Would you be happy if we would get a weather system in DBD?

I doubt that is a good idea. right now, you can disable the fog due to your graphic settings, so only ppls playing on higher settings are actually affacted by it. That leads to a disadvantage if you use the "better" settings. I doubt weather would be any different.

I think it would be cool. Would love to see a map with heavy rain tbh.

It wasn't op. It causes some problems with the game. Also seemed like a pointless offering to them.

This was brought up in Dev stream a year or so ago regarding Red Forest having the rain weather effect.

They said it would be quite difficult to do other weather effects as the Red Forest one took a lot of effort.

They have been doing minor weather effects since. Lery's has drifting snow, and Ormand has very pretty flurries.

It would be Cool but how it would it work for Ormand

Could be used as a natural evolution of the Fog system. Have weather effects get harsher when the "Fog" is thicker, or vice-versa if offerings are used to lessen it. Could also enable the Reagent Offerings to be useful on some of the indoor maps that don't have fog by giving them unique "weather" effects tied to the system.

However, my biggest concern would be how these effects would likely obliterate the game's performance on any platform that isn't using high-end tech. If you're on current gen (soon to be previous gen) consoles or using a middling PC, DbD could realistically become unplayable when intense weather effects are active.

So I think it would be pretty neat from an atmospheric perspective and could create some unique balance/strategy nuances on each realm, but I don't think the game or the hardware running it are at a point where they could handle this effectively yet.

Aside the bugs this would surely cause. I don't like another RNG introduced into the mix, Both sides already has to worry about whether they got a good map or not, Then if the tiles are in their favor or not and the list goes on and on.

Adding thunderstorm into the mix that could possibly mask Survivor breathing, Footsteps,etc or a Snow weather making vision harder plus fog offering can be a pain in the bum.

So yeah the idea looks good visually and on paper but this would be very horrible when actually implemented.

It wouldn't just be a console thing. DBD also has minimum specs, so things like that could also effect systems on the lower end of the minimum spec. The moonlight offerings also caused issues with lighting, which hindered them creating maps with other lighting or maps with even something like rain, which was possible after disabling it (e.g. Huntress Red Forest map).

It'd be a cool system for sure. But the possibility of lag for a lot of players is risky. Not everyone has a high end PC. More people have a low end PC or own a console. There are certain type of scenes in games that tend to be laggier than others, e.g. huge crowds, changing weather, etc. Rain is a good example in games. It tends to drop FPS for people

That's what you'd think. Until you realize this is DBD and everything released usually has a plethora of bugs.

That's true but most people don't have access to the new consoles yet, even if they have the money to afford one. Plus it's not like BHVR will just drop support for the older consoles. They still need to be considered when adding new content that could cause performance issues.
