Weather in the beta

A recent beta update brings enhanced lightning and rain to WoW Forever. Lightning now illuminates the landscape through the game’s dynamic lighting system, making storms affect the scenery as well as the soundscape.[1]

Players have also spotted new snowstorm effects in the Alterac Mountains. The report describes these changes as part of a broader environmental rework, with fog, lighting and water dynamics also featured in a BlizzCon panel.[1]

What’s known so far

The supplied update describes the weather effects but gives no additional settings or rollout details, so their final implementation remains unclear.[1]

TL;DR

  • The latest beta build enhances lightning and rain effects.[1]
  • Players have also spotted snowstorm effects in the Alterac Mountains.[1]
