+1 Rain would honestly be nice to see and hear. Assuming its done right and unlike Conan the rain doesnt go through/into buildings.

Would love to see some weather effects.

And I second the no rain inside structures.

+1 Rain and all weather should be added

+1 I'm really hoping they add rain and storms

+1 i want a rain of chillets

They'd need to have the game more optimized before they can do that.

Shadows of Doubt had massive issues with rain causing horrifying lag. Took them ages to dial that in.

Right. They released ARK with the UE5 engine with rain, clouds, and waves. Performance was terrible. Please, lets not ruin this game just so we can have a few pretty, but useless things.

Hey now, immersion matters. If we are suddenly gonna eliminate everything that causes a drain on performance, are we also gonna get rid of shadows? Those things really TAX the machines resources.

Seriously, I am all for them not focusing on this right away but like...they should add this. Games deserve to be pretty and take you to another world. I don't need papers and leafs rolling around on the ground from the storm or anything but not wanting rain? Cmon.

Well to be fair, no one is eliminating anything. The game doesn't have these.

Some people are just asking for restraint in ADDING things that will make the game unplayable for those of us with PCs that are 5 years old and run Palworld just fine right now.

Not sure Palworld is really designed to be a totally immersive world (at least not for me). I can't really imagine that these pals are actually real. This is more like viewing a cartoon, not a movie.

You don't need realism in a game. Look at Minecraft. Everything is cubes, but yet one of the most popular games ever.

Part of the success of Palworld is that it is not taxing on PC resources and that a large number of systems currently in use can run it. This was also what made Valheim a huge success. Valheim is still very popular. I think mainly because people with 10 year old systems can play the game and have fun when they can't play most other modern games.

I stopped playing ARK, partly because they took a game that ran well, added all these things that increase immersion and made a well running game into a pile of junk.

You don't need realism in games. Look at Minecraft. A game with everything made from cubes. One of the most popular games ever.

Weather is a nice addition.

This game performs way better than Ark, I'm sure we can have some rain.

Yes it does. But why is that?

I'll leave it up to the devs to decide if rain is fine or not. I only said lets not add stuff that makes this game suck like ARK does.

Could be they aren't adding a whole slew of stuff until they are ready to optimize the game. Or maybe they never plan to add any of this stuff in the category of rain. Like other types of weather like fog. Waves. Etc.

Personally, for me, performance is a much higher priority than rain drops. If they add that stuff and put in a configuration setting to remove it, I'd just remove it anyway.

Snow and let the pals have some fun with it :D

ark is a special level of bloat, i rmb installing ark for the first time and it hit 500+gb lmao

lets not even mention their new title which requires a super computer without looking worst than the previous entry

funnily enough, both of the games use the same shootergame template, palworld just remembers to rename the title while ark doesn't hmmm

In my opinion, ARK is the game that is most similar to Palworld, not pokemon like some think (although I've never played pokemon, so could be wrong). In many ways, Palworld seems like a better version of ARK. Interesting that they both use the shootergame template. I noticed that about ARK and always thought it odd that they left that name in there.
