Guild Wars 2

This is a different kind of petition, without any rant or balance-yelp.

Honestly the battles, roams and skirmishes I feel the most epic thrill at, are when it is raining ingame.
I gives me the sense of a tense hunt or battleparty and that anytime anything could happen.

I woul really love to have dark and rainy evenings and nights on the borderlands from time to time. Not with the stereotypical wolves howling but you should really hear the rain a bit, making other noises more difficult to note.
All that snowing is nice and I like the northern BL landscapes, but I mean… RAIN.

Am I alone with this?

If you want more quaggans you’re definitely alone

Thank you for your input. I guess.

Rain is awesome. +1

Thunder and lightning effects would be really very awesome. Just distant in the sky while a dark courtain of rain covers the horizon.

+1 but imagine the lag that’d come with it :/

+1 and… why would there be lag? Weather is all client side. The server just tells the client what weather script to play.

That said if rain causes lag you need to upgrade beyond your old pentium 3.

WvW is not a place to satisfy your role-playing needs. There’s gameplay to be taken into consideration.

It took 1 year to change the BL colors. At this rate it will take 987,123,987,127 years before you see decent environmental effects in WvW.

Never really thought about it – but – yes, I quite like the rain.

The snow is horrible though – I hate having my vision obscured like that. It’s already bad a lot of the time because of overdone weapon particle effects. The snow just makes me want to leave.

It could be worse though – imagine fog – or as it used to be called, culling.

(Snow+Rain)2-Quaggans=WIN

RAIN? kitten that. I want EZNET to stop making PvE update that drive WvW player to it making borderlands a ghost town.

Very true.

To the OP: I agree with you. I like the variety in weather and lighting.

Yeah, rain is cool. And I was wondering if they just recently made the rain sound louder – I noticed it just the other day the rain was really a downpour.

I don’t like the dark though, I can’t see very well.

I’d really like a moody rainy effect. Good suggestion. To be honest I’d like them to replace the snow with that because the snow effect hurts my eyes and I think the rain would add atmosphere without the static.
