Its just awefull and client side, so one sees rainand other next to him see sunshine WTF?

Clauds suddenly 2D and when night comes in the starry night sky is infront of passing clouds lol who program this must a super nub:(

And rain man thats so terible even a lowest budget game have better rain then this crap:(

And you are surprised in this? I think the expansion put in some of the good concepts that made most of us take notice of the game but sadly concept with AV never comes over as complete or successful

Seems the last couple of nails are now on route to the Darkfall coffin. lol.

AV implement  game  feature poorly ? But they have always had such a devotion to quality in the past with descriptions fitting the in game features perfectly.

/sarcasm

I'm inclined to agree, I definitely won't be paying to play on ANY server if this is the type of crap they churn out.

Disappointing, and to think I was actually going to drop hard earned green on the NA Client. Safe to say I will no longer be making that rash decision lol.

Yeah it sucks, Mortal Online looks much better.

There are many things that could make me not want to buy Darkfall but this isn't one of them. It's just too trivial to be noticed.

Let's wait and see how it plays.

Can't the weather be turned off?  If it can, then it really doesn't matter I guess.  Most people that love PvP will turn off anything and everything to squeeze 1 or 2 fps more out of their system. (At least during big fights)

I don't get why this is such a big deal. Why would you care if you're fighting in a giant battle while it's "raining" but your friend doesn't see rain?

It's too trivial compared to the other flaws of this game.

Because this:

makes it so that you can't see crap while the other guy can.

Its out of sync just like monsters were at release. Its obviously supposed to be server side not client side, since the  weather maps and lore explain it.

That being said it needs sound and less freaking droplets.

Once its patched properly i would say its a decent weather system.

Damn... that really sounds horrible. So much for the "tactical weather." If its possible to disable, then most people probably will, since its likely to affect their pvp performance pretty much. So Aventurine put in a (horrible) system that virtually noone will use.

Even worse; if its not possible to turn off, then the hackers will "turn off" their own "personal weather" and own a poor sod stumbling around in heavy rain while the hackers got sunshine.

OMG!  That's the rain?

It looks like some kind of effect like when you open a magic box and light is emitted from it.  I never would have thought that was rain.  Even in the context that the picture shows.

that seriously looks horrible. Not only those god aweful lines, but it looks like theres a 10 feet diameter of rain just over the player...and wtf,...no clouds? raining from a clear sky?

wow ok that's some fugly weather right there lol

is there snow?

you gotta show us snow!

Looks like someone at AV finally figured out one way to use render clouds, add noise and motion blur filters in Photoshop.

Well, many of the fanbois will learn there is a difference of saying you have a weather system and actually having one thats respectable.

Nothing Aventurine does will ever be respectable, because Tasos is not an MMORPG fan, but an extremely shrewd business man. If it's enough to say they have that game feature, then it finished. He is ONLY worried about being able to CLAIM his game has this or that, but the implamentation have always been pisspoor and rudementary.

The weather sums everything up really, we were promised:

"In Darkfall weather will change and will affect players in a real way. Wind will affect sailing ships in naval warfare; it will affect player visibility[1] and so play a strategic part in siege and raid planning. The direction of the wind will also affect how some NPC creatures detect your scent. The wind may also affect the trajectory of projectiles such as arrows. However, winds and weather will not affect the trajectory of spells [2].

Finally, Darkfall has been said to include a dynamic weather map that players can use to find local weather in different locations in the world [3]. This weather will move across the map according to the prevailing winds. [4] "

And got that screenshot. Amazing.

At least the weather is actually in, but then again even a stopped clock is right twice a day.
