the band of puff ball clouds...  real fps killer, major fps killer.

fps drops from 20 to 3-5 around those long bands of puff ball clouds, there's simply too many crammed into too small a space.

i bet i'm not the only one affected, either.

it'd be nice if they were reduced in density or replaced with other types.
Surrounded by suck and underwhelmed with mediocrity.
I'm always right, it just takes some poepl longer to come to that realization than others.

Leave 'em their  I'm enjoying the highest Kill/death ratio in three years...! :p

Seriously though... I have seen buffs disappear in the clouds to my FE, yet they could see me plane as day.... and kill me just as fast...!  

Funny thing is, they mentioned that this is a known cloud bug!  WTF????  Why is HTC allowing people to abuse known bugs in the game?

10bears mentioned something about 32 4k clouds in a string...  it's just too dense for quite a few people's systems.

Those clouds Shane is referring to even bog down my rather decent system into the low 20's or even high teens; clouds are nice but those are overkill
