Reposting here from GD as well
We have been playing in eternal darkness for years now. Its even worse now that nights have been made darker. You guys on the ANZ team have ignored us for years and the guys in Irvine have never addressed the issue.
It is depressing to log in and only ever see the game in darkness. Especially when we know just how gorgeous the zones look in daylight. Something we never get to see.
There is a thread that has been ongoing since 2016 that has been ignored
https://us.battle.net/forums/en/wow/topic/20748746160?page=24#post-471
Can you guys please talk to use about this? Please tell us that you are doing something? All we want is just a potion to make night into day like you gave to the people who wanted darker nights.
More than anything we just want you to talk to us. You have consistently ignored us and it seems like you dont care that all of the oceanic players suffer with this problem but because it doesnt effect NA players you wont ever do anything. Thats how it feels.
It is frustrating beyond belief to see Blizzard respond to people in threads like "Your fav zone" or "What you like to eat" yet be constantly ignored about something like this.
The dark nights look great but it is eternally night time for an entire region of the planet and that sucks! The zones look amazing in daylight but we have to get up at 2am to see that. That is rubbish.
Especially since you made a potion for all the people who complained about nights not being dark enough. Then you made the real night in game darker anyway but you have still ignored the rest of us.
Wheres our Golden Daylight potion? Why cant we get something as simple and easy to make as that? Why do we have to suffer with constant night time just because we are in the US?
Why do you always ignore us? Why do you choose to never speak to us about this issue?
For the people that care tweet @Blizzard_ANZ and @BlizzardCS #fixazerothsday
Make them hear us! Force them to actually address this problem and speak to us about it for once. The last time anyone at Blizz spoke to us was 2016 and that was just the usual "we are listening" line they use to placate people.
Ornyx, Ythisens, Watcher... literally anyone at Blizzard; you know this is an issue and you know it can easily be fixed. Why dont you?
Shouldn't need a potion. They should simply decouple us from the US realm times.
It shouldn't be a potion. They are probably concerned that it would ruin our immersion or something if we swapped from day to night whenever entering a new shard. Maybe we don't realise how often we change shards and it would be a major contrast. Yet that would still be preferable over the current state.
Changing shards shouldn't be a problem because we should only end up on other Oceanic shards. Unless you're using group finder for stuff, in which case realistically it would do people a favour. You'd be able to see very clearly when you'd moved as someone from a US realm on to an Oceanic shard ("why am I lagging?!") or vice versa to know when you are stuck on a US realm.

But the Inky Black Potion is ok?
And our immersion? Because playing in darkness during daylight hours is so immersive right?
No its purely because Blizzard made a change to Oceanic server groupings with little thought of the effects it would have long term and have completely ignored us. The immersion excuse is exactly that. An excuse! It is a throw away line they used in 2016 so they could pretend they were listening when in fact they dont give a !@#$ about us because we arent in NA.
The complete silence towards us and their track history of very rarely ever communicating with us about issues in the Oceanic GD is proof of that.

My god! The arrogance is astounding.
Just turn up the brightness... ffs! Is that really the best you can do Blizzard? Why dont you just tell your CS to tweet back saying "shut up we dont care".
It would be less insulting at this point.
Tweeted !! Thanks for starting this campaign.

Draw your own conclusions.
All they have to do is make a potion like the Inky Black Potion.
That is literally it. No its not a perfect fix but !@#$%^- it would at least let us play in daylight in game instead of the perpetual darkness we have to suffer with.
And NO! Turning your screens brightness/ gamma up is not a solution.
If Blizzard can give a potion to people who wanted to darker nights they can sure as hell give us a potion that fixes an actual gameplay problem and not just a cosmetic gripe!

Dont worry guys, the only reason we got a response was because CS was confused and thought we were talking about a different issue.

So never fear, Blizzard still are ignoring us.

Disappointed but hardly surprised.
"Do you feel like a valued customer?"
Is there an option lower than 0 for this now?

You guys need to speak with your wallets.
Good to see the same old Blizzard eh? Speaking with our wallets wont help, they'd write off all of Oceania as a loss and not even notice.
Sad Australian here.
You know, today I was up at 3am, I logged into WoW to do some dailies since I was just about to unlock Mag'har orcs and all. I arrived in Tiragarde Sound during the daytime.
It. Was. Glorious.
I'd never seen WoW like this in a looooong time. It was stunning and I loved it. But am I going to get up at 3am just to see it again?
Hell naw.
Finding a solution to this issue would go a long way towards the Oceanic playerbase enjoying the game. It's a small thing, but it will make a big impact.

I am back to bump this after a month long ban, which I believe was entirely unfair as there was nothing in my comment that was harrassment or abusive, just Blizzard trying to silence me just as this movement was gaining traction.
However this will be the last time I post as I am letting my sub lapse. BfA has been a very real let down for me. The recycling of WQs, boring world design and the failure of Island Expeditions and the tediousness time gating of warfronts is just the tip of the iceberg.
I got to my first raid night of the expansion and I realised I didnt want to raid anymore. After 5 years of raiding and 2 of those as Raid Leader and I had zero drive to log in and do anything in this game. And that makes me sad. I love WoW... loved WoW. I have made so many great friends and it makes me sad that the idea of logging in has become a chore to fill some arbitrary weekly requirement set by Blizz. Its even worse because I fulfilled a dream this year of going to Blizz HQ and it was amazing and that very same year I feel like Blizz has fallen from the lofty heights they once reigned from.
One of the biggest reasons though is Blizzards disregard for my country and the paying customers in it. Jacking up the price of online items to obscene levels, absolutely no presence from any blues on the Oceanic Forums. And when I finally did get a tweet response about the day night cycle, the response was in regard to a completely unrelated bug effecting Americans.
I wont link or copy what I wrote that got me a month long ban for obvious reasons but if I could I guarantee that all of you would agreee that mod who banned me was being petty and looking for a reason to silence me because there was NOTHING in the post that could in anyway shape or form be misconstrued as harassment or abusive language.
Its also Blizzards behaviour outside of the game that has led me to quit; jacking up the price of the BlizzCon ticket and then offering a cloak as the in-game item... after we have received pets and mounts before! I never bought the ticket for the items but damn that just smacks of laziness.
Blizzard, fix the day night cycle, make a potion that changes night to day, do something, ANYTHING to show that there is something of the old Blizzard still there because all you have become is another money hungry corporation and you dont even try to hide that fact anymore.

This thread has reached its cap after years of discussion and only one response from a Blue who said they would be watching this issue but have done nothing to address it.
Now its at its cap and no one can add anymore to the discussion.
Cant speak for any of that, suffice it to say that the so called Oceanic CM hasnt said a single word to us.
Ive put it in the Q and A.
FWIW.

So have I... for years... and they ignore it because it doesnt pertain to their precious M+ rubbish or their beloved NA players. No one outside of M+ players or NA players matter to Blizzard.
10/11/2018 06:30 AMPosted by WoomyDidn't we get OCE servers pre-WoD? This is embarrassing.
We did, then in Legion Blizzard grouped us with their precious NA's without a care or thought of the ramifications to OCE players. Then they made nights the darkest they have ever been, again with no thought of OCE players and then proceeded to ignore the threads about it for years and now here we are.
