Wet effect is a joke!

I program for a living I understand how it works and there is no reason why it would be affected by scripting... Only thing that may affect it is processing power and system limitations... I've seen numerous games that can handle it so I highly doubt that is the issue...

yes, but if the effects are controlled by the server, like a lot of things are in this game, it could cause a ton of stress if multiple regions are raining.

incorrect,

the actual effect itself would be generated by the local client... the only thing the client should need from the server is "hey, is it raining where I am?? OK!! I'll make all these cool rain effects happen"

Just a matter of time and priorities. I suspect that making a more impressive "wet effect" is very low on the list of priorities when there's more that can and will be done in fixes, quality of life updates, and game content.

If anybody else here ever played Dragon's Dogma on the XBOX360 or PS3, and you remember what the "Drenched" status effect looked like, then you should also know that it's possible to make some really nice graphical representations of this visual effect with the same hardware that this game can also run on.
