Snow Drift woes... (Great item, horrible overlapping)

[Culfinrandir]

Yard skins should have fixed that while providing a much better overall feeling with snow and snow on the house. The only problem I can see is that they have to figure out how to put snow on garden items like trees and such. I guess.....................LIMITATIONS™ ®

They do it already in Ishgard & Coerthas so it's something that is possible to do but it probably is a limitation of the current engine & PS3 matters. There's bound to be a way to use the graphics engine to toggle snow on & off without individually coding each separate entity. I imagine that it uses too much processing power to meet the current minimum specifications but we know that 4.0 raises those. Yay!

They can let us paint furniture and apply different textures... I REALLY doubt the true reason is engine limitations unless they hardcoded something ridiculous.

You are playing the same game? They seem to make backward mistakes like this all the time. Wouldn't be surprised if it has something to do with the fact they are open zones and how the ground is coded for the whole zone. They would then need to make special items that would allow for new ground textures. Also the threat that fixing said problem means they would need to cancel the gear in 4.2.

Or they could have implemented instanced housing and allowed for unique skins and weather effects.
