Weather difference for gruoped players?

Hi Teso Team and Community,
I have a quick question regarding an observation I made the last days and I would like to know if the effect is actually intended...
So I grouped with one of my friends and my girlfriend and we are all sitting in my living room in RL :-) So we created a group, all traveled to my girlfriends phase and we started questing. So after like an hour of gametime we noticed that all 3 of us, standing on exactly the same spot (small island on Khenari's Roost) are having a total of 3 different weather scenarios going on:
1. Girlfriend: Strong rain, storming, thunderstorm
2. Buddy: dark skies, no rain or storm but looks like gonna happen soon
3. Me: Blue skies, sunny, no clouds at all
Honestly that totally messed up the immersion for all 3 of us...so I'm pretty sure this is not intended or? Is this a known problem? If so, will there be a fix? I'm pretty sure if the weather is affected, similar "phasing issues" (even we are all visible to each other in the same phase) might be happening on other mechanics etc ?
@Community: Did anyone else ever experience the same weird behaviour?
Cheers
Hiro

dannomite82✭✭That just tells me that weather decisions are made on the client.Holgrum put some pants on. Holgrum heal me I'm dying. Nag... Nag... Nag...0 -
Hiro0874✭@dannomite82 :
But even if so, programming vise it should be no problem to sync these decisions, once your grouped and select "Teleport to player", at that point a weather decision could be based on the groupleader and communicated between clients before the weather change takes affect.
Or make the decision being inffluenced by phase and area whatever... Edited by Hiro0874 on April 7, 2014 2:02PM0 -
XDem✭✭✭Yeah, noticed that too. Probably just an overlook. I'm sure it'll be fixed somewhere down the road.1 -
Gohlar✭✭✭✭Grouping has a LOT of issues in this game. It's like they never expected people to group up in an mmo.1
