Seasonal Changes?!

Ok so really I noticed this last week but I've been to busy to post and unfortunately I'm not even home to take a picture to post, so call this imagination time.

Basically is it just me but are the trees changing colors in game? Is this new? I've never even noticed this before. Sure I noticed the falling leaves effect before, but I was shocked when I realized it seems the trees in almost every zone are fall colors now rather then green. (Well obviously not perez, curse you tree canopy! And I didn't look villain side.)

So, a stealth change? Or am I insane and this has always done this?

(Yes I'm probably insane regardless but humor me anyways )

I'd been idling outside a mission in Peregrine waiting for someone when I noticed the pile of red leaves under one tree and yellow leaves under the other. Unfortunately no one on VU2009 at the time knew if it was something new or not.

I started to notice all sorts of things when I stopped drinking. For one, I realized I rarely wore pants.

Wait, what are we talking about?

This comes up every fall for some reason.

The trees* are exactly as they have been since the game launched in April 2004. No seasons then, no seasons now.



* okay, now you can make leaves and branches shake off the trees depending on your powers.

Yeah I just did some screenshot comparisons, seems they don't change, I just never noticed in some zones they aren't green before. Well obviously besides Croatoa its always Halloween there.

It did look really cool in Peregrine with the colored leaves falling.

Well, we did have all the water in Paragon City freeze over with ice one year. (This was before CoV was added.) That was great fun sliding all over, especially when attacking critters using KB powers. We played Hydra hockey all over Perez Park using Hydras as pucks. Then there was when a Dev started spawning all sorts of critters on the ice in Perez Park to great amusement. Don't recall if that last bit was on live or on test anymore, but it was as funny as hell.

I thought the same thing too, one time.

Then I realized that some zones had greener trees than others. And if you go from a green-tree-zone to a fall-color-tree-zone you get the impression of a seasonal change.

But the green tree zones are always green and the fall color tree zones are always fall colors.

It's really too bad they don't do this anymore. I'd love to see PC frozen over during winter. I wonder why they stopped?

There were some problems with it. I didn't experience any personally, but I think people who logged out before the freeze and logged in afterwards were sometimes stuck in the ice. Seems like a quick /stuck would take care of that, though. It might have caused issues with mobs spawning in ice and getting stuck. I'm not sure. I'd like to see them bring it back too.

I attacked a -5 minion who was standing in some fallen leaves and I missed! The great mystery has been solved.

I'm in Talos (Justice) right now, and am standing under a reddish/orange/golden colored tree, that is also shedding the same color of leaves. Across the street there is another tree about this same color, and a more golden colored one a little ways from that.

Yeah we verified it was a misnomer. Apparently some zones just have fall colored foliage while others don't. I'd just never noticed it before the other day >_<

I've been here for almost 4 years, and I've never noticed that, either.
