Sandstorm!
« on: October 29, 2005, 05:51:35 pm »
A powerful sandstorm blew through ojaveda today, knocking over people, sending carts flying and bringing down framerates!

I\'ve got to ask: was this just a graphics glitch, or an \"actual\" meteorological event?  If the former, then \"cool screenshot\", and good job on coming up with the sandstorm explanation.  

If the latter, then I am really impressed!  What\'s next, earthquakes?

I think the latter, because it came before the rain started, got worse then lessened as the rain picked up

That\'s great!

I know some people don\'t like weather for lag-related reasons, but I think it adds so much to the realism of the world, that I love seeing it (plus, I haven\'t had lag problems the few times it has been raining).  More atmospheric effects means a richer gameplay experience, a more complete world, and a better environment for roleplaying.

Oh that would be so c00l.
In the year 750 of Yliakum the stalactite has broke at its base and fallen down through the huge cavern below, creating a huge crater and thus ending all forms of life which existed in it, due to medium earthquake.

I spawned into that and was thinking it was another glitch.  I couldn\'t see anything so I left it on and watched some TV.  When I got back it had gone.  I didn\'t know it was planned but I was cussing my PC as I have every day since discovering this game.  Usually cause I get killed...I love this game...or love to hate it.

They should put crackheads on a PC with Planeshift.  They get addicted to this, can\'t find time to smoke crack, can\'t buy a pipe from Harnquist or some rock.  Walllah!  Drug problems over.

Its just a color glitch, she probably logged in there and the colors were screwy, I mean...Look at my Hydlaa screenshots :/









Theres just a new color glitch system that makes things visible, but still has screwed up color...A failed attempt of a fix, I say

Suno_Regin,
You are now officially on my hate list  X(
Cant believe you stole my Screenshots and named them as your own.
Don\'t believe me?
Look at the shortcut list, why would a non-gm have those shortcuts? X(

That Enki is my RP char Ecolem with my 2 daggers and the Klyros is my GM char...cant get much red handed then that :evil:
