ArenaNet:Guild Wars 2 suggestions/Year long season, night and day cycle

(Discussion)

 * A night and day cycle could be used to create a more realistic in game ecosystem wiht nocturnal animals.
 * could create more options for instances such as vampire attacks on towns or unruley ghosts in a grave yard.
 * being harder to see at night could provide more options for how to coplete a quest, such as sneaking in under the cover of night to invade a fortress or seiging it during the day.
 * A more realistic yearly Cycle of seasons
 * some creatures could hybernate (eg: bear hunting is suddenly alot easier during the winter)
 * environmental factors during combat (eg. snow could cause frostbite in light armor, while in the hot summer sun, dehidration in heavy armor.)
 * and the list goes on


 * Why this is a good idea
 * if you ever watched "Time Line"... 'Night arrows' would rock for seiging a fortress at night.
 * easier to setup a preprogrammed cycle of seasons than to reprogram the game every holiday.


 * Why it may not work out
 * labor intensive to get it set up
 * too much stuff in the game?
