Thunderstorm frequency

[__saiint__]

Hello all, I'm going to keep this short and to the point.

Thunderstorms in city are loud, obnoxious and way too frequent - they are completely detrimental to maybe 90% of RP that occurs in this city and I'm going to be honest in saying I've been tempted occasionally to log off whenever one occurs because its not like you can hear anything when one occurs. There have been suggestions made to lower the frequency before, alas, I have noticed little difference.

My suggestion would be to limit them to 15 minutes before each server restart (storm).

PROS: Better for RP, id assume most people would be happier.

CONS: Someone would have to figure out how to time them.

Have seen clips of other servers that do something similar where there is harsh weather close to reset to give people a physical heads up if they miss the announcements. Also give it reason for calling it "the storm" i definitely think this is a good idea +1

It's so incredibly loud that you can't hear anything anyone is saying while it's ongoing.

I agree with this, the storms make it impossible to hear anything going on even when you are inside of buildings.

I have taken to going inside or just stopping situations when there is a storm. There is only so many times you can say "Can you say that again I couldn't quite hear you..."

Even inside you still hear the thunder depending where you are. I just use the time to go afk and get a drink ect which isn't ideal.

This used to be the case. 5-10 mins before the restart there would be a storm which was ok. You are already avoiding new RP because you don't want to get cut short. But when something as inconsequential as a thunderstorm is starting to affect/ stop RP that's when I think something does need to be changed.

You most likely have sound effects volume down. Most people have it loud maxed so they can hear gunshots, cars ect

I agree with Maverick Delta here, I believe what he is saying is the truth.
