Isn't that actually a skill mechanic? Like you gotta watch the wind direction (which I suppose there will be a way of knowing) and then you pow pow extra hit, making the noob P2W kiddo on the other side cry and regret maxing out his credit card instead of getting gut.

Not going to lie, that sounds pretty exciting, looking forward for more info

I think its more of an environmental and skill mechanic. Wind would be nice or even thunderstorms. Real weather.

Oh man, some serious storm with heavy rain (like thunder blasting over music and skill sounds) would've been freaking awesome. Didn't see any implications of such harsh conditions in the available teasers though. We'll see I guess

it is a core game mechanic that as revealed in their Directors presentation video heavily ties environmental state with ALL game features

to address a few points:
yes weather will affect all elements and will change the world itself
to give few examples if u know about underground to the castle in l2 this kind of passage during rainsy season will be flooded and will not be accessible at all
lightning skills during stormy/rainy weather will deal extra aoe damage, while in clear weather more single target damage
stormy weather will affect archers "aim speed" (i suppose actual game stat will be attack speed) and accuracy rate

day/night cycle as well will cause variety of consequences

so this means you will not grind a single farm spot just like in l2 but straight the opposite - the whole server will have to migrate through zones when seasons/weather dramatically changes to maximize fighting ability in pve and pvp

what was mentioned in the presentation and was interesting - if you siege a castle in rainy stormy day enemy archers will have harder time to kill you from the walls

simply amazing!

Thanks GoDs3nD for the info.

ez katka
you are welcome

im so gona take a couple of weeks off from work when it launches

they said it will be both action combat and tap target system so we will have to wait a bit more on that

Nothing really indicates that it's going to be action combat at all. Every bit of gameplay we see is people just standing still with locked target and attacking them. Which means it's going to be tab targetting game, maybe it will have action camera? But we will have to see. Which honestly makes sense, this type of combat is superior for mass PvP. Action combat is terrible for any kind of higher number fights.

Yeah, I guess mass PvP without target lock could be a bit problematic. Though Im still keeping fingers crossed they add all possible skill mechanics to make it less "smash all buttons at once to win"

their korean blog articles indicate it....

herlitz i noticed they remade the dark screamer from l2 and it looks even better, like a cutthroats big ole knife
