That's actually about the level of effect I was expecting, at least for clothes.

Pity it doesn't do much about the hair but then again most of us are running around with anime hair and NOTHING affects anime hair.

someone always has to cry about something lol. try putting some clothes on. what's your GPU make sure it's not garbage. Another thing wait for DX11

Landscape is effected too, trees and stones are more shiny under rain, but darker... Effect on some gear looks rather nice, I guess I was bit too quick to judge... it is better than "joke". Running droplets would be nice thou.

People are disappointed with the extremely subtle weather effects and its their gpus fault???

Okay white knight.

Dunno, my character's hair gets hella shiny in the rain. The spec boost really isn't something you can appreciate from mere screenshots, but here's my character.

From what I can tell, hair gets a large shininess boost (mileage may vary with more sculptured hair). Shadows and colors are a little darker. Mundane cloth gets a shininess boost to near leather levels. Everything else gets a soft shininess boost. You won't notice it much walking around in your myth/ct/darklight/allagan gear, but walk around in say, your goldsmith AF and you'll see how shiny your gear gets.

wow that a crappy hosting site, sorry about that. Deleted.

Did you really expect more than this ?

I guess some people wanted to be wet n' wild.

Sounds like some people were genuinely expecting clothing to react as it does in real life when wet. Yes, would have been something new that noone's done yet, from what I've seen anyway. No, it would not have been very friendly to the game's rating. As much as it's a joke, "Think of the children!" was likely first and foremost on the developers' minds. Besides, there's games out there where the characters run around looking like they're veritably doused in oil... it doesn't look good one bit. The subtle effect presented here is nice looking thing. Wait, nice... thing... but... what is this... I don't even...
