Guild Wars 2

Maybe make it a side project. But this game would be so much more awesome if there was dynamic weather.
You already have small patches of “static” weather in certain spots, those are nice but on a larger scale would be even more amazing. Specially in towns!

The game already has dynamic weather.

Bitfrost/DryTop/Silverwaste all have dynamic weather as part of their meta events.

You will have to clearify what you mean by dynamic weather.

I’m surprised that during the time of Wintersday you don’t see snow falling in parts of eastern Kryta and NW Ascalon close to the Shiverpeaks. I know Gendarran Fields has some but it would be interesting to see that increase further west on the map at times. Light snow with some dusting of areas of LA would be interesting.

It would be cool if A-net did a game jam and someone did this.

No, those are event triggered weathers. I am talking about actual dynamic weather effects, such as the ones seen in games like FFXI, Witcher III and FFXIV ( http://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Weather ). Those are real dynamic weather that are independent of events or triggers. They just work as weather would work in specific regions (IE Northern areas or colder areas get snow and snow storms, Southern areas or warmer areas get tropical storms and windy conditions).

See this FFXIV example (Night time + Cloudy + Thunderstorm).

Yep, i would like to see divinity reach on rain, not just specific area in queensdale that has endless rain.

I vote No. You might be lucky enough not to notice that rain and snow add a lot of graphics clutter that increases lag.

So because you are running on insufficent hardware that causes “lag” by displaying (not even rendering) some snow/rain in front of your screen (it’s nothing more like that, it’s not there are 5,000 snowdrops actually rendered as polygons) like almost every other game does (and it’s actually already happening in GW2 as mentioned before) you are voting no to all users and forever? Heck, even Tomb Raider III for the PSone manages to display rain and snow – software rendered.

I took some unwanted dive near at some shore around Orr and had to swim back to get out of the water. It started to rain when I was on solid ground again, while the sun was shining trough grey clouds. I almost could smell the salty air. That was great and it happened once to me.

Weather would add to the mood so much, as well as longer sunraises/sunsets and darker nights.

Excelsior and good night.

I would love to see more dynamic weather of appropriate types on all maps.

I think my favorite weather event is the rain and wind on the NE side of Mount Maelstrom. I’ve been meaning to catch it after the meta and record the audio from it then loop it to about 8 hours. That sound is so relaxing and would be great to sleep too.
