Sandstorms
« on: December 30, 2011, 06:27:07 pm »
I really enjoy the FH+, but when I first encountered the sandstorm, my friend got a bad headache and me too. And I didn't find any way to toggle the sandstorm off, and it continued for a long time. Makers haven't really thought about people who have some epileptic disease...
I was told that I should leave the map if I don't like it, but I was in middle of roleplay when it started, and I didn't want to leave, but when I was about to throw up, I had to quit playing... :(

wow, I honestly thought you were being dramatic, but then I experienced an identical sensation pretty quick off as well. My head was pounding after a couple minutes.

The sandstorm effect is nice though, but it needs to be thinned out and not last so long. I had to leave the map before I could explore, and I really didn't want to look around with only 2 feet visibility anyways.

I've only seen sandstorms in Endless Plains...but Simba said they last up to 3 in game days, which is way too long. Can't even see the map anymore.

I had a talk with Simba, he(or she, I dunno.) said that he'll shorten it to half. I said that it should be shortened even more than that, my friend threw up because of that sandstorm! Anyhow, he also told that you can delete the effects of sandstorm; Go to FH+, then to media and then to sky, then delete all files that say "sand" in it. (I know messing with the files is against the rules, but Simba gave me a permission to do so. Fair enough. ) I haven't tried it yet though. I really hope the next update will be here soon and they make the on/off button in the game.

Gracious, I had no idea about this. I should probably go and see if I get the same reaction. Endless Plains, is it?
