Title: The obs pantopicon - i hear rain, but its not raining, or snowing
Reproduction Rate: 1/1
Blocker? no
Details: i hear the wind blowning, but i also hear rain, but it is not raining or snowing. This rain sound was not present when i first came into the scene, but when i was climbing on up where the ice elemental, wolves, and bears are, the rain sound started and has been going on for about 5-10 minutes now. Is this sound intended? it seems outa place.

i do here a steady hiss close to the canyon walls, but it seems to me to be more an indication of the steady wind under the gusts. @Sannio

 

Hey Oop. I have tinnitis, so I hear a hiss all the time
But this sounded like rain splashing on the ground, and was separate from the windy hiss sounds.
It did seem strange, cuzz the sounds did not jive with the visuals.
I noticed no change in the weather visuals in that zone. Could it be that the visuals on the weather are overridden (and so the rain is not showing), but the sounds still cycle through the various weather patterns?

Addendum: just jumped back into QA. I turned music volume to zero. I went to an area up on top of the cliff (where bears and wolves are), and then walked to an area that had minimal to no wind sounds, and the rain sound was very prominent, and was the only thing i could hear ( iwas not in combat, so there were no other ambient sounds). I was fiddling around trying to get a video capture, and before I could get a capture, the rain sound faded away. So, I think the rain sound is intermittent. So, I somehow caught this oddity twice in a row. I was in the zone for a while thereafter, and did not hear it again.

 

Sannio,
I think the hiss is what is what Alley Oop heard (although I am not sure if she was describing the normal sound of the wind whooshing).
For me, I did not hear a hiss. I heard what sounded like raindrops hitting the ground: not like drops that you hear in the cave (which sounds like a drop of water hitting a pond), but more like the steady tap of many raindrops hitting the ground. The raining did not sound weird (i.e. like it was corrupted), it just was out of place since there was no raining visual. . As far as i can remember, it was the sound the rain makes elsewhere in the game (tho, as I said I have not played in over 6 months).
Maybe a dev can jump into QA with me and make it rain in a POT or something, and then I can say for sure if the sound I heard was uncorrupted rain.
I do not use steam.
I'll have some time today. I will try to jump on and get a video capture if it happens again.

 

okay, i have a video capture of the sound

You might have to click the volume icon in the upper right corner of the video to hear the audio (the icon sometimes is a bit indistinct)

Also, on live server today: it was raining in pinotpicon, sound and visuals.
