Seasons in zones?

[Seif]

This would be a stand out of the crowd feature visually. Especially if it was happening in the same cycle as our world like Animal Crossing. That game is too awesome for words. Keep the thread going people!!

highly possible, yes. gonna happen, very unlikely.

reminds me of the AION trailer i never experienced this unfortunatley..

AION Seasons

but how often should the season change? i really dont want to have almost all zones snowy white at the same time ;XD

Obviously winter looks different in different parts of the world. I really feel they could just keep adding these to the zones permanently instead of just superficial seasonal events.

Seeing snow fall for the first time in a year would be magical if it coincided with the turn of seasons in the real world. I just hope their textures are mapped in a smart way (not all clumped together) for edits like these to be easy.


Having few season specific nm's would only make this idea even cooler. Maybe seasonal spring benefits from certain food?

Think about it. The possibilities for hidden depth are literally endless.

I would just be happy with different area's having different climate, snowy areas, temperate, tropical, etc etc.

It'd be just like my poekmans games.

even if the SE adds stuff from this post after launch they can still do big things with the season and wow people, little things do alot.

So long as they make code that either lets this happen -or- makes easily expandable code (yes its possible to write hard to modify code - its easy to do that actually lol).

So keep bumping the crap out of this till we get a rep response. This actually has a lot of support, seldom does the forums unanimously agree on anything lol.

I love this idea + weather effects in town I love the rain and snow...

weather = important to me.... and Fog would be epic too... epic foggy morning while riding on choco back along the coast @_@/

I agree! Weather effects everything too. Fog in the night/morning spawns the undead... w/e happen to undead mobs at night?

Nobody ever mention lightning... I think a zone specifically made for thunder weather would be cool!

Yay high fives y'all!
Adding long-term quests like catching every type of fish would be epic if you could catch certain fish only during a specific season or let's say a succes rate for them was boosted or lowered during some weeks.

Gathering could also benefit from this.

Right now all the quests are pretty much the same but adding this sort pf planning an massive commitment would be great.

I never got my lu'shang rod but I think that was an amazing quest to even exist in the same game I was playing.

Ah if only...
