What happened?
1PP Official servers are no longer dark, It goes against the entire hardcore premise the game originally offered, All the light sources and NVG's are useless now, The tense feeling of walking around at night with a glowstick or improvised light source not knowing if you are being followed is gone, A large portion of immersive and atmospheric/potential emergent gameplay has been stripped away in favour of metrics and player retention numbers (which even if players leave they will re-join in 40 minutes when night ends and it cleaned up the queue for new players to join it was a healthy cycle and didn't negatively affect gameplay), People are voicing their opinion we didn't want nor ask for this change, The 3PP Official servers were already bright there was no need to make the 1PP servers also bright...
You already made nights shorter in 2023 from 60 minutes to 40 and now you just straight up remove the night essentially...
Please make 1PP official dark again and label them as "hardcore" or "Dark nights" etc... A LARGE portion of the veteran community has outright quit playing because of this and wishes for this revert to be implemented.
This is a huge issue for veteran OCE players as there is no community servers that offer the original vanilla experience EVERY SINGLE ONE of them is modded and has adjusted night time acceleration, There is no 100% vanilla OCE community servers.
I've tried voicing my opinion on reddit but that place is a cesspool of degenerate trolls who just want to do nothing but argue with eachother and the devs don't listen to people on reddit i assume, I'm hoping by submitting an official issue my voice and that of many others may finally be heard and action may finally happen.
I apologize if this comes across as rude or aggressive i'm not meaning for it to be like that i am just extremely passionate about this game as there is nothing else that can currently offer this unique experience, Please just make the 1PP official nights dark again or add some dark night 1PP official servers into the browser, People WILL join them.
Reproduction steps
Log in, See everything at night, Even with a new moon and overcast weather, Get upset and log out.
Exact build version (optional)
Where did it happen?
Is it modded?
Expected result
For the developers to listen to the players and revert the nights on Official 1PP servers back to the default "Dark nights" or add some new dark nights 1PP official servers and leave the others as they are.
Whether they be labelled as "hardcore" or "Dark nights" or not labelled at all like it used to be, Just please
