Guild Wars 2

Guild Wars 2 has some amazing environment!
The graphics are very pleasing to the eye, and among the best i’ve seen in a MMO.

However! The sky looks really weird, in my opinion.
There is this really obvious line where the sky starts/ends.

Let me give you an example:

As you can see, most of the sky is just a solid blueish color, and the clouds etc starts appearing within that line at the top.

Why not do make it abit more appealing?
I am by no means a photoshop expert, but a quick edit gives you an idea of what it could look like with a more usual approach to it:

Obviously it would look alot better when done by professionals.

Unless it’s way too much work/and or impossible to do at this point, i would really like to see some improvements to the sky in general. It’s an important part of the environment.

Well, the original resembles a storm cell system (that’s the clouds stopping/starting…not the sky). The other is a clear/sunny day. Neither is really more appealing than the other, just different. Looks like it was probably raining on that map at that time. There are places in the game that look like the sky you mocked up. I’m glad there’s the variety.

Also, there might be some draw distance limitations playing into that first picture, can’t quite tell.

I just logged back in to check if it’s raining, and it it’s not, it’s “clear/sunny”, but still the same sky as in the first pic.
Yeah, there seems to be a draw distance limitation, even though i have it set to Ultra.
I think all places have the same type of sky as in the first pic, but some looks better, as it’s disguised by the environment (tall mountains, etc).

I’m at work, so I can’t hop on, but I know I’ve seen clear skies and such. Also some zones have different tinted skies.
