Rikashey Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Whatever time the in-game clock is set to is really weird. 23:40? Wtf is that? It's confusing as hell and I can't really tell for certain what time it is. I'd think since this game is based in the U.S. that it would go by U.S. time.

Rathlord Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 The 24 hour time system is in use across the world, including frequently in the US by certain government branches. There is nothing "fake" or "fantasy" about this, and it's preschool math to figure out even if you can't wrap your mind around how it works.

Rathlord Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Since the clock is not meant to represent any IN GAME concept (it's for the player, not the character) it doesn't matter whether this is Kentucky or Nova Scotia. The devs chose the 24 hour system because it's in wide use that everyone can understand, and because in a game where you can't see the sun it's important to have an accurate representative of the time.

Rikashey Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 There are 24 hours in the day.So the clock goes from 00:00 to 24:00The problem doesn't lie in there being 24 hours in the day.It lies in that Kentucky goes by the EDT time system not 24 hour clock. It just takes some getting used to. And the 24-hour clock is really common around the world.It's fine if that time system is based around the world but Kentucky is in the U.S. and uses the EDT time system.

It's confusing as hell and I can't really tell for certain what time it is. I'd think since this game is based in the U.S. that it would go by U.S. time.In the 24 hours clock (very common in Europe), consider that when the clock is between 00:00 and 12:00 it refers as the am. When it goes after midday, (13:00,23:40...) it is pm. 23:40 is 11:40pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnigmaGrey Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 You do realize you're using a timezone and claiming it's a representation of a clock, right? Again, you're using initials you don't understand. EDT isn't a time system, it's a time zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperJack Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 EDT is a time zone...And since the game starts at anytime, and time goes at a different speed. The Timezone is invalid. Currently, in Kentucky it will be 19:30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikashey Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 Since the clock is not meant to represent any IN GAME concept (it's for the player, not the character) it doesn't matter whether this is Kentucky or Nova Scotia. Why? Why does the in-game calendar go by the Gregorian calendar (the one we use in the U.S) and not say... the Chinese calendar? Does it actually matter what time system or calendar is in use in-game? Yes, it does matter. The game is based in Kentucky and everything in-game and lore-wise is base around being in that part of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rathlord Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 You do realize a child can grasp this time system and it has no bearing on where the game is located because it's a player-centric not character-centric feature, so this entire conversation is entirely irrelevant... right?
