Weather effects....Or am I blind?

they had sandstorms and rain in alpha ... if I remember correctly. I don't remember 100%, but I remember sort of my video card going to the crapper every time weather happened. So I'm thinking this did happen.

I never noticed there is currently no weather lol

I'd like to see some aurora weather. I know there aren't any northland areas currently, but Coerthas seems to be the most northern of all areas on the map so far. I'd love to see this implemented in the future.

I'd call you wrong, miss! There is definitely weather! Yesterday I spent roughly half an hour running under heavy rain in La Noscea! Even had a bit of fun noticing how it also rains underground (It does because the rain is an overlay and not an active effective of the background [my computer would die if it was], so it takes a bit to process the information and remove the overlay)

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.

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

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

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