So as far as I can remember, we were told that Destiny will include dynamic weather. This is basically weather that will change often, like minecraft if you've ever played it.
This really excites me, as walking around in the sunshine, then dramatically changing to a thunderstorm in the same area is an experience in video games well worth.. experiencing. As well as giving a sense of awe, it makes a game so much more realistic, instead of being day time 24/7.
Now in the Alpha, while exploring Old Russia we only seem to come across snow, which wasn't really noticeable anyway, and occasionally the Tower got a bit misty. As for the Crucible maps, I only saw Rusted Lands having a day/night cycle. To my understanding, we saw a limitation to dynamic weather only because it was Alpha, or, perhaps the weather only changes in certain areas, like Venus is often stormy or Mars has the occasional sandstorm (even though that's not really weather).
I think dynamic weather is amazing, and I'm really looking forward to exploring Destiny's vast areas with a different atmospheric feel every second time. I was wondering, what's your guys thoughts on it? Are you excited? Also can anyone elaborate on anything they know about dynamic weather?
- See you starside.

Rain in Minecraft is loud and it pisses me off. If they can create rain that doesn't make me want to smash my headset into small pieces, I'm all for it.
