I've zipped through the Field of the Dead a couple of times on the way to Lacheish Plains, but this is the first time I've noticed it's raining. In fact, it's the first time I've seen any weather effects in Age of Conan.

Nice and subtle, it works for me. It's not as clear to see in the video, but you get the idea. Snow will be the real esthetic test though.

I don't recall it ever snowing in Vancouver past February before and now it has snowed a couple times this past month.

What's even more bizarre is that it's been damn freakishly cold all Spring. We've only had two mildly warm days so far, with plenty of hail and thunderstorms inbetween, which most residents of the lower mainland will tell you are rare here.

The usual progress for Vancouver is a warm-to-hot April, followed by a rainy May and June, during which everyone complains about when our Summer will start, forgetting the warm days before. This year, they'd be right. I'd be hard-pressed to even call this Spring.
