I think there may be a bug with the "wet" effect on our characters. I didn't notice anything wrong until doing a bunch of Ramuh Extremes. The first time on entering a Ramuh Extreme (where you still have the circle that you can't leave until everyone is loaded in) your character has full wet effects, as in pic 1. However, after a wipe, you'll see that the wet effects have been removed/diminished when I have changed no settings, as in pic 2. The wetness on entrance to Ramuh Extreme is different then after a wipe, which is a bug already. But I'm guessing that maybe the wetness is bugged for all raining locations, such as pic 3 where I see no wetness while in the rain. Excuse the naked lala that I've used to amplify the wetness I'm trying to show.


Area and coordinates: Anywhere Raining, and Ramuh Extreme on entrance
Steps:
1. Join a not-in-progress Ramuh Extreme, and see the wetness on character
2. After wiping, look at the wetness on the character again, and notice that it isn't really present anymore except some on the legs
3. Same thing for raning locations, nowhere is the wetness graphic as intense as on the entrance to Ramuh Extreme.

Note I am playing on maximum graphics with "wetness" in character settings on, except with occlusion culling. No changes to any settings were made between the pictures.

pic1: on entrace to Ramuh Extreme, very apparent wetness


pic2: after wiping once, wetness reduced to only legs


pic3: In rain, no wetness visible
