Suggestion - Should ESO have different climates per province/zone?
Ravingar
✭✭✭
I feel like the main thing that ESO is missing is basically beautiful and unique climates. I mean think about it, the climate, weather and fog is the exact same in every single zone. I'm presented with the same sun and clouds in Hammerfell as I am in Skyrim... Now last time I checked Hammerfell should be sunny and bright, while Skyrim should be stormy and dark.
Having the same weather in every single zone just kills the realism and the general Elder Scrolls feel. I remember Elder Scrolls V for its dark, gloomy and diverse weather, not generic clouds and plain blue skies.
An atmosphere is what makes a good open world ZOS, your just killing the Elder Scrolls vibe with your generic weather.
*Edit - Im suggesting things such as different coloured fogs, different types of fogs, different cloud shapes and shades that are unique to the province (don't get environments confused with atmospheres)

Sneaky-Snurr✭✭✭✭✭Yes, there should be a unique climate and atmosphere for each area.Yus please.
If anything, it adds to a more refined and immersive experience and I don't see any harm from implementing this.

✭✭✭✭✭Essentially we already have differing climates. Snow areas, desert, tropical and more. I do not think it needs to be made more complex. More strain on the servers and our PCs.3 -

This, Cyrodil even have an shift from the tropical southern part up to the snowy northern ones.I might be confused but isnt this already a thing ?
Grinding just make you go in circles.
Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.1 -
Ravingar✭✭✭Yes, there should be a unique climate and atmosphere for each area.I'm talking more about like clouds, atmospheric fog colours and things like different coloured clouds or something like that... a bit more variety... Like I see the same clouds in Hammerfell as I do in like in Valenwood and such.. Its more like I wish there was sort of a more major difference in the atmosphere per province.PC NA

Well would there be dark clouds in a desert, or bright clear skies in Skyrim? All I'm suggesting is that ZOS gives more depth to the atmospheres across Tamriel.Edited by Ravingar on August 5, 2017 1:27PMPC NA

Bombashaman✭✭✭Yes, there should be a unique climate and atmosphere for each area.One of the things I miss from LOTRO (although in LOTRO there was this bug where if there was a fog somewhere, it started to follow you from area to area until you restarted the game).0 -
ofSunhold✭✭✭✭✭Other (Please specify)It does seem odd that it never snows in Eastmarch. Ever. And all rain in any zone comes with thunder (but not lightning).
The Alik'r does have sandstorms though, and the amount and likelihood of rain seems to have good variation depending on zone. They've paid some attention to this, just not completely different weather profiles per zone.Classes that don't need any class ability nerfs: Nightblades, Dragonknights, Sorcs, Templars, Wardens.0 -

✭✭Yes, there should be a unique climate and atmosphere for each area.I'd also like distinctive music for each zone. You know, to build atmosphere, that thing that RPGs are forgetting require more than pretty graphics to create these days."Your mistake is you begged for your life, not for mercy.

If they actually did introduce more varying weather if anything it'll probably cripple our computers

Well tiny in game, but lore wise Tamriel is like literally occupies most of the world.Edited by Ravingar on August 7, 2017 11:59AMPC NA

✭✭✭✭Yes, there should be a unique climate and atmosphere for each area.Yes, there should be. No, I don't think game engine will ever be capable of providing us with marvels of climate.1 -
Insandros✭✭✭✭Forget that, knowing ZoS and their infinite bugs, the weather system would be bugged and we would get rain everyday, in all zone, or they'll give us crappy weather.. not to often they do stuff that please the players or help them... or massive sknow storm :P0 -
Tyrobag✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭Other (Please specify)Other- They need to remove the rainy weather from the game all together. I deal with enough rain irl, why does it have to be raining in Tamriel every time I'm in town? Even worse the weather is universal, so I can't just go somewhere else.
