[2021] MOVED: Is it true the day doesnt matter, but only how many people/ average gamestage?

Day used to matter a long time ago; The game got harder every 7 days whether you were prepared for it or not. But since gamestage was introduced this is no longer the case.

Day doesn't matter as far as difficulty is concerned- Gamestage is determined by Character Level and Days Survived; And the 'Days survived' value only counts up when you are online.

Aside from difficulty, Day also determines your Blood Moon horde night; If you have the horde night set for every 7 days, then every 7th day will be a blood moon- 7, 14, 21, 28, and so on. This day is consistent whether players have been online or not- So if you log off on day 8, and log in on day 14 at 20:00, you'll be 2 ingame hours till a massive horde comes storming your way.


So, For difficulty, not important; For horde night, kindof important.

Unless you set the BM's to be random :) Since that is now an option as well.

Haha, true; But, even then, it's random from day; Where X is whatever day your last horde was. So you could still end up logging in to a horde instead of logging in and maybe having a day or a week to prepare still. :P
