Weather Factors?

[MercFox1]

*Question aimed at Beta Tester or PSU Staff*

Will the weather play a big role in PS? As in your reaver might get struck by lightning if you attack during a thunderstorm?

I haven't seen anything to defend this argument, but I really want to know from someone on the front line.

Actually, i was in a reave last night, hovering at the sanctuary. I swear i got hit by lightning cause it made a loud bang and my screen went totally white. Then like a millisecond later somebody messeged me on trillian (even though i have TweakUI set to not allow focus stealing!!!) and when i switched back to the game my reaver had exploded. So it's tough for me to tell for sure weather the lightning killed me or somebody flew into me while i was not in the game or what. All i know is that i was in a perfectly still hover when i got switched back to desktop and when i switched back to PS i had exploded.

weather has NO eFFECT on anything except visibility

also for you who got kicked to the desktop cuz of trillian

i use trillian and in the preferences there's an option that makes new messages not pop up untill you clikc on the little taskbar icon. so now i never get kicked out of games again! find that option and turn it so that pop ups don't happen, it's a life saver ;)
