New rain effect is a bit disappointing. It should look like this:

1. The effect is really really subtle on crafted gear but on AF gear or darklight gear, or dungeon green gear, no effect. I'll even post it soon when I get home from work. Pretty much any gear that you can dye on will get the wet effect.

3. I hope soo

Did you try using darker clothing? I'm only on High Desktop settings (The automatic ones), yet I can see quite a difference. It's mainly white or very light shades that force me to squint to notice anything.

A few examples...

Wet Fuuma from behind and plain regular Fuuma.
Wet Fuuma from the front and plain ol' Fuuma.

I strongly agree with this, I know that Aion had an option for powerful rigs to do a much better option on graphics. Didn't hurt people with lower end comps at all so no one said anything about it.

That is the issue tbh, only show ups a lot more on darker clothing with non-slick textures, but my allagan healing/casting/maiming bodies get little-no effect :/ (Yes my settings are maxed out)
Then again my thoughts on stormy weather and drenched clothing has a different image mentally.

Yet another thing that the welfare console system ruins for the rest of us. :(

DX11 Client Please look forward to it.

the wet effect on clothing are good, but the wet effect on skin.. is terrible.. i was hoping droplets or something :O

Miqo'te tails also seem immune to getting wet as well.

Patience everyone. The directx 11 version is higher on their list that making rain look better right now. I'd rather then make the entire game look better than cry about a rain effect.

I guess you didn't see the interview with Yoshi-P that basically said we'd be lucky to have it by the end of the year.....
