Event tweak

I just say that some players play only during in-game nights and some players play only during in-game days. Those who play only during in-game days would feel unfair still being unable to use lunar essence and collect lunar tears if these playing only during in-game nights gained ability to collect and spend lunar essence even though these both groups of people have the same schedule of playing but with shifted timezone.

I'm confused by this thread. What exactly do timezones have to do with the day/night cycle? It sounds like you happen to just check the game whenever it is in night, since as Werewolf said, the cycle is independent of real time. Your timezone doesn't make a difference at all, unless I'm missing something ^^

But it wouldn't be unfair because if they implemented my idea you could collect essence day or night as long as you weren't dreaming. All players can just hop on and collect in explore as we do without the stress of timing it or worrying about using too much energy to not be able to collect in the day.

@AlphaAlpha

I'll be it I did not know multiple day cycles occurred thats where my original commentary came from but the point still stands as long as you aren't dreaming one should still be able to collect essence at all times. If you have energy you can collect simple still have to put the time and effort but it makes things a bit more enjoyable for those who have jobs or stressful lives. We have to remember this is a game and people can be turned away from too many complexities. This is an event that is only a week long that already has: a capped amount you can collect per day, an energy bar to explore for essence, and to top it off a small window in which you can even explore for that essence. Remove that window grinders will still grind and get out of it what they put in. That is my perspective, but it increases accessibility to all if that makes sense again this is coming from a player who grinds heavily in game and checks in throughout the day.

Okay that makes more sense, I was confused by the whole timezone thing. You might want to change the phrasing of your original post then just to focus on collecting it at night, so others don't get confused.

If you choose to spend the period of that night cycle exploring the overworld instead of the dream world, the tradeoff is potentially missing the opportunity to explore the dreamlands until you cycle through morning, afternoon, AND evening again. I think that is why it was implemented that way. That said I'd support the addition. I don't think it does any harm ^^

@AlphaAlpha will do I appreciate you taking the time to explain your perspective and I appreciate the support:)

You claim it's fair for those who are unable to be active during in-game nights because they can collect essence all the time? But you can't do anything with the essence if you're not active during the night. You collect the essence but you don't convert it into lunar tears and thus you can't obtain any rewards from the event. You just keep the essence at the cap without being able to spend it. They have worse situation than those who are only active during in-game nights because the latter receive essence daily so they can convert the essence into tears without even being active during in-game days. With this suggestion, you make it even easier and more unfair for those active only during in-game nights because they're able to get more lunar rewards while those who are active only during in-game days still get no rewards.

@Dzanek

No, I'm saying we should be able to collect and it not matter if it's day or night while collecting then just go in the dream scape because honestly once you have the essence your wolf can sleep and do whatever that doesn't change so it's not unfair because unlike having to log in to collect said essence throughout the day you only need to log in and go to that dreamscape once to collect LT. It's not unfair and makes sense it takes from no one and opens the event up for those who will put the time in but also has to work. You still can collect LT but now you can collect the essence whenever and just need to catch that dreamscape at night a single time if that makes sense.

I support. As a student in university, I don't have a lot of time. When I do play Wolvden i play for a bit to collect essence, explore and other stuff like scouting and hunting and feeding. But one thing that always bugs me about the event is when I accidentally miss a day during the night-day cycle or missing night. It has me having to stay up further into the night because of that restriction.

There is still a lunar essence cap, that doesn't need to change. But I don't see how collecting lunar essence during both day and night ingame would interfere with that, hardcore players would have the advantage of collecting essence a lot easier but it at least at the same time has busy players be able to collect essence. I've realised during the event that I always have to be online and if I skip at least 2 hours irl by doing irl things, I end up getting far behind. Player RNG and luck regarding how much essence I get is also something that makes it hard to get the limited essence cap.

On night i had to stay up until 2am because I haven't gotten 100/100 lunar essence yet. This game interferes with my sleep because I'm too busy during the day to participate much as I wanted. 

So yes, lunar essence should be collectible during both day and night ingame to make it fair for all players. 

Support! Because of school and homework I almost never hit the LE cap, it would do wonders for me and other busy players to be able to collect LE whenever they have the time.

The in-game day/night cycles about every 45mins to and hour...just slightly adjust when you come online to hit a certain time? I work 12 hour nights and sleep 6-8 hours a day, and haven’t yet missed getting the full day’s tears. Making it so easy to gain LUNAR tears without waiting for your wolf to ‘sleep’ during the bi-hourly NIGHT cycles just makes it pointless; you’d just be getting them whenever you explore during the event. It’s event currency. It’s optional. If you don’t want to/can’t put in effort to acquire it, you shouldn’t get it. Not gathering event currency won’t cause your wolves to starve or your den to fall into chaos. It doesn’t need to be easier to earn.
