I'm beginning to give up. Rained twice at Midnight and once after 8 AM but still not 5 PM.
Just because I was sleeping, I missed that opportunity -

It happened when I was sleeping but there was 1 rain during the correct time which is 5-6 pm.
SE needs to make rain happen more often in this zone. -
06-09-2014, 02:00 PMGurrenLagannWhat's funny was me and my friends were performing a ritual dance (Harvest Dance), the skies grew dark and was about to rain at 4 PM Eorzean time.... it was showers instead. I agree. Either give us more rain or just remove weather requirements entirelyQuote:

Not sure why I always open these threads when all they contain is complaining and whining. It took me 1.5 years in FFXI to get Phobos's Gauntlets in Salvage. Get over it, this is nothing.

06-09-2014, 02:35 PMTyla_Esmeraudelol, dang. Salvage drop rates were awful back then. Old Dynamis was another one, praying every run for your piece of rare relic to drop and not get outlotted, specially in Xarcabard. I don't remember exactly how long it took me to get the RDM hat, but I think many people went years without seeing theirs until they finally got it to drop. Haha, fun times. :)Quote:

I'll just do it every now and then. There really isn't any rush, the game is not going anywhere.
That's my 2 cents. :) -

Did they add the weather NPC's in 2.28, or are they due in 2.3? Seems like a massive oversight to not include them for the Sightseeing in 2.28, if they've missed it.

06-09-2014, 02:41 PMNalienNo they don't. They need to remove the ridiculous requirements on Sightseeing. Why should you sit around waiting for a small window (at the location or weather NPC when that gets added) just to "properly" see a sight that is right in front of you? Why should they flood Thanalan with rain to "fix" it?Quote:

The things some people will say to defend this... Sightseeing is a fundamentally broken system, anyone who thinks otherwise needs to go find their pills.
inb4 "but you have to see the vista exactly as described!". Yeah, because it's not like our characters have this ability called The Echo that allows us to view past events or anything. -
