ability to toggle weather effects, can i have it?

Dear SE,

I would like to request the ability to toggle the graphical option that controls weather on or off. It would give a lot of people the option to turn their graphics settings up higher especially in zones near gridania. I don't know about other people, bit the rain I'm the black shroud is the only thing keeping me from turning my general drawing to 10. The rain also reduces visibility and to me, is generally annoying. It just rains too much.

The option was in ff11, and I think it is in most games nowadays. It would be nice to have the option, and people who like the weather effects could choose to leave them on.

I think it would allow a lot of people to play the game who might not have top notch computers as well. Open up a new player base for you.

Thanks,

Jibe

P.S. XOXO I love you SE.

I agree. I was just looking for this option yesterday morning, when it was raining in-game and my GPU was having a rough time of it.

I think this is a great idea. I don't usually have a problem with any of the weather effects, but I know some people who say that the rain in the Black Shroud and the wind in La Noscea give their computer problems.

And besides, sometimes you just want a nice sunny day instead of rain and gloom! ;)

i am for this. it strains my already-taxed laptop a bit much.

There isn't already ?

yes please,im looking for this option too..

This would be a great help and i don't know why it wasn't already implemented, it was asked for in Alpha in feedback but it never appeared.

I don't have a problem with the weather effect, but bumping it anyway. People should be able to turn it off.

At least this is a thread with a proper request and explanation, need more of these!

This may not be important to alot of people, but if you see this thread and think "hey, having this option wouldn't hurt, might even be cool", then you should post something on here.

The more people replying to the thread, the more likely SE will take notice and add the feature :)

Thanks guys!

Although I have no problems with the weather effects, I do wish I had more control over the games graphic settings.

I vote Yes :)

Rain is just annoying. It LAGS, yet most games rain doesn't even touch frame rate. It also just gets in the way and is annoying.

The effect isn't even that good to make it interesting and nice.

a very good request indeed, please implement a switch for weather! i've perfectly fine-tuned my XFX HD 6870 to 28% fan speed, that's almost noiseless. while fishing with rain and botany with rain in gridania (i live in the gridania region, i try to stay there as much as possible!) fan speed goes up to 40% because the graphic card reaches 77 degrees celsius and has to be cooled down, it starts to get really noisy during rain only. re rest of the weather is just lovely, maybe just make the rain a bit 'thinner' if there will be no switch for it?

I made one but it got ignored! D:

On-topic: /signed I don't need it but there are plenty who may!

Yes please, we need to have a toggle for weather

I'm for more control of the graphic settings as well, and certainly in game settings when they have the time or ability to implement them.

On a side note I wish there were more subtle weather effects in the game at all times. The environment is pretty static/still when there is no weather effect. A wind or breeze really brings life to the environment and is really well done imo.

Definitely would like to see this implemented.

Yes please do something about the graphic control and the weather it does rain to much in the black shroud and the limsa area my computer laggs really bad when it rains i have a a tough time doing leves and gathering plues trying to look stuff up on my internet browser laggs realie bad when i have the game running as well looking up stu so being able to lower the graphic's and turning of the weather would make the game more enjoyable with out the lagg

I don't have a hard time running with weather effects but I support the addition of more options such as this.

I personally enjoy the weather effects, and they dont really effect my laptops performance. However, this is not the case for everyone, and such an option would be a life saver for them.

As well as this, I would like to see more option on graphics all around. EG: terrain detail, caracter detail, spell detail etc

I've never had an issue with it but it would be nice if people could toggle it on and off to make their gaming experience better. ^-^/

Yes please, I would like some control on weather affects too

i always have to temp log when it starts raining in Grindia. damn you ati hd4850 @ 1280x720!

I dunno if it's just me but I never notice a difference in fps in ANY type of weather and my system is between low and standard.

ability to toggle weather effects. yes, please~!<3 /like
