It's going to be like Christmas in July?

You forgot to mention how LAVS get stuck in the snow. :P

Christmas in July you say? That gets me thinking...

(Santa arrives on Eugales II via his sled, and makes a perfect landing on the snowy surface)

Santa: Hohoho! Merry Christmas everyone... wait, this is not the Earth that I remember!

Dust Merc: Yeah... who are you anyway?

Santa: I am Santa Claus, and tell me my... 'looks at the Merc's heavy armor' highly protected friend, is this not Earth?

Dust Merc: What is Earth? Oh, and for that matter, what is Christmas?

Santa: .... Oh crud.

at fanfest ccp jian said snow could be deployed ingame at anytime
and in the 1.2 patchnotes it says 2 more terraforming options and new material for ladders and SNOW.
YAAAAY

oh. great. snow. that's exactly what dust was missing. ******* snow. great. just ******* great. not the imbalance between AV and tanks, the lack of variety in weapons, the much needed buffs to the mass driver and laser rifle, the caldari logi being the only suit to use, the pistols that out perform turrets, the god-awful matchmaking system, and most important of all: connection issues.

Not a big fan of snow in any game because all that white hurts my eyes :(

I hope adding snow doesn't have a negative effect on gameplay like lag or something else.

Winter is coming

I need my Santa heavy suit first

I more interested in Skyboxes that reflect the planet we are fighting on, or at least have a night sky to show off some of the very, very sexy nebulae and the plethora of stars above.

I mean, fighting on a frigid snowy wasteland, above a sky chocked with stars, living a life of a thousand deaths.
That's the cool way to fight.

I see death taxis playing "Jingle Bells" while running over everyone...

I love snow, a lot. I hope there will be snow falling effects, and not just snow on the ground.

Winter is coming

I want to make snow angels and throw snowballs at heavies.

in eve online the devs gave out snowball launchers :)

Will there be tracks to follow?

This makes me wonder if I'll be able to hide prox under the snow.

thats a great idea

Where are these patchnotes? I just see the devblog.

In fact, you are mistaken about the nature of the Snow involved:

This is the Snow we'll get.

Blood Raiders Heavy Suit!

There is snow....and there is mile deep ice sheets of an ice age.

Ice age map would be cool.

AWWW YEAHHHH SNOWWW. Now the game will lag more than ever trying to load these new textures an effects, this is what we wanted right?!

Snow would cause as much lag as any maps we have right now. Well unless they had particle effects which even then wouldn't cause anymore noticeable lag (Such minimal effects you wouldn't even notice it).

Ya because lag is non existent in the current maps~ sarcasm

I didn't say there wasn't lag dumbass.

Ya because you totally emphasized that there was a noticeable amount of it~ sarcasm

Ya because im replying with posts using expletives because thats so mature~ sarcasm

thanks eterne btw can u confirm this?

Maps/Environments
* Added two new terraforming types

Audio
* New material types for ladders and snow

Proper snow would be hard to move in if it got deep enough (speaking as someone who has to walk to work in the snow every winter). Especially in a Light Suit. The motors designed to run Heavy Suits should have no issue.

You forgot to mention how LAVS get stuck in the snow. :P

My bone white Caldari Assault adv will actually have some camouflage value!
