I was wandering around Nightfall, trying to get 2500 sunspear points to proceed in the storyline, when out of nowhere it started raining....

is the weather cycle randomly generated or set? It only rained 2 times while I was exploring, and so I was unable to find any obvious pattern.

Has anyone else noticed weather effects outside of Nightfall?

no it depends where you go to get weather, although it would be cool if it would start raining at randomtimes

It does rain at random times, but it only rains in certain areas.

it rains in factions now too. I was up in boreas seabead and it started to drizzle =D

Based on the fact that you were trying to achieve Sunspear General, I'm guessing you were outside the fort in the Marsh (or whatever that zone is called) where the Acolyte of Melandru resides. I've experienced the rain too, it's cool.

It drizzled a couple of times while I was exploring the Marga Coast.

When I saw the rain I realized that my character had never had a bath. So i got naked and typed this:

/soap
/washcloth
/conditioner

yeh, weather effects are really nice. Adds a subtle touch to surroundings, pretty peaceful if just sit there while heroes do the work. :P

KoalaMeatPie · Nov 13, 2006, 07:20 AM // 07:20

I also noted that it rains in Marga Coast from time to time.

Elona being African based, and me being of little knowledge of the African continent.. shouldn't we have monsoon season at some stage in Elona?

Have we not always had this? In Foibles Fair ( pre ) it will start raining once in a while. I just had my ele there yesterday and it was drizzling.

Living Ghost · Nov 13, 2006, 12:27 PM // 12:27

I thought I always noticed whether effects too...

Don't forget to rinse and repeat

OK, time to clarify - The weather is NOT RANDOM. I repeat, NOT Random. Pay attentionto where you ae when it rains. It only rains on a certain spot when you walk into it. On the Marga Coast it's right by the center part with the building that has all the Kournan guards on it, in the other areas, the same type of thing. It's in a speicifc spot where it rains and it just seems random b/c you can run into and out of it pretty easily without a secodn thought. Truth is, is it's always raining in those areas.

I had thought the same thig when I first saw the rain, but then decided to investiagate it... so a nice thought it is/was, but yeah.. not random occurance.

I am from Africa, now in US. No monsoons are : "seasonal winds in the Indian Ocean and Arabian Sea" got that of Wikipedia, So mostly India.

But talking about the "Africa-ish" of Nightfall... I am only in Vabbi with my most advanced Character.... Are there any cool mazes in Pyramids? Giraffes?

I love the trees btw, and the bird sounds. Good job ANet!
