I dont care about particle effects, but negative effects to running, xbows (75% of effectiveness) and bows (90% of effectiveness) are just lmao.

It shouldnt be that way: if i play xbowman, i cant play, if there is rain effectively. If i play agi char, i cant play, if there is rain effectively.

I'm not sure it's that to be honest. I didn't know until recently how much rain effected me as an archer and because I have particle effects off I never knew when it was on, I just assumed my computer was being slow...  :rolleyes:

I say leave it since it gives me a bit more of a challenge (as long as I get told it's raining by a clanmate) so I quite like it.

Yeah. Archers with 90% are ok. But what about xbows 75% effectiveness only?

And running speed. It hurts agi at most, because str builds are slow anyway.

normally rain is nerfing xboews in real. the himid rain has effect on composite horn bows of xbows and bows made of composit material (hunting xbow, light xbow, crossbow,nomad bow, strong bow and khergit bow) they lose range and penetration energy and with that projectile speed decrease and accuracy decrease. rain has also effect on moving speed there due to the mud u cant move that fast. in history these factors turned battles in the 100 years war for example the battle of agincourt (where french crossbow men were uneffective due to rain factor) and the battle of crecy where french heavy armored knights were dieing in mud and were shot by longbowmen due to their slow movement speed.

make it that rain only effects movement speed, hunting xbow, light xbow, crossbow, khergit bow, nomad bow and strongbow

But there would be even more xbowmen if the rain effects weren't that strong

This, and I play an athletic archer as my main.

I love the fog, and I enjoy how rain changes things.
I'm not normal and I don't pretend so, my approach is pretty much a bomb crescendo.
Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.

But... Why? Everyone suffers from these penalties while it rains so I don't see what the problem is. I like the rain, means I can safely get from point A to point B without worrying of uber accurate xbowmen 2 shotting me. & btw everyone carrying a crossbow makes the rain a life saver since it seems C-rpg is entering another golden age of range and lame. Keep the rain, if it wasn't hard coded I would say make it's negative effects even more noticeable.

I though people wanted ranged nerfed a bit, or even a melee-only day.  Rain seems like a perfect fit for these folks.

That is what I thought, but to be fair the athletic folks hate it.

I like the weather and night time effects though as it spices things up, though I do wish that night time was a bit darker.
