As nice as it is, and it is very nice, i feel its kind of false advertising, as we dont have a Day night cycle, so if new players see this, think "WOW I cant wait to experience this" and then they join, and find out we dont have anything of the sort, they become disapointed.

Screenshots like this in the gaming industry are known as "Bullshots"

They show somthing in the advertisments that the customers/players will never see, famous ones are basicly anything Ubisoft shows off about their games prior to release, as they almost always receive a graphical downgrade to what was shown or huge chunks of the MGSV and MGS2 trailers.

Though MGS2 was done on purpose to make a point.

One that to this day still bugs me:

Emergency 5: What we we're told it was going to look like and shown off as an ingame in engine shot.

Jeez, Who cares? It's a screenshot for the loadingscreen, calm down.

Better to advertise our service as accurately as possible.

Otherwise we risk disappointing new players who expected more than what we have because the pictures they we're shown, showed features we don't have.

Nowhere does it say these pictures accurately describe IG. I really don’t see an issue with it when people shouldn’t be basing their opinions off of some picture on a loading screen where nowhere does it say “This is what you should expect IG”

I feel like the loading screen will be one of the least disappointing aspects to new Limelight players

(Making two more soon)

The Dark one, that model isn't in game, might be a good idea to change the model
