TimM1983 57 Posted February 10, 2014 Hello I just hopped between 5 servers to find a server with rain but no luck. Is there any solution to find these ? 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leefriendfield 438 Posted February 10, 2014 (edited) Rain is a random event, I see much more sun than I do rain but I would like more night time servers to have rain fall for it really sets the mood when its all dark outside and raining, like an alley in a bad movie. I would like a server that has rain as its primary weather it looks great and really sets the mood. Edited February 10, 2014 by LeeFriendField Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
severindk 27 Posted February 10, 2014 My guess is that it will eventually be up to each server to control these things.At least it would make sense if it worked like that. Afaik they already have control over the time cycle, so I dont see why weather would be a problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DerDuderich 149 Posted February 10, 2014 Finally! Someone who is not whining around that rains causes FPS drops! I really like rain myself... I would play way more with rain! :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DarkwaveDomina 1099 Posted February 10, 2014 Rain seems not only to be random but also client-side, I have been running around in the rain recently while my friend right next to me saw nothing but sunny skies or a bit of cloud. Personally I can't wait to experience an in-game thunderstorm as it looks amazingly atmospheric in the videos I have seen, it reminds me of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

TD808 71 Posted February 10, 2014 I think the weather at the moment is set at server restart like loot. Not 100% certain but I have only noticed weather change when a server restarts. So I believe your only option is to change servers until you find a rainy one atm. The rain is client side but the weather conditions are set by the server. If you join a dark cloudy server eventually you will see rain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ineedscoffee 464 Posted February 10, 2014 (edited) Someone told me long ago There's a calm before the storm,I know; It's been comin' for some time.When it's over, so they say, It'll rain a sunny day,I know; Shinin' down like water. I want to know, Have you ever seen the rain?I want to know, Have you ever seen the rainComin' down on a sunny day?

Deathlove 2286 Posted February 10, 2014 (edited) I LOVE the rain it adds a really super eerie feel to the game. I also want to see eventually snow and changing of the seasons to better represent certain types of camo outfits characters can wear. Also things like storms that make waves a big big threat to coastal players, lightning that can strike and kill players, maybe tornado's but i doubt the region would allow for it, radioactivity where hazmat suits and gas mask are a must and so forth.

PhillyT 554 Posted February 10, 2014 I love the rain effects. I have been seeing rain in Trainwreckers in the East coast area quite a lot lately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deus_drone 98 Posted February 10, 2014 The Rain in this game, during the day (yes eat me) I mean a cloudy day though + Silent Hill Sound track in the new upper Cherno cities = AMAZING Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
e00c 84 Posted February 10, 2014 Rain + Thunder = Win! :-) Shame it's client side and party members get rain at different times regardless of being stood next to me :rolleyes: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zfleming12 395 Posted February 10, 2014 This is funny because I have yet to find a server where I can even enjoy rain :< And yes I have been avoiding all of those 24/7 daylight servers >:( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deus_drone 98 Posted February 10, 2014 The thunder the other night in the game made me jump, I didn't realise it was in there and OMG it was loud Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hells high 676 Posted February 10, 2014 It showers, doesn't really rain constantly. If you have clouds turned off (like a lot of people do to improve night visibility) turn em on and you should be able to tell which servers are cloudy and likely to rain. Also if you watch Evilviking13 he has a little cinematic about the storms and you can watch the clouds actually disperse, so they may accumulate dynamically too.
