A new item in World of Warcraft will help those who have only experienced the night in WoW so far. Soon you will be able to determine the time of day!
World of Warcraft has had a day/night cycle for ages. This is identical to server time, which in most cases corresponds to local time. So when it’s 10 PM at our place, it’s also 10 PM in WoW and the sun has set. This creates darkness, moon and stars in the sky, and a rather gloomy atmosphere in most areas. However, not all players enjoy this.
What is the problem? Those who can only play in the evening, perhaps because they have to work during the day, experience all areas of World of Warcraft in darkness. While this might be atmospheric for some, players have been complaining for years that they would also like to experience the daytime version of Azeroth, even if they can only play in the evening or at night.
A new item provides permanent midday: With Patch 8.2 Rise of Azshara, there are two new items that allow you to manipulate the time of day. In the Caverns of Time, there is a new vendor (Otela) who sells two items for Time-Warped Badges:
- Sun-warmed Sand (10 badges)
- Jug of Sun-warmed Sand (1,000 badges)
What do the items do? Both items grant the character a buff that allows them to experience the game world as if it were midday for 2 hours. The Sun-warmed Sand is single-use (but you can buy multiple units), while the jug is a toy and can be used infinitely, though it has a cooldown of 24 hours.
Darkest night already available: In response to player criticism that the nights are not dark enough, Blizzard had already introduced another effect into the game. Characters can purchase the item “Inky Black Potion” at the Darkmoon Faire to experience a dark night for 2 hours.
Players thus gain more freedom in how they want to experience World of Warcraft – completely independent of when they actually have time to play. And role players will definitely appreciate it.
What do you think about these new items? Exactly what’s needed for everyone who can only play at night? Or should the representation of the game world not be able to be influenced like this?
