Remove Rain Effects? (Poll)

[Elindor]

Should rain's effects on game mechanics be removed?

If the effects are there for "realism" it seems a bit out of place considering realism is not the primary balancing factor in other things in cRPG. 
As far as balancing goes, it slows everyone down, but it affects those with more AGI and athletics more than people with high STR and low athletics - not to mention it is bad more ranged users. 

So to me it seems like an unnecessary factor of imbalance.
Love rain as an atmospheric element though - just not sure the effects on mechanics are needed.

Anyhow thought I'd bring this up.  Not a huge deal, but not sure what it offers.
Interested to see how people vote/what they think.

Just make it rain less.

Just remove the penalties but keep the rain.

It does rain a stupid amount. I wouldn't mind that so much if the effects weren't a pain. Balancing by weather effects seems daft, particularly as crpg has never been overly concerned with realism.

Stop insulting the poor rain... 

If to remove anything, let it be night time. Completely useless, makes you harder to block. Cheers to all the shielders.

My point exactly.

This and it screws me over a ton.  Helps cav and heavy armored people more.

[The_Bloody_Nine]

yes, you are right with this. As cool as rain effects sounds on paper everyone is simply annoyed when its raining and hopes it stops on the next map.

This is either trolling or too many muscles constricting blood flow to the head.

You have city maps good for ranged, open maps good for cav.
You have sand storms so cav doesnt see where they r going, night where inf has trouble seeing the direction of a hit, and you have rain, where ranged gets nerfed.

Each map/ wheater type has its advantages and nerfs. I think rain fits in pretty well on both realism and game balance.
