Add Thunderstorms?

[Grumpy_Nic]

We've got rain, fog, night, sunny & cloudy weather. What about thunderstorms? With some decent sound effects and lighting this would look great and give a nice atmosphere during combat. With more rain than usual so its really shit to see and hear. Maybe with only 5% chance instead of 15% like rain.

Sure, i like the booming of thunder.

This would be a lot of fun!

1% chance that people could be struck by lightning and die instantly.

Also add in softly falling cherry blossom flower petals and dynamic, physics-enabled capes.

With every overhead or every minute spent on cav/wearing heavy armor

Isn't a post telling someone a post is offtopic, also an off topic post...

PS: I am aware that your post has a joking response prior to it, but just like smooth's post, you aren't taking the super seriousness of this thread.

PPS: Yes, this post is also off topic.

One thing that would be interesting was a chance for the thunderstors to be mixed with other effects, such as rain. We should have the option of turning it off- visually wise, for those poor folks with low-end computers like we turn off rain's visual effects.

Ah, but not if that post contains material properly on-topic was well, such as the first part of my post which was discussing thunderstorms! You are right though, in that your post was entirely off-topic in this super-serious thread!

The ATS servers have a map that has this. There are two main islands that each team spawn on with a small bridge connecting them. The falling cherry blossoms make ~70% of the players computers lag.

Also, thunderstorms would be cool, except if someone doesn't have dynamic effects or w/e its called enabled, they would be at a huge advantage.

Or, just remove all the fucking bullshit weather effects. Cheers

I remember that map, it was fucking hilarious.  Like the ending of MGS3:  Snake Eater in terribly optimized Warband form.

Its just a weeaboo cliche.  Having thunder and lightning flashes in this kind of game reminds me of an anime fantasy, so best go all the way.  Warband models would look better with their eyes taking up 4/5 of the face and giant hair anyways.  Also, cel-shading.

The thunder could strike all the tincans running around! The more armorvalue the higher chance of getting struck ;P

Best map ever
and it only lags if you play on wooden computers or if you're playing cRPG using a Washing Machine instead of a computer, like most of the cRPG community apparently by your "makes 70% of them lag"

Cherry blossoms 24/7

Yes this is off topic post and I don't give a POOP.

 +1 to glorious SmoothRich

BAM.

That map is the reason I turned particle effects off (didn't lag me, just looked terrible).  But I'm glad I did, because when I turned them back on (enabling rain drops) it made it infinitely harder to see riding a +3 courser.

On a semi-related note, I'll be in DC for vacation at the end of march/beginning of april for the cherry blossoms, hoping they're as gay as they were on that map.
