Thread: Rainbows?

  1. #1

    Rainbows?

    Ok don't laugh, today I saw an arched rainbow in the game and I mean for the first time. Never saw any in 1.0 either.

    I have seen sunlight patterns and that kind of thing before but in Gridania in Jadite Thick before the altar area, right near or rather through a waterfall there was an arched rainbow and it wasn't there for long.

    Is this common in the game? any other rainbow sitings people know of? I need to post my pics of it.

    Spoilered for huge I mean huge like 1920x1200 so duct tape yer tables together before u open it, they are gonna break!
    Um ok the spoiler tags didn't work..

    This is the first time I've heard of this. That said rainbows are created due to light reflecting off mostire in the air at just the right angle. It's very posspile for them to show up at waterfalls during the correct time of day. That's probably a standard occurance at that location.

    That rainbow does appear the most often (due to the waterfall always being there of course). You can also see atmospheric rainbows after rare weather combinations (such as going directly from showers to sunshine), but even then they don't always show up.

    Location on map, its right before the entrance into an area with an altar on a stump or rock, it has tiles. Altar was in cutscenes for cnj I believe.

    I've seen them in a few zones. The only one I ever bothered to take a picture of was in the middle of Central Than while I was sitting on top of The Coffer & Coffin.

    I've seen atmospheric type things like Aurora Borealis Northern Lights, especially within the beast tribe quests for Sylphs but not the standard arched rainbow before.
    Can you tell me where you have seen other ones pretty please??

    I can't stop laughing at you character portrait and screen name.

    Yeah there are some random after rain but they are VERY rare (like in rl) and that's an awesome detail.
    Saw it days ago in Hinterlands.
