erny0507 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Is annoying to have to check a 3rd party website to know when and what cycle is next. Maybe a text in the node information would be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myscho Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 There is text but only say Day ro Night, so you dont know if night just started or 5 min till end, better timer NEEDED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)crashtestguy Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Yes please!!!! maybe indicate on earth map via navigation. I also use 3rd party but it will be so much cooler in game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)Aerik93 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Honestly I’d just rather have the option to choose whether to lock the Plains of Eidolon at a certain time of day, play it from a specific time, or to play it in ‘now’ time. Most times I’m in the mood for grinding the hell out of Quills standing - which isn’t too often due to the following reason - it’s the middle of the day in Cetus. Worse? Day-Night cycle totalises to 150 minutes - two and a half hours. I read the patch notes when PoE came out for PS4, and it said that day in Cetus lasts 100 minutes and night lasts 50. That’s just under two hours for day, and just under one for night. That also means that I can’t say, ‘oh 8 o’clock right now will be midday in Cetus, let’s come back at 9’, because the Day-Night cycle isn’t properly set to real life times. Make day last 120 minutes and night last 60, so we can at least consider the time in three hour intervals rather than intervals of 150 minutes that are irregular regarding real life time. Or just let us select the time to enter the Plains on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(XBOX)weedyodaa Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 There's an option where you go to your navigator and you can see the current day of time on your orbiter.. Not really a need for a clock, honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a good reason for day and night being 150 minutes. Imagine having a steady job, and having responsibilities, so you can only game certain times. Now imagine if that time always was day.

Imagine having a steady job, and having responsibilities, so you can only game certain times. Now imagine if that time always was day. Forgive me if I misunderstood, but from what I read I assume that you believe that I suggested the PoE time be exact to IRL. What I had meant was to make each full cycle in the Plains be three hours in real life. 3 goes into 24, 8 times. So one day would be eight PoE cycles. Give a player 12 hours to play per day (barring chores and personal care), and they could play four cycles of the Plains. The way it is now, two Plains days are 300 minutes which is 5 hours. Thus, each day carries 9.6 PoE cycles. That means the final 0.4 (which is one hour in its own) goes into the next day and screws up an otherwise solid, consistent cycle, setting that day’s cycle time forward, every singular day. A full Cetus cycle should be three (3) hours long, not two and a half (2.5). Making it three hours will make it consistent and easily able to be tracked per day.

Actually a clock would be nice if you are planning to hunt a Theralyst or more than one, because at least you would know if you have enough time to do it or if you should come back later.

Think you are missunderstanding. The point is to not have a length that divides 24 evenly. That way people who only can play at specific times can experience day and night.

RAZORLIGHT Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 we need an optional clock in the UI, on the orbiter and when on earth/plains Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)Backdoorman71 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 (edited) Cetus should be as it is. Like In actual Astronomy, we cannot change Saturn day cycle or any other planet, just because Earth have a '24 hours' clock hour day cycle. But our ship should have an 'Ordis' upgrade with better technology. Adapt yourself, Tenno. Edited March 5, 2018 by (PS4)Backdoorman71 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During the week I maybe have 1-2 chances per day for a night cycle and often enough it's spoiled by bugs, bad hosts or a hotfix. While I can guarantee 2x3 runs with weak pickups by now, I cannot fight bugs and hotfixes. All in all, it's not that a pleasing experience to farm Arcanes and often enough it's spoiled by mishaps.

Oreades Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Yeah I really don't get what the opposition to an actual timer that conveys information in a concise way (with numbers) is coming from. It feels a lot more like someone on the UI team being stubborn because they refuse to compromise their artistic integrity. Unfortunately realistically all it does is make things frustrating for the players. To the point that if you want detailed information that should be readily available IN GAME you essentially need to go to a third party tracker site to tell you something as simple as what time it is. Then you get to the imaginary realistic front.... I find it very hard to suspend my disbelief sufficiently to buy the idea that my space fairing mercenary, who can traverse the solarsystem with ease.... is somehow incapable of acquiring something as simple and rudimentary as a clock.

(PSN)Aerik93 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 (edited) Not to mention though, if it takes 2.5 hours for a full cycle to occur in the Plains, DE will need to do a whole lot of math to figure out how many minutes go per second, or vice versa. In the older GTA games, day-night ticked by one minute per one second, meaning one full in-game day would be 24 minutes. In newer titles such as Watch Dogs and GTAV, the time ticks one minute every few seconds, roughly one minute tick per two or three seconds with some variation, so that doubles or triples the duration of day-night - full cycle can be 48 minutes or 72 minutes. I haven’t played either game in a long time but that’s how I remember it. Plains however? They take 2.5 hours real time per cycle. Assuming Earth in Warframe still follows the same time cycle (24 hours, unchanged by Grineer involvement or the centuries/millennia ahead of us)... idk man, I had it for a bit but it’s 10:15 at night right now and I’m about to pass out. Someone figure this out for me while I sleep please. Edited March 5, 2018 by (PS4)Aerik93 ...‘so that doubles *or* triples’... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arimanari Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Quote you essentially need to go to a third party tracker site to tell you something as simple as what time it is. I follow 3 of those 3rd-party trackers and all 3 show different time. Sometimes the difference is as big as 10 minutes. For a 50-minute night cycle, this is a lot of inconsistency. But then again, DE is not famous for explaining or providing the simplest but most useful and impossible to get information, unless we have the wiki and google tabs always opened. Almost MR25 and that's how it always is for me. Warframe has always and unfortunately always will rely on 3rd parties to do the dirty work.

-DelFuN- Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 (edited) Hey, i have something here. It is 3rd party and require using rainmeter, but you just can run a game in window mode and put it on top of warframe as a part of your HUD. It requires just around 7-10Mb of RAM. As far as I tested it by myself it spawn eidolon right after night start and destroy lures as night is done :) A bit detailed skin coming soon with dawn, sunrise, morning, dusk, sunset options for day to be used by fishers xD Edited April 24, 2018 by -DelFuN- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
