Guild Wars 2

So I’ve been exploring maps on my alternate character for a few weeks now and I’ve seen some rain, some night and some day. I decided to go to my Borderlands in WvWvW and I was struck by lightning whilst in the middle of a snow storm. This may seem picky, but I think it would help with the overall feel of maps if there were more weather effects. Instead of just rain, night, day in, let’s say, Queensdale (Human starting zone); there could be light rain, heavy rain and thunder & lightning. Also in snow maps there could be light snow and heavy snow storms. Please let me know if any of these suggestions exist in any map, because I may have missed them.

I’ve been thinking about this, and conceptually it seems like a great idea, but seeing i have no knowledge on programming annything i have no idea how hard it’d be to execute/implement these kind’ve things.

Might be something personal, but i also wouldnt mind “harsh” weather applying some sort of debuff on you aswell, you’re not gonna fight/move so easilly in hard rain and snow – the problem there is it might make the game feel a bit unfair, just imagine fighting an difficult enemy and then a bad weather effect suddenly pops up.

But yeah , diffrent weather effects would be pretty radical.

I agree.

At the great hunt map when you begin to play a norn race the area is quite misty. It would be great if that was added.

I liked seeing the aurora in Elder scrolls.

would be awesome

Just to add to this, because i feel the same way, With the different weather conditions, provide buffs or debuffs accordingly, but nothing ground breaking. Like for perfect sunny weather, maybe run 5% faster, in snowy conditions attack 3% slower, in rain fire spells are less effective, but lightning spells are more effective…ect. would make the game more interesting.
Just my 2 cents.

Can we also have nights in the game? Maybe over there at Anet, the sky is bright from the city light. But in Tyria we still use torches.
