I don't understand why the developers implemented such an innovative, realistic-yet-fun feature only have it occur every-other-day or so, and when it does, it's nowhere near thick enough.

Good game design dictates that players love the element of surprise: in particular, not being able to see anything. Even in days long past, with far worse computers, games would put fog in the game everywhere! It was so immersive, and they spent so many cpu cycles just to render the fog! My computer can take it, please render a thick wall of grey only inches in front of me. Why the hell should I be able to see more than 3 meters ahead of me? THIS IS A SURVIVAL GAME.

Sitting in my regular-size longhouse on a supposedly "foggy" day, and I can still make out the middle of the room. Can still see my trophies, and worst of all, I can still farm perfectly well.

I'm not even talking about Mistlands (hello, where is the actual mist in this so-called Mistlands?)

This is where movies like the Lord of the Rings trilogy get fantasy fog completely wrong.

This is a SURVIVAL GAME, and that means really really thick fog.

Please developers, I don't want to see what I'm doing. Where's the fun in that? Please make it so Ashlands has at least double the amount of fog. And double the amount of days we have fog. Why spoil all the work you're doing for that biome if I can just walk up and look at it?


for those who don't get it, he is sarcastic
