This is a very cruel April’s 1st joke! Lol This would be so awesome though. I am so bummed about this. I messaged all my hoodies and the then had to retract it. I don't mind jokes but this wasn't funny. Sorry, Hay Day.

I don't mind jokes but this wasn't funny. Sorry, Hay Day. I agree with you, xkitty . It's not the best idea at the part of SC to "play" with the desires of the players relating to the Night Mode. Sorry, but I can't laugh about this either. That joke is not funny anymore.

I agree, an April fools about something much wanted and talked about by fans is cruel
A better April fools would have been if they'd announced something ridiculous no one had ever considered
Like a visiting Kraken for the sea/beach in town
Or potential Alien abductions
Etc

Very disappointed in their joke. Maybe we should hit them where it hurts and not buy farm pass or diamonds for a month.

Agreed, but too late, I first bought the farmpass and then saw their failure with the April Fool's...

Hadn’t seen this until now. (Are we sure it’s for April Fools?)
I just hope that if it isn’t, it doesn’t backfire like it did in Clash with Builder’s Base. People had wanted night mode and direct pvp (player vs player) and whatever else, for a loooong time. It was ruled out for the game but then finally introduced in a “minigame” mode, with a second base. Some liked it but I think from the uproar, more people quite resented it taking time away from their main game. After a few updates, they’ve left it there as-is, unchanged for years.
Sometimes what we think we want isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
I’m more inclined to take it in the spirit with which April Fools is intended, as a joke. I don’t think they’d have done it if they thought for a second that people would think it was a malicious prank.
In these days of real-life stress and strife all over the world, (and I know I can only speak for myself) but I need a reason to have a chuckle whenever it presents itself. Even if I’m not in a creative enough mode to come up with something myself, I always look forward to seeing what things various companies and advertisers come up with on this day and if I haven’t run across any, the whole day feels like somewhat of a let-down, lol.
Take heart—an update may be coming soon to cheer people up again. *Hugs*

IMHO, it wasn't a cruel joke as I fell out the chair laughing at the possibility of growing rare plants which don't need sunlight to thrive. It would be cool playing at night and see the screen dimming gradually to alert me to go to bed soon. Good one Team Hay Day. ;) ==LynnK==

Ah I see, that is true, in the 'ruled out thread it still says "second sugar mill" and that happened 😁 I certainly remember the time when someone (not me) suggested using the Trading Post to trade BEMs and SEMs within neighborhoods and then CM Nick said it was ruled out because the feature would "throw the game out of balance". Well, it seems Team Hay Day revisited the suggestion years later and found a way for us to use the Trading Post to ask only for items we may sell in the shop without throwing "the game out of balance". Never say never. ;-) And with live game teams evolving from "small teams" to "slightly larger teams", I think Team Hay Day will have more resources to improve on its creation quicker than in the past. justhayday.boards.net/thread/1016/evolving-small-teams-slightly-larger?page=1&scrollTo=23541==LynnK==

Tahoe 🐾 THX for pointing out your view of things. Hopefully you are right and maybe a miracle occurs some day in the future not far away and we're getting the Night- Mode. So many players are longing to this special feature. I'm convinced SC is aware of this....

But which time zone would be used for night mode? I certainly wouldn’t want it in my daytime. Having the seasons opposite to mine is enough. I would want it optional if the northern hemisphere time is followed.

Given that I rarely farm after 8 pm here it would not work foe me if most of my farming was done in night mode. I think it would be the end of HayDay for me then. I have been farming for about 9 years now and I would miss it but I can’t imagine doing all the farming in night mode.

🌼GymGirl🌺 & 🌻 Farmgirl 👩🌾 When the wish for a Night-Mode come up in the first place (way years back in the past) it was clear that it has to be an optional thing due to the different time zones. So, I think.... IF it's gonna happen some time in the future (I for myself have given up hope, but that's my personal opinion) SC will introduce it with the choice to activate it or not. I take it that they'll have that in their mind.

My personal thoughts are that, although night mode is desirable, at this late stage of the game it would take a huge amount of programming time to set it up. If it had been there from the start, that would be different, as all new decorations and other introductions would be built with night mode in mind. Team Hay Day has only so many hours in a day, and personally I would prefer them to use those hours to continue developing areas of the game rather than diverting their efforts into something that is a cosmetic change, no matter how much we would all like it. Adding in options to toggle between modes would be even more complex. I've played a game in the past where night mode happened, and it very quickly became "ordinary". The timing seemed to be based on my location. At the time I was working full time, which meant that most of my gaming took place in night mode. Just my own point of view, of course.

Cowslips THX for your point of view. Your arguments are valid, no doubt about it. And yes, I agree with you that it would have been better to implement such a thing in the very beginning of HayDay. Honestly, I can't contradict what you stated, it's logical and comprehensible. Normally I'd never written so much about this special theme, as I know it would be for nothing, Night-Mode is out of play. I've blocked that in my mind but became remembered with the April Fool's of SC. I don't imply that SC wanted to displease us with their "joke", but it wasn't a good idea to dig out a desired feature without the intention ever implementing it.

Thank you Cowslips, I agree that it would be very difficult to implement a night mode now and I also think there are other things that should be concentrated on. As I said, if it was implemented the time zone would be a big issue from my perspective. Personally I don’t want a night mode at all.

Thanks Cowslips for the info. I do not know about programming so I cannot judge how easy or difficult to include such a feature. Definitely, I think that there are different aspects that must be improved in the game and the priority must be for such improvements. My personal point is to see this feature in the game in the future. I am playing another game, the developer has introduced Night-Day feature as the players wanted, it is optional as it should be so the players that do not want do not use the N-D feature, and the time-zone is location-based (so when one travels to another time-zone, N-D changes according to that time-zone). Any feature introduced in a game becomes ordinary within time, and it is inevitable - natural. E.g., derbies are pretty ordinary for me and my trading group. So, such features may give joy to some players for a period of time until they become ordinary and introducing such features can also send the message to the players that the developer is paying attention to the wish of the players, which is important imo as the players want to support a game that they love. I think the other point is that making the wish of the players subject of April joke and the reply from SP upon the reaction of some players "sorry, we had to do what we had to do" is not the best approach, and that's what made some players surprised or upset or irritated, including myself. Personally hope that SP will be a little bit more careful before making a joke publicly. We all love this game and hoping to see new features or improvements (a town update with a new land without permits would be great!). Happy farming to all players.

Dear farmer, primary the subject of this thread was a complaint. I think we all agree that SC wasn't very lucky with the choice of the April Fool's. As the Night-Mode is more or less an emotional thing opinions differ very much. Of course there will be always players who are not interested in such feature they consider probably as expendable. But my feeling is...both the members from the German HayDay forum and our JHD forum would be pleased to get it. With the option to use it or not, of course. Apart from that I find the discussion and the different point of views very interesting. Every argument...be it in favor or against it...is valid. We don't know what is gonna happen, we have to be patient as we always have to be. Maybe we will be surprised. When I said I don't believe any more that the Night-Mode is gonna happen it's entirely my own sight. Maybe I'm wrong, who knows? Only Supercell knows.
