Hey I've been thinking about the game and how to improve it and one thing that stuck out was perhaps emplacing dynamic weather scenarios. Perhaps occasional snow in the mountains or rain in cities and forests etc. Dynamic enviroments would really set GW apart from a majority of the competition. Anyways tell me what you guys think. Thanks

Well I do believe it's a simple job of shaders and screen textures. Not that hard to implement graphics wise, WoW has done it. It might put strain on lower spec pcs so you'd have to be able to turn it off.

Nice idea (I think it snows in the mountains already though)

This could easily add to lag issues.

Frazzy - In that case any update could add to lag issues, don't be silly. Areas in GW are instanced.
