Just something I thought of in the car, but eventually rain will become a part of the real game. So, it'll randomly start raining on occasion for a few minutes. The rains won't make puddles of water or blocks of anything, but will instead give surface blocks a 'glossy' look, making them seem wet. The glossy look would just be an overlay added to the tops of all blocks that aren't under anything. Grass that has the glossy overlay will be able to get tilled and will instantly become wet farmland.
If we ever get a momentum-based system of movement then glossy blocks that are smooth (Rocks, metal blocks, etc.) could cause you to slide a LITTLE, as if you were on a less-slippery piece of ice. So, as in real life, it would become rather retarded to go hopping up a smooth stone mountain while it's pouring down. Thoughts?
Honestly, this is what I hate about the forums. The closest thing any of those replies got to helping the thread was nebb and his thunder idea, which I don't really like. I just remembered why I stopped coming here months ago, this place started resembling 4chan (Without the porn).

Yea..... 4chan is better.
EDIT: Oh yea almost forgot... I like the idea, it would give more ways to create traps.... ex: Player comes running at you, you hop across your lava moat.... they slide towards you and cant stop fast enough, they fall into lava..... It would add a bit more strategy

What are you talking about? If you're talking about http://www.youtube.com/user/Nizzotch#p/u/15/ZCYXl0fwyrs, I know there's rain already, I'm just suggesting a use for it.
Or small holes in the ground will be allotted to the water gods.
Real wiz right here.
