It's not that weathering is needed, It just would make graal more immersive in gameplay, and can allow more variety of players to enjoy doing more task such as RP in darkness, Rain,Ect, I don't see why it wouldn't be added since players if they don't wish to have this can just turn weather effects off and not deal with it at all considering there isn't really many weather effects as is.
Shadows around trees i think also are there, It is just a graphic improvement, Not exactly needed or have to with every object. So I can understand why it may not be added in.
Well, the friends only and ignore invites, What i mean is if you put on friends only, It also kinda just ignores invites you get as well, So a player would have to add the people to get a invite to house or a GH.
And with the seasonal bugs, Yes I do understand they are seasonal, But that's kinda where it is problematic for many players, If you was starting a bug collection in your house, You would have to wait months for each bug, And if the season bypasses and you miss your chance to get that Mantis, You then have to wait a entire year or so to get that chance again, That's where it becomes problems for players who want to do task like that which is why if a weather/effect is some kind of shape is put in it's much easier for players to get what bugs they desire without a extreme long wait. Plus would just simply make graal look much better with a night feature anyways
And by status, it's not exactly New-Player friendly, New players usually do not have a clue what they are doing, Adding Something like the ability to insert the black background code or white fonts without going online would be more beneficial for players and easier to understand, I'm not sure if players still believe this but many players a while ago believed backgrounds was buyable and can no longer be obtained?? Which kinda goes to show it doesn't make sense for new players they don't know you put in a code to change it in the first place. It would still be extremely customizable, just also making it extremely easy to input it into a status.
And with looting, I don't see how it matters with how much you have, I don't believe there is a certain percentage increase if you have like over 999 loot, If you got 800 loot before the limit cap, and it equaled to 10k, 8k today is still 10k, You just simply warp to onnet, go sell loot and warp back to destiny or big city and get another 200, so that's kinda where it's pointless it doesn't really discourage you from looting all your doing is just getting your gralats sooner which may just make people loot more as it's just more visual and you see the progress.
The explosive arrows i think was removed because of PK, from what I'm told anyhow. Which is kinda a shame Because it helped newer players with farming. If it was used for PK they could've just made it not do damage, or not count as a kill? Like only a in house object that can be used so players could farm with it.but anyway I think i already made a massive paragraph lmao
