I think that making climate changes in guild wars would be more immersive.

Changes like rainy or dark cloudy days, fog would be nice too. Dont you think?

Uhhh.... what?

Voduchyld · Aug 16, 2007, 03:37 AM // 03:37

Rain, clouds, fog... you know, climate changes.

Onarik Amrak · Aug 16, 2007, 03:38 AM // 03:38

And you would implement this how?

Voduchyld · Aug 16, 2007, 03:39 AM // 03:39

Uhhh... what?

What he means is that Guild Wars was not designed to handle such things.

Besides, like Day/Night cycles, it would just get annoying.

There are already such changes and areas with fixed weathers.

Some areas will have zones where it reains, zones where t snows, zones with fogg, etc.

You have to walk to make the wheather change, though, it won't change if you don't move, since it is fized to the very spot you are standing in.

Only mmo I've seen which implemented this properly was Ryzom. You'd have snowy winters, sunny springs, green summers, and rainy/gray/depressing falls.

Pretty cool, but I couldn't help but think that a lot of work had to be involved - and I definately don't see this being retrofitted onto an existing game.

I've seen the snow in the shiverpeaks, but I've never seen the rain and fog, where have you seen it, In what campaign?

It must have been really cool, that's a concept I like. Seasons... would be fine with me! But maybe just putting some cloudy/rainy days would be easier? I've seen in prophecies, across the wall, that when you walk to a certain place, the sky changes color (it becomes red), I thought cloudy days could have been done the same way. And in the Shiverpeaks, it snows, I thought that rain could have been done in a similar way too.

No I didn't, but it must be nice!!! But day/night transition is not that important for me, though.

Etta · Aug 16, 2007, 01:56 PM // 13:56

Would be nice even GTA series have them. I dont know if GW engine can handle it, night and day would be a good start. But if they didn't do it in the begining back in '05, I don't think they will do it now.

I think they would do it, if more people like you and me would tell them how great it would be.

A day and night feature would be cool. Like different monster types too: Day, mostly conditions. Night, mostly hexes.

Weather could influence the type of creatures you encounter too: Sunny, fire types. Rain/snow, water. Windy, air. Overcast(?), earth.

Tahlia Tane · Aug 17, 2007, 12:34 AM // 00:34

No thanks. Global warming bothers me enough in real life. (joke)

I think weather and instance-based stuff like in Guild Wars doesn't go too well together. Weather graphics needs to be updated first. Rain looks terrible in GW.

Cosmetic Changes - yes
Game Play Changes - no thanks

Maybe if during snow movement is -5%
During Rain ranged attack range is bit smaller but no huge changes to the monsters we find please, just some little things like -5% movement that are hardly noticed

If you want to include the (original) elements then maybe
Sunny - +5dmg to fire -5 to water spells
Rain - +5 to water -5 fire
ect

But i think asking them to add weather and have the monster spawns customized to it is a bit much

genofreek · Aug 17, 2007, 02:21 AM // 02:21

Don't really want. I get to deal with plenty of horrible weather IRL. I could even do without Shiverpeaks' snowfall and the ashy air in certain post-Searing areas of Tyria.

Keep the sunny skies in GW, please.

We could use some rain in the Desolation. Maybe flowers will grow.
