Forum:Seasons

Someone may have thought of this before me, but hat if Monster Hunter had a Seasons system in addition to day/night? If you've checked the Moga Forecast before on Monster Hunter Tri, you would notice that some monsters will be "breeding" at times, making them more widespread and numerous throughout the area. What if these occurred on a regular schedule, tied in to seasons? Each season would make a visible change in an area in addition to different monster behaviors; for example, light snowfall on the Deserted Isle in Winter (but maybe not enough to necessitate a Hot Drink), or clearer skies over the Tundra during Spring or Summer. Large monsters, too, would be affected by seasons, for example, being asleep at the start of the quest during winter and fighting more sluggishly (or just be unavailable for quests), or being more aggressive in summer. Some monsters may even show visual changes between seasons (winter coats or summer coats, for example).

Of course, seasons in-game would be tied to the game's own time system as opposed to real time, maybe changing every few in-game days offline, or changing every real-time day online.

...Then again, this might make things a little too complex. I don't know, what do you all think?173.22.241.179 14:41, December 6, 2010 (UTC)Cobalt
