When the Resistance update releases on April 27’th, the game will progress into 1990. I suppose it will then be January, in other words, the height of winter.
I wonder will the revamped map feature more wintery conditions across all of Östertörn? Could even the Archipelago and South Coast regions be covered in white?
Even more, could future revamps remove the snow entirely, as the story progresses more toward spring?
What do think about this?
(Did you recognize any sesonal changes in the trailer?)
Actually, I personally enjoy the autumn foliage more than the snow. Snow is just… White. It needs to be spiced up with good looking terrain and set pieces.
But realistically, the cover of snow, or lack thereof, would be the same all over Östertörn, and in January snow would be natural. Wouldn’t make much sense if one region was still supposed to be in November, would it?
I doubt we’ll see a new island already in April. It will probably be held back until the next story DLC. But I have great hopes for the big island north of Himfjäll, and want that to be FNIX’s final stronghold.
I would bet that at least revamped Forest and Mountains regions are now covered in snow.
@Aesyle This is not a request for anything, hence the general discussion category. This is meant as a discussion about potential seasonal changes across the map.
Today, Archipelago is set in autumn, and North Coast is set in winter. An unrealistic yet understandable feature, but it would make sense to even out these seasonal differences as the game definitely progresses further into winter.
People should be able to say what changes they would like to see, without that having to be merged into a more specific request thread.
Seasonal changes could really boost immersion seeing Östertörn shift from snow to spring sounds exciting. By the way, here’s a quick temp guide: <a href=“36.5°C to °F - Convert 36.5 Celsius to Fahrenheit Easily”]36.5 celsius to fahrenheit.
You’re a bit late to the party. Last comment was 4 years ago. And as you might know, development of GZ has ended, so there’s no use in requesting new features.
Btw, nobody outside the US cares about Fahrenheit.
Not to mention that seasonal changes already were part of the game, but not automatically. We had winter holiday events with snow everywhere… I wonder if they will come back and if it works automatically then, or if someone is needed to trigger it.
I wondered the same thing, but I think my guess is that the events probably need to be triggered by somebody, so unfortunately the events probably won’t last forever. I definitely could be wrong though
Hey, what’s wrong with Fahrenheit? It is easily applicable! If you stick you finger in an ice cold brine solution it is 0°F, if you stick your finger in a glas of ice cold water it is 32°F. If you stick your finger up your butt it is a comfortable 96°F, and if (don’t do it!) you stick your finger in boiling water it is 212°F. Perfectly logical and very well suited for modern american science
Hehe … sorry, the devil got into me I always enjoy a good discussion about metric vs. imperial, but the Fahrenheit scale makes absolutely no sense to me. Fahrenheit actually used the four measure points I mentioned, but still didn’t manage to put a gradient on it, that is easy to remember I even prefer Reaumur to Fahrenheit - at least it is based on one of the phase transitions of water and it is used for making Parma cheese
I somehow feel that I should apologise to our American friends for poking fun at you, but in this particular case refuse to do so
And now back to the weather. Right now it is 23.85°C in my garden, which actually equals (23.85*π)°F … Oh my goodness, I just manage to find some natural beauty in the Fahrenheit scale after all …
The heat has been killing me lately. Us northerners are not adapted to temperatures around 30°, at least I’m not! It’s been like this for 3 weeks now, but today was the last day of heat, if the forecast is correct. Now it’s back to normal with 15-20°, and I can’t wait.
It’s the humidity thats killing me It was actually warmer in Oslo than Copenhagen when I visited recently, but here in Denmark we have 100% RH. I’ve been craving for a decent thunder storm to clear the air followed by a cold front from Sibiria.
Which reminds me … have we actually seen real lightnings in GZ? Not just the remote rolling thunder that lights up distant clouds, but lightning striking the nearby church tower? I don’t recall seeing anything like that … …
Well, 30° is not unusual in south-eastern Norway. But up on the NW coast where I live (not far from Ålesund), those temperatures are rare.
It is exotic though, to live in a place where you can have 30° and 20 hours of sunlight in the height of summer, and in the same place -26°, 1,5 meters of snow, and 5 hours of sunlight in winter.
As for GZ, I have never seen anything other than distant thunder.
It is NOT climate changes, it is climate VARIATIONS! I’ve kept an eye on the costal water level in Östertörn for many years now, and it hasn’t changed a bit. On this issue I totally side with our American friends and their science
