Weather effects....Or am I blind?

[Rokien]

Necrobump to add an idea:

An NPC in each area (maybe at hamlets?) that gives you a weather forcast for the next 7 in-game days.

I think they had an NPC like that in ffxi.... I could be wrong though.

Why ?, in 11 the weather made a difference the only difference it makes in this game is if Dodore is up or not.

Obviously if they add more situations where rare NM's spawn during certain weather or elementals spawn in certain conditions then I would agree but as of right now its pointless.

Did you seriously ignore where it was stated they are giving a purpose to weather? It will be essential to know weather patterns once, not if, they implement weather related mechanics.

They did indeed say weather patterns would have a greater purpose. As for now, I am not sure if you are aware but, those weather and moon phase icons do have drop down menus that display the different moon phases and weather effects in the game.

Also bumping due to this thread...

I want my dynamic weather with lightning, in all zones... LINK

[Rokien]

I don't recall if this has been said. But along side snow zones and stuff. There should be seasons for the whole world.

Seems like it was finished(by the look of that video), maybe it caused server issues? I would love to see it in the game. It will make the world seem more alive.

Server issues? How would that happen...

what?????....

[Mirage]

I'm just having a hard time imagining how clientside weather transition effects would lead to any sort of server issues that wouldn't be fixable in half an hour.

Hello.

In version 2.0, we plan on revamping the system for the appearance of weather so that the weather itself has meaning behind it. Since there are limitations to what can be implemented in the game, it would be difficult to depict every aspect of nature realistically, but we will do our best to match the weather patterns with each area in conjunction with all of your feedback.

There are things we can and can’t implement, but if you have any ideas, please send them to us.

Have a feeling stuff like the Smn unlock quest from xi gonna happen now..

Rokien, PLEASE stop necrobumping your threads, especially for stuff like this that has already been answered by the devs.
