Wet effect is a joke!

There's more than just a graphics team. Calm down.

I know there is more then just a graphics team, it's more about half done content being released, weather effects should have been day one at release, not have a base for weather effects in at launch, 6 months later patch in half the remaining rain effects, 3-6? months later finally finish rain, what do we get to look forward to next year, your character sweating when there is hot weather in the desert, it's like they said last year when they delayed 2.1, it should be ready to go, or put off until it is ready instead of little pieces at a time.

The puddles and footprints will be a good addition and really help give a sense of "presence" to your character and the environment.

This is amazing and I look forward to this! I love love love the details!

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.

It could be constraints within the game engine, or constraints with how the scripting would work, a particle effect is just that, but you have to have it scripted, and that could cause issues with the way they have things coded. There's more to it than just BOOM added particle effects....

We all know what the limitation is, but if you say it half the forum will be at your throat with words like "elitist" for staying the truth.
