    The fog is completely cut out wherever there is sky, though, and its more clear that this is happening during the day... and that shouldn't happen.

    I love the fog. I'm hoping they can improve on it and make it a more important part of the game (like providing half cover for ranged attacks).

    It should work like the dark, and both should affect stealth, aggro, accuracy.

    It would be great if there were different densities of fog, too, just like there are different degrees of stormy weather; and this could also depend on the location if regional weather is ever put in the game. I mean I don't suppose we'd see fog in some environments more commonly than others.

    Sadly, I bet these fog debuffs will be instated for avatars and ignored for the mobs. I went to Brookside to see the changes and could see absolutely nothing. Wonder if I will ever go back? Meanwhile in combat areas, I am getting fire bolts shot through the fog at me from invisible mages. Apparently they can see me just fine.

    Yea, this is what I mean. :D Although in some cases it might be fun --- like if you have an enemy to have night vision to see in the dark, or another type of enemy that can see through fog (steam or fog elementals!). But you shouldn't expect archers and mages to see you at all.

    I revisited Brookside several hours later and still cannot see anything. This is not a combat area and if fog is permanent in this town I pity the poor vendor owners. As for myself, any improvements to the area will always remain a mystery to me because I am never going back.
