Always raining with loud thunder
 

Im not sure if i remember being in a zone where there wasnt loud , crazy bursts of thunder.

Im also not sure if this is even a bug or.. if its two bugs or none at all. Because turning environment sounds off doesnt make it stop and also is it even normal for it to be dark and rainy with loud bursts of thunder all the time ? I dont remember. It feels like im playing Path of Exile or something.

I know its normal to be completely blind in this game and yet.. you can go into the Qeynos Catacombs / Aqueducts and have it very bright and visible even though there are no light sources down there.:D But.. i just dont remember all the loud thunder and rain all the time.

The volume of the thunder is just baked into the audio file, it's not "turned up" or anything, but yes it's very annoying. And yeah the frequency of rain seems way too often based on my memory, but that's all I have to go on. It's really annoying how often it rains in Oasis, considering it's a DESERT

It's all the users carelessly dropping loot on the ground and giving their pets torches.

It's also very annoying how turning off "environmental sounds" doesn't turn off thunder. It turns off like quiet wind noises and things, but it doesn't turn off "KABOOOOOOOOSHHHHHHH"

It could be a combination of that, along with the bloodsabers constantly casting and "A worn candle" being extra powerful ! :rolleyes:

P99's raind behavior has long been known to be odd. There was a post in the bug forum relatively recently indicating that weather behavior is due to be updated, however I don't know if we've had an actual server patch since. Hence it may still be pending.

This is something that could've been fixed server-side in 09.

I like to leave sound on because I can't even list the number of times the noise of approaching footsteps has saved careless me from an aggro'ing wandering mob, mostly because I didn't want to have to change camera view and pan the camera around my character every 10 seconds while solo'ing outside

But this means listening to the never-ending BOOMS taking place in Hawaii...er sorry Norrath where it rains every day of the year

Roll a druid and fix the weather.

The thunder is really annoying. You can edit the sound files to remove thunder. First hit result , google p99 remove thunder
