The Snow Weather 2024

[Bala]

I realize we're not even halfway into October but at the speed things take to get discussed and decided, I'm probably timing this about right.
The discussion is about the Snow Weather that appears as a sort of yearly tradition in Eclipse.

Some people love it, some people loathe it. Some people think it lasts too long, some think it doesn't last long enough.

I personally like it, I think it makes a chance for things to look that different and given we've finally had a clothing update, those winter uniforms can come out to play which is great for those that have them.

That being said, I'm of the opinion when it comes to the snow that the entire month and a little bit extra that we usually have the snow for, is perhaps a little bit too much and it would be perhaps more universally well received if we had it for a shorter period this year.

What I propose is that instead say from the first week of December to the first week of January, we turn the snow on from the 14th of December (Monday) until the 4th of January (Monday). That gives us three weeks of the snow with the majority of it concentrated in the two weeks leading up to Christmas and the week after Christmas.

could also just change it every restart lol

[crystianaxo]

snow the entire month or riot

[Demonmit1]

start it a week early in November, go for two weeks, take a week off, then another two weeks. or just give us the full month like normal.

I say we start snow from November 1st to February 29th.

(I like snow, a whole month or even longer would be great)

Since we currently get /changeweather'd at any hint of rain or storm so its perma sunny, snow season allows to play things a bit differently. I think a month is good as it is.

[Osborn]

A month's good gives people plenty of time to test new clothing, host winter-themed events, use different vehicles, etc. We've got 11 months of constant sun, so it's a nice change of scenery.

Shut up.

[SkyeFuryy]

SNOW OR RIOT. 

 

I personally LOVE the snow, and whilst it can feel long, like Osborn said above, we get 11 months of sun. Most prime times we're not even allowed to enjoy the rain anymore until an admin switches it. Keep the snowy month!

[Ronin]

I was thinking two months of snow would be fair, one month is not enough.  10 months sun and 2 months snow is more than fair i think.

[Pumpkin]

Personally love the snow and since its literally 1 month out 12 i think its not that big of an issue and would love for people to ultilize the new clothing and rp opportunities 

Given this i think it should have the same length as last year

ight you getting pulled out next time

[Jett_J]

Snow from Dec 1 to Jan 31st please

[kirascene]

Why not snow for 3 months but on and off like it would be IRL, you dont have snow everyday in winter so it logically makes sense

[Ritchie Stones]

would be cool if, the snow was on and off during a month or 2, but the constant snow for one month just hurts my eyes, and its not so pleasant to drive in, its like fun the first week, but after the 3th weeks I'm already so sick of it

[Homast]

Snow from November 1st to Jan 31st

Make it happen boss.

To be honest, this is an odd thing to see come from you Bala. snow weather makes it nonRP to use a lot of the vehicles you complain about. why not have longer snow?

This guy lmao.

Because after five rounds of it now, enough people get bored of it by mid-December to where by Christmas time, people are over the snow. It's not something people can opt out of and in some cases like @Ritchie Stones said it does cause discomfort to people and I think in certain circumstances it makes the visibility quite difficult particularly in the city.

I feel that having it be new and fresh in the two weeks prior to Christmas would have more of a positive impact than for the entire 4-5 weeks.

Lets be clear, I like the snow and I'm Mr. Make Things Look Different, but less is more with this.

That said, Osborn already posted and wasn't supportive of it so the thread is somewhat moot at this point. Just an excuse for people to meme around I guess, hope you got your sunglasses.

[Ranger]

I've gone ahead and hidden the response about meta-vehicle usage because it's argumentative, completely pointless, and holds no input to the core of the suggestion... which is about the length of the snow being present...

I ask that we keep this suggestion sacred and about the snow, not some meta-vehicle argument-to-be. Stop committing community suggestion arson and starting fires unless you're trying to stay warm in-game during the snowy time on ECRP.

[Timmaayy]

I think it should start snowing now.

100% I genuinely want snow immediately. This is the feedback we need.
