Rain and Night

[Papi Pods 267]

I think having it night for like 45 minutes is way to long and I think it should be either reduce, like asylum has it, or removed completely. Rain reduces people fps, is annoyingly loud, and when it is rain at night it is even worse. Someone told me to remove rain they would have to remove night and I think that is wrong because Asylum has no rain but their night cycle is like 5 minutes. Tell me what you guys think.

Shorter night means shorter day. Its just how arma is.

[CIA JOSH 2895]

Rain does cause my FPS to drop but im not sure if its even removable. So if possible +1

[Ronin 286]

i have nothing to contribute other than papi pods has a small penis

[Guest Excision]

if u got rid of night and rain Olympus just wouldnt be the same

 

btw cleanup script is dog shit i dont have the best pc but getting 20 frames on cap cause there are 35 hatchbacks window/banana that havent been touched in 46 minutes is just cancer.

you can remove the rain easy but if you wanted to reduce the night time then the day cycle would be shorter meaning that you would end up with more night then you already do over the course of a reset

ive always had a hard time playing night time due to my shitty monitor but more recently the servers have been shit to the point i have to log out cuz i cant stand the fucking FPS issue this server has, and the fact i have to wait for it to become daytime just hurts my 5Head brain.

I personally love the challenge that rain+night combo adds. Especially if you're trying to hide, stay under the radar, or landing a helo. My laptop doesn't notice the fps drops like some so maybe that's why. I hate the sound but if I'm not mistaken you can turn that off with the ambient sound option in your Y menu.

Personally I absolutely hate the rain in this game it doesn’t look good it doesn’t effect anything that I know of besides preformance and it’s not fun to fight in during day or night. Personally I wouldn’t miss the night but I can see why some people would I think a reduction would be cool.

Night is fine

Get rid of the fucking rain.

Yup

ive been pushing for this i think its aids having such long nights no one likes playing with a circle of vision or everything being green and if removing rain would improve performance i dont see any point in keeping it

[cHROME. 219]

Asylum has longer days and shorter nights, so yeah its possible. The rain is annoying and make peoples  fps drops, keep night but but make it shorter and remove rain. 

[NexIV 139]

I would say please keep night, but screw rain, the night cycle is fine, but yeah the rain is annoyingly bad for FPS and sound wise. Even if I have rain sounds disabled, I hear it hitting the roof of buildings or vehicles. Night battles are fun and cool, seeing the tracers and muzzle flashes. But get rid of rain.

Everyday on Olympus is set to be the summer solstice which is the longest daytime possible on Arma 3. So you can't get rid of night, if you wanna shorten night your gonna have to shorten day time.

Rain- allows you to sneak up better due to surrounding noise 

Night- hardly makes a difference buy a pilot helmet

I dont mind either. Arma is supposed to be a realistic war sim-ish. Its rains and has night time in war

I have 500 hours I know, but when you're processing you need to hear vehicles, and the rain drowns it out so you need to max volume and take out earplugs. Its a big annoying cycle, just remove rain.

Which why I said rain can be used to sneak up or people. That just means you need to be more alert, not process, or have a lookout. Something should not be removed because you think it makes processing hard
