since the guild initiated the incursion!

As long as this night/day feature is linked to animation (like snow during winter event), I can just vote this down.
If it is compulsary, the proposer should be expelled from the player base and banned from the game forever.

I never liked the snow animation hence why I always turned it off (if possible) in the animation settings. I much rather have the snow drawn in (the white ground for example) without the moving parts associated with it.

"Might" be good in a small city, but in larger cities, it's a pain to move around.

Inno does not seem to agree with you.

With the 4th Championship, we are introducing the automatic difficulty change. It means that the currently active difficulty will change to the next automatically every day at midnight server time, regardless of whether the previous difficulty Boss was defeated.
